Another entertaining start to a stage.

Watching them trying to sort out a break can be good fun.

And Vino trying again. Good.

Any1 know why chavanel abandoned?

“This morning he was really sick,” Brian Holm told FranceTV about Sylvain Chavanel. “He spoke with team doctors, who advised him to stop. The start is very fast, and he could not follow and so he abandoned."

50km into a 'flat' stage and a break still hasn't been established - but because the GC isn't going to change I suppose it's boring?

I think it's exciting not everything has to be about the GC.
