Yeah, apparently so. He didn't rise to the occasion though.

It would have been very hard for him, having to pull out of the race prematurely in such a way.

I must have missed this, was Bennett involved in something earlier?

He's going under the microscope tonight.

Okay, okay... I think I'm beginning to get the picture

I guess not in strong cross winds

 

[Simurgh]

Pogacar down!!

 

[Volderke]

Martin and Pogacar down

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bad luck again Pob

 

[RedheadDane]

Formolo looks in pain...

I guess not in strong cross winds

Would the strong cross winds make the bridge even cooler? Perhaps even cold depending upon the time of year.

 

[BlueRoads]

Formolo looked bad.

 

[spalco]

Pogacar should come back, for Martin it will be difficult, tough break.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Gap coming down.... Cofidis ttt got this

 

[BlueRoads]

Cofidis all in for Martin

Coquard was a bit ridiculously close to the car there. Talk about drafting like

Btw. unless I misheard, the Eurosport guys said yesterday that Cofidis hasn't had a stage win in the Tour since 2008, is that really true?

I checked and it's true.

Crazy. Seems like almost as fluke it should happen more often than that for a team that takes part every year and supposedly doesn't hire hopeless riders exclusively.

They have improved a lot, now that Daminani has taken over as a DS. Viviani coming to the training camp in Bananito shape after the lockdown (allegedly) is a bit of a problem in this Tour.

Sagan gets 2pts back from Bennett

 

[spalco]

Trentin getting into the competition could be good for Sagan. A three way split of the points could be in Sagan's favour when he keeps his consistency high.
