I am preparing for a rather neutralised finish today...yes I am being quite negative about this stage. We have seen similar sorts of stages like this in the past where it has ended in disappointment.

Everyone who almost causes a mass-crash due to making pictures, is stupid. You know as a spectator the peloton uses all of the road, sometimes even more.

That spectator. What a idiot!

Why is it a bit harsh? He interfered with a sporting event, and could have precipitated a crash? The other spectators around him didn't collide with a rider, so I think the comment is spot on.

I know he didn't do it on purpose, and he is probably sorry about what happened, but he should have been more aware of where he was.

Tell me when is the last time we had a stage like this in a GT and literaly nothing happened?

You could be right about today but give me some examples when this happened before?

2012 Stage 3: Orchies - Bourlogne sur Mer or 2010 stage into Spa?

They were both uneventful in relation to the GC.
