It's Tuesday!

Told myself I would watch the break go, then ride on the rollers for an hour or so during the down period of the race about an hour ago. Looks like that's gonna fall by the wayside!

 

[Cassirer]

Has Froome been dropped yet?

There just Was a replay of him running up ventoux. He would probably easily have outrun the froome of today on his bike.
Think of him what you will, but I will dearly miss all the wtf he brought with him.

Ewan DNF

Has Froome been dropped yet?

Froome hasn't been dropped yet and Remco hasn't attacked yet. Total chaos.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hopefully Caleb has just done a Cippo and not crashed

 

[titan31]

Hopefully it wasn't a crash as didn't think he'd drop out this soon

 

[Netserk]

Ewan DNF

Better to not finish a stage like this one, than just deciding not to take the start of one of the following ones.

 

[Carols]

Ewan abandons DeGendt is Free!!!

 

[Climbing]

Most likely it's crash related, communication came from the race doc.
Or maybe was suffering already previously.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ewan out. Doesn't seem planned this way... Hopefully it's just because he simply couldn't keep up.

 

[Anderis]

Giant fans...?

The Giant team has changed their main sponsor quite a while ago. I didn't know they had such a loyal fan base that they still influence cycling races several years later.

 

[Keram]

Ewan abandon What the hell. Fall?

[Eclipse]

We know there was a crash in the tunnel

Now we hear Ewan has withdrawn

2+2 = ?

I can't imagine he starts today if he was under the weather and already considering withdrawing

 

[sir fly]

A fall is a good excuse...

 

[Anderis]

Are you suggesting that the Giant fans were standing there with some sort of giant fans?

 

[RedheadDane]

Does anyone have a mention of that crash? Hasn't been any talk about it here.

They were giant fans at the beginning of the sentence, so written with a capital 'G'.

But unfortunately, it has turned out it was because of a crash...

I honestly doubt he was still in the bunch on top of that climb (in the tunnel).

But this was definitely not planned. So maybe something happened.

Not clear, but Radiocorsa news, so we've heard from italian live broadcast.

Hand in hand...

I told myself I will check who is in the break and go for a ride and come back about one hour before the finish. I think I dont make it

 

[titan31]

That break looks like they've a decent enough gap now that it will stick.

 

[Keram]

Well Eurosport missed the split

 

[BlueRoads]

Gaviria in the break?!
