Cycling ought to follow US football and rugby and put a concussion protocol into place. In this case a doctor probably would have transported poor Warren to a hospital for observation.

It seems like every time something like this happens there will be an outcry, resulting in extra focus, then after a while it's promptly forgotten about… until the next incident.

Wind isn't as strong as yesterday but is a cross wind and potential for echelons! Although, reading it looks more protected than yesterday.

Sam Bennett FTW to come back after yesterday's disappointment.

Loved Benoot and Alaphillipe yesterday, they showed grit and went for it. Proper racing.

Shame there wasn't wind on this open piece, but you can't have it every day.
Appreciation to the traceur's intention, nevertheless. Textbook section.

Was a little confused by the fact that it looked like Quintana was in front for Arkea.
Which, I guess, was technically not wrong...

[Simurgh]

Poor LRP caught out again

He is a gregario in this race.

 

[MartinGT]

Alaphillipe best be careful drafting the car!
