I'm off out so I'll catch the rest tonight.Doubt Sagan will give up without a fight.Im thinking this stage suits him more than Bennet ?
I don't want to say I said so yesterday.But when he got up and fell back down that should of alerted the relevant medical/race official to pull him over.Touch wood he makes a speedy recovery.
It does beg the question re concussion protocols in cycling. Problem is that it takes several minutes to assess which seems impossible in a sport where seconds matter. Having said that, letting Bardet get back on the bike was a terrible decision. I'm not sure how to resolve this. Given the nature of cycling, head impacts are inevitable
My view on yesterday should of been to pull him from the race straight away.If it takes 10/20 mins to diagnose so be it Then if the riders ok to ride on let him draft or be given time ..I know it's a difficult one but it's to dangerous to risk head injurys especially.
Out myself today again.I think if the GC men get to the final climb it'll be another Roglic Pogi day.The only way I see different is if Ineos can/could push on from a long way out,can't see it to be honest but they'll have to try.Im going for another breakaway day,fancy Hirschi again or is that just greedy ?
The ITV commentators were saying that they were ‘all in’ because if they let up they were inviting attacks.
