[Publicus]

Nice bike handling from the Movistar rider to avoid going down

 

[infeXio]

7km




Crash: ouch,Kittel

 

[Afrank]

Another crash and we haven't even hit the cobbles yet. This is going to be carnage.

 

[ILovecycling]

ouuuuu Alberto and Vincenzo almost down

 

[Publicus]

Wiggo would have been a good asset for Sky on this stage... !

I doubt it. Wet racing isn't his thing

Piti

10ch

 

[Netserk]

I think it was Roche that got off the road and Berto just was slowed down.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kittel skittled
Nibs and Alberto safely navigated passed though

 

[woodburn]

Looks like Van Summeren went for a swim in a puddle.

 

[Afrank]

Demare went down apparently. Hope he's okay, want him to do well.

I think it was Roche that got off the road and Berto just was slowed down.

yes,fortunately he is on the front again

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Alberto almost went down.

Tinkoff now all around Contador.

 

[King Boonen]

I doubt it. Wet racing isn't his thing

He's fine on the flat.

 

[ILovecycling]

Cannondale doing a good job on the front

 

[benzwire]

These guys are having enough trouble on the pavement. The cobbles will be very interesting!

 

[inri2000]

Man I wish I was watching this live earlier, I missed the chance to go "Black Dawg Down"

 

[Publicus]

The last wheel I would be following right now is Chris Froome's but that's where Contador is at the moment.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tinkoff-Saxo are a bit sporadic in the positions at the front

 

[No_Balls]

Was that Contador down from Saxo?

NVM, no one from Saxo crashed

Nope. But damn close.

 

[ILovecycling]

Only two riders with AC!

Exhibition stuff from Cannondale - putting alot of pressure on the race. Pressure is causing these crashes and Sagan is benefitting,.
