Online tracking has Meintjies 50 odd seconds behind Quintana with Sagan Group more than a minute behind meintjies.

No I don't think that's 100% accurate.

Yes. Stannard OTB... And one other. Hooe they're all OK. Dammit.

 

Good for Louis though.

And good for a lot of other riders too

Thank goodness, Allowed Meintjies to get back and allowed the break to build up time again.

Gerrans went down very hard and very suddenly. Wind may have been a factor.

took the corner too quickly and front wheel turned in and slipped away, very much like a motor bike crash.. Stannard had no where to go, ran in to him and OTB

I'm not convinced of that. Front wheel seemed to wash out very quickly but you could be right.
