***, how the hell is sagan supposed to get up the tourmalet if he's already struggling like this?

It's like losing the race lead because of drinking champaign on the champs elysees while being literally an hour ahead.

Wonder is Sagan will struggle to make time today.

Looking at him struggle, I’m kind of hoping the team pulls him. He doesn’t look like he can finish the stage.

Yeah doesn't look good for Sagan. Kristoff apparently gone past Sagan now. According to the live tracker

Degenkolb/Demare/Kristoff ina group at 4:31
Sagan (with Oss, Bodnar, Richeze, Troia) 5:26
Only one behind that is Vanendert 6:28

Kristoff always was in the peloton.

Just going by what the live tracker said. It did seem odd that Kristoff would start the climb quite a way behind the peloton.

Is Sagan heavier than previous years or less prepared for climbing? It's not only about the injuries. Entire race he's struggling on climbs.

Kristoff even further back than Sagan at the moment.

Sagan's with Oss & Bodnar and Richeze ... where is Démare?


Démare in the group with Kristoff, he was ahead of Sagan when he lost contact with the bunch.

Race center says Demaire is still in the Peloton. Hard to believe it would be true though. Sagan's right knee seems to be quite a bit swallowed.
