    That's awful for Porte, really thought he was going to be the main challenge to Froome as well

    Kinda fancy Stuyven today. A lot of the big boys for today have gc contenders to look after and it might affect them.

    Ridiculous amount of cars and moto's on the road. I thought they had put a cap on the number a few years ago. Seems there are more than ever.

    I hope the bike broke as a result of the crash and not the cause of it
