Watch it.
If he abandons that would be a disaster for quintanaAlexNYC said:Dowsett arrived injured today. Hopefully it's not bad enough to cause him to exit the Tour as Movistar need him for the TTT.

Thanks for the concern, I'm all ok now, 6 stitches in my arm and it's as good as new, I won't post a photo, it's not for the faint hearted!
he won't but he will be 5% at that tttGigs_98 said:If he abandons that would be a disaster for quintanaAlexNYC said:Dowsett arrived injured today. Hopefully it's not bad enough to cause him to exit the Tour as Movistar need him for the TTT.

he has some time to recover so if it isn't bad enough to abandon he will probably be very helpful in the TTTEscarabajo said:I won't matter if he is really hurt anyway!Gigs_98 said:If he abandons that would be a disaster for quintanaAlexNYC said:Dowsett arrived injured today.

Some pictures of his cut before and after getting it stitched up, it looks horrible. Hope he is OK now that it is stitched updel1962 said:Always worried to here that Dowsett is bleeding with his condition, hope he is strong for TTT
I have wondered before and again now: what if a team doesn't have enough riders to qualify in the TTT? Do they just need everyone, whether that's five or four or even less?Moviestar said:Really a big blunder to have the TTT after such hectic stages. Tomorrow will be another battlefield with crashes. Orica already has 6 riders left, so it means they could only lose one rider in the difficult TTT, impossible!

As I understand it, if the team has less than five members left, the last rider home counts for the time.
For the team classification, the time of the 5th man on each team is recorded 5 times. In the event where a team no longer has at least 5 riders, those remaining in the race are required to complete the course within the permitted finishing time provided for in Article 22 (Coefficient 6).
