Lol first time this year Milesi can show himself and they call him back...
There's some attacks now apparently. 14 riders with a small gap over the peloton.
EDIT: nvm caught already

How could there have been GC action so far...?
People are protesting against boring racing, race is neutralized.
"Reports of a demonstration now taking place with around 108 kilometres to go on stage 3. As a result, race organisers and commissaires agree that the peloton will be redirected down a different, alternative route for a short distance."

Poor demonstrators. Trying to stop racing while there is no racing.
The timing of the protest was... bizarre. I mean surely they could have picked a spot on the route where the race was televised?
You only need to check the tv guide to see the 'ideal' place to hold a protest would be in the final 70km or something, not 100km from the finish.
Not that I'm advocating protests of course (unless Rogla is losing a GT at which point go ahead mes amis, block the race for all I care), but if you're going to do something, I dunno, you might as well do it right.

Actually Hinault was among the demonstrators. They protested against the heavy engineering and excessive reliance on watts and meters & general lack of panache in the racing of this time and age.
Correction: "the peloton will take another road at a slower pace than usual"People are protesting against boring racing, race is neutralized.

The problem with this kind of "relaxed" racing is that it can lead to crashes as well. They're too bunched up.
You might as well have got a voodoo doll for the entire Jumbo team with that jinx.
You have to at least say touch wood to prevent a crash when saying that.
I was just thinking it happens a lot on such occasions in the TDF. Hope no one got hurt too much.
Next time I have to not talk about crashes before they happen.
