Anyone watching this? It's live on Eurosport (right now as it happens) and at http://microsofttourtracker.amgentourofcalifornia.com/ (be warned: commentary on the latter is from Phil n Paul)

Latvian rider Toms Skujins took a right tumble yesterday and was in no fit state to remount and carry on. I watched this with mouth agape. It was like watching a drunk man cross an icy street.
