Apparently fainted twice at the finish... Will be surprised if he starts tomorrow - will make TT's wide open....

STAGE 2

Sagan would be my favorite for this one... But, could this be the kind of stage for Impey to spring a surprise...?

 

Side note - he came 11th today... so if he finishes in front of the 10 guys who beat him today, he could just take yellow.... :whistling:

Barb wire crash icon, Hoogerland, hits the deck.

 

What a dramatic opener to the 100th tour.

Pick that Bianchi up of the floor. Art is not to be treated in such ways... :whistling:

“It’s going to take more than that to take out the ‘Hulk'...IIt was a hard fall, but I am okay. It was chaotic. Tomorrow we fight again.”

 

Sagan

 

(Phew)

 

Agree, Sharks won :). Sagan did not :(

 

But could have been a lot worse - at least he is okay!!

Orica fined CHF2000 for bus incident

 

Plus I think they are going to take the buses 1st place away from it and it will probably start with a time penalty today.

Ugly rumours doing the rounds that it failed the mandatory drug test for 1st place -something in the diesel fuel.

Gonna be a good one.

Gilbert to get his 1st win in rainbow stripes?

 

Doubt it. My guess is that he's got a job to do for the 1st week at least: protect Cuddles. Once into the second week, he might be let off the leash.

 

David Millar looked very good yesterday. I'm tipping him for a go, or Chavanel, Roy, Voeckler, Simon Gerrans or Dan Martin. Although not sure if Garmin Sharp will hold David/Dan back to protect Ryder. My guess is 'no' - if the opportunity presents itself, they must go. Ryder's form doesn't come with any guarantees at the moment.

The whole Sky team could have been taken out in that crash. Happened pretty much right in front of their train. Froome just squeaked by as it happened, the rest of his team with varying degrees of less luck.

@iamtedking is ready to put his number on the back: he will bite the bullet to start the 2nd stage :)
