peloton very twitchy due to the worry of what was to come then something happened in the peloton half a dozen hit deck and Porte broken collarbone plus a Lotto Soudal rider out as well - looked like that might be collarbone as well. Now on first section of pave
the Astana rider with most of his top ripped off & half an arse cheek hanging out of the remains of his shorts probably wishes that is where he had landed.
Crazy stage, was there anyone who didn't crash? Those cobbles are a ****ing nightmare. Rest day then on to the mountains
think more of the crashes occurred on the tarmac than the cobbles. It was brutal & Froome was regularly just desperately hanging on to the leading group. There will be some incredibly tender bodies trying to sleep tonight.
Today at TdF on 1st mountain of the day about 2.5 km from summit painted on the road was Anglesey FC Coal not Dole Welsh NUM
Good stuff...................Not long seen todays highlights and wow, Sky take control. I'd like to watch tomorrows stage in its entirety. Not sure if I can, but some iconic climbs to enjoy. Sky may well increase their advantage.
Nearing the top of Alpe d'HUez now ... hope Bardet, Dumoulin or Thomas takes this, don't like Froome expecting everyone to do all the work for him, especially Thomas, the other guys are much braver
