How the heck is Craddock going to make it through a cobbled stage tomorrow?

He might have Martin for company.

Pretty much everyday someone in GC has lost time through bad luck/crash/mechanicals etc

It's much more interesting than Kittel's domination last year.

WTF are the GC teams doing?
Finish Martin off.

Martin needed to get back before the sprinters got to the front and the pace picked up. Usual pace for the last few kms.

Gutted for Dan Martin, such a nice guy and awesome aggressive rider. Hopefully he’s as strong as he seemed up the Mur and may still vye for contention.

Yeah Martin seemed a likely bet to lose some time on the cobbles anyway, but if he's injured then it could be a disaster. Even if it's just road rash and bruises, the bumpy stuff is gonna hurt a ton.

I guess we can also quit the delusional discussion of whether Alaphilippe is aiming for GC. Quickstep priorities were quite clear.

Nice! Good to see that he shows that his pretour domination wasn't a fluke.

Gaviria and Greipel both relegated.

Gaviria not able to accept a defeat it seems. Someone needs to calm him down.

Greipel, seriously? Don't see what he did wrong?

He made Gaviria cry, can't have that :lol:

Groenewegen will be hard to hold out anyway in the remaining few sprint stages.

Probably his first relegation in a decade.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Disaster for Martin if he’s carrying any significant injury into the cobbles.

Greipel hasnt been relegated for this.
Its for the headbutt.

 

[Screecher]

I thought Greipel was a nice guy but maybe the pressure to get a result got to him.

They have to relegate a lot of riders in the future, if they relegate Greipel for this.
