He mostly caused the crash.
I hope so. If you’re not winning you should at least command an animal show at the back of the pelotonSo will Del Toro be doing some intervals during the stage to stay in shape, like he did Down Under?
Not really. There was no crash in the same corner 3 years ago, and while it was damp today, you'd expect the riders to ride with more of a margin then. Philipsen didn't.That crash was inevitable.

Impressed at the commitment to fitting six tricky corners into the final 2km. Mix that in with the 4/5% slope and this will be a very hard sprint I think, lots of stop starts on a tricky enough gradient.Stage 4
