59. CANCELLARA Fabian + 00' 27"
There goes the GC.... Disappointing

Anyone know what happened? Crash? Mechanical? Or just caught out in the crosswinds?

Might just have given up once he realised there was not going to be a positive time gap for him.

Race will be won by a sprinter now if the forecast is anything to go by.

Do we know the starttimes for the teams, and will this slight drop in wind make much of a difference?

Remember it is standard road bikes not TT
