Hard to call a winner today, 

 

If a break can survive: Maybe Roglic, Barguil, Wellens, Brambilla, Betancur

 

If the Peloton catches the break before the line: Fuglsang, Froome.

 

I thought Roglic is a TT specialist? Everyone can do everything it seems. Strange days.

He's a versatile fellow, 4kg lighter than Froome.

Any news on Fuglsang after his crash? Hope he is hundreds, Enjoy watching him race.

Jakob Fuglsang was diagnosed with two very small fractures: in the left scaphoid and in the head of the radius of the left elbow. Despite these injures, tomorrow Jakob is going to start at stage 12 of the Tour de France.

Suspect if The Cheese don't take time off Yates today it's gonna be goodbye to that white jersey. Thus far his form appears the same as previous years, hanging on to the tail end of the train and at some point the cheese sours and rolls in later. Oh how I wish.

Rooting for Main Cheese today!!

Lets hope there are no more casualties today. 

 

It has been a bad month for cycling... Valverde, Cavendish, Thomas, Porte,....

 

And for tennis.... Murray, Djokovic...

Jumping ahead one day. What time is tomorrow's short stage starting?

 

I unfortunately wasted my "one afternoon a month off" on last week Wednesday's damp squib. Quite sure there will be fireworks tomorrow.

If he was further back he could have targeted today for polka points. Depending on what happens to GC, he could go for white with an attack later, but for now he's too close to yellow.

 

 

 

 

I haven't been able to catch many of the highlights but Impey has been pretty quiet so far.  Is the whole team just focused on Yates?

Orica are 100% a GC team for this tour - so in retrospect BlingMathews would have been very bored on their squad here (if picked). Originally the plan was for Chaves to do TdF and both Yates to do Giro. Chaves got injured and the brothers got to pick who did the tour (very cool that!)

 

They got some big dudes, tuft/hayman/howson for the flat stages

Impey has been around protecting yates/chaves in the fnial kms, you know when things get hetcic and the GC okes need to be in the front to avoid timegaps.
