Am guessing he need to practice his bunny hops... and mistimed and hit the curb rather than jumped over...

 

If he hit the curb hard enough to crack both wheels then he was either running pressures way to low or has junk wheels. (Speaking from experience klapping a massive pothole in the bunch at 70kph with 22mm tyres, broke both cages, bars twisted and headset came loose. one slightly cracked rim and one burst tubby)

At the second check, UAE Team Emirates have given away 1:05. That is not good for Dan Martin and his overall ambitions.

Eagerly waiting to see what sunweb will do.. and of course see Tony Martin in beast mode..even though he isn't so much a beast anymore... still looks the part.

At the line, EF Education First drop just 35 seconds to BMC Racing. That is a fine effort for them and keeps Rigoberto Uran well up there.

Team Sunweb have set off and we've got just eight more teams to start. They and Quick-Step Floors are the most likely remaining teams that have the capability to beat BMC Racing's time.

UAE cross the line with five riders and they've given away 1:38 on BMC Racing. That is a very disappointing time, despite a huge effort from Alexander Kristoff in the final kilometre.
