Can't believe that the authorities would give such guaranties, but I think there are some plans in case of positive cases. Don't know if they would cancel immediately.
Here in Munic there 65.000 thousand people in the football arena and people are squezed in the underground. That's way more risky then an outdoor cycling race.
It's a pity for Pogacar. Really bad luck.

it's a 5 star hotel at least. Imagine getting quarantined in a French F1 hotel next to the motorway...

Normally yes but even with it he finished way behind. So it was probably drafting to reach at least the gruppeto or be out of the race anyway after his crash.

It was really flagrant. Considering how badly he'd been banged up in the crash, I thought maybe the race committee might just penalize him some time but let him stay in. I guess they ruled by the book. Too bad for Warren.

That's the kind racing I love. Seeing guys like Quintana toughing it out in the rain and crosswinds. Alaphilippe animating yet another race, too. I actually don't really care if he wins but you know he'll make things interesting.

It's a 15k ITT. I think he stands to lose a lot more on the MTF, than what he can gain in the ITT. It's not only coming from the "true" climbers like Pinot and Quintana, but also from guys like Alaphilippe and Teuns, who can stand their own in an ITT as much as Schachmann.

Yes, did anyone see what happened to Jungels? He was visible near the front of the peloton pretty close to the end of the stage. Was he just dropped on the final climb?

Konrad as well maybe, I guess?! He looked good before

He seemed to die just before the climb. I assume that was the reason he didn't cooperate in the chase.
Although, I have heard before that he is not the biggest team player of them all.

Looks like it was probably for the best that Barguil was tossed. Not "just" because of the cheating, but also because apparently he didn't quite know what he was doing!

okay, thanks. I assumed he didn't work because he is/was the (co-)leader of the team for gc

He's been targetting cobbled classics, among other races, since at least 2016. With a few good results too (2nd in KBK just one week ago, top10 in Dwars and De Panne in previous years, 11th in Gent-Wevelgem once).
I'm more surprised Cees Bol made it with the top group yesterday.
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.

There was one point where he was about to get in the team car and he kicked off at the camera moto been there. So he put his cycle computer back on and set off again. Very bizarre.
Yes, I saw that. It seemed like he didn't want to give up so publicly and was "shamed" into carrying on. Poor guy was just so out of it.
Great stage though, more of the same please. Fingers crossed the race carries on all week.
