Ineos Grenades get the hero to zero award for the year. I feel sorry for young Pidcock, they gonna be looking to push him hard to produce a big one soon.

So much for using the team as a marketing tool for the launch of that familiar looking 4x4.

Thinking abt this - perhaps they are slipping and sliding (and falling) due to an sudden spike in oil leaks??

Suppose it depends on his injuries.. [emoji2368]

 

Edit

 

 

Highly unlikely

Coverage has started ..they are rolling towards km 0

[Gen]

The guys are lus..they are swarming that lead car.

Stage 4 is a go!!!!!

[Gen]

3 riders up the road..looks like that's the break for the day. They have 50"

[Gen]

There is that "bump" in the middle of the stage today that will make things interesting..which sprinters will be okay..which teams will try get rid of the very fast guys ..or make it very hard....its 12km long but not too steep 5/6% average

apparently fractured hip

[Gen]

FDJ have come to the front to control things... there is a tailwind so they will keep a close eye on the gap..

Just been confirmed by Eurosport that he has a fractured pelvic.

The three riders have 4 minutes..

Gutted for Thomas. 

 

Based on his form, the relative weak field and the 2 time trials awaiting he was probably the overwhelming favourite.

 

But life goes on....
