    Steven Kruijswijk has abandoned due to the injuries he picked up in the crash during the TTT. Big blow for Roglic

    I hope it all remain calm today though

    Temperature has dropped a few degrees at the finish, which suggests weather system movement.. hope there isn't rain with the run to line we have today(6/7 roundabouts)

    Not Bora for Sam as Sagan doesnt want him at the Tour (Brian Smith) and Ackerman will be at the Giro

    Not Dim Data I hope ...not a great team

    Not DQS either as wont have focus on him at the Tour and also dont pay top dollar...just ask Viviani (who didn't get a Tour spot)

    Not sure about Katusha ...are they not merging with Direct Energie ??...This could be an option

    Maybe Sunweb ? They have the bucks after Dumoulin left and need a world class winner ...

    Comfortably in green though - two Irish riders in the 2 main jerseys of a grand tour. Is it the 1980s all over again?

    They mentioned he went the longer way around the last roundabout and lost his position.
    Then had to make up the ground.
    How he sliced through to the front I don't know - some man!

    Maybe Sam will learn his lesson and stop riding 24" wheels and use 700c wheels like everyone else:D

    As marvin80 said, Sam lost a lot of ground when he went the long way around that roundabout. Also, where were the rest of the Bora leadout train??
