Apparently Talansky has quit.

It did come across like Talansky was strong-armed back onto that bike. I hope I am wrong. Heroics under duress do not make for comfortable or inspiring viewing.

Interesting that the Belkin Bianchi that was tangled up with it is OK though - obviously that Italian craftsmanship is something good. Shame about the colour.

Talansky abaondons, no surprise there

Good thing that on this forum we don't obsess about the same riders over and over

....... Much.

Breakaway 3.46 ahead with Langevelt (Garmin), Rast (Trek), Clarke (Orica), De La Cruz Melgarejo (Net App) and Vachon (Bretagne Seche).

That is all

From the letour.fr feed: "Questioned during the race by letour.fr, Giant-Shimano's DS Christian Guiberteau said: “I was surprised to see John (Degenkolb) finishing second yesterday but he was surprised as well [after suffering a muscle thorn in his bum that almost forced him out of the Tour in stage 6]."

Suffering a what?

 

[smutchin]

I suspect something has been lost in translation - as far as I can tell, it's a muscle tear or strain.

Langevelt back up front after the crash, still no news on De La Cruz

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

The Net App rider, De La Cruz is out

Then there were 4.
