Don't start attacking each other too early please, I want Kasia to take as much time as possible.

I don't they'll attack each other.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Balsamo done

Easy win for Vos. The peloton was 30 seconds behind. 1:38 for the CUL group. Un jour horrible for FDJ with Muzic crashing at the end as well, though she should get the same time as the peloton.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Balsamo done

Completly exploded. Wow

 

[sir fly]

The crashes were really unnecessary.
The wind and attacks would do it anyway.

Niewiadoma and Longo Borghini could use a couple of dozens of seconds more.

Congrats to Vos.

Big fail from Trek, did they really think that LBL attack would work? Why didn't they pace with Longo Borgini to take as much time on GC as possible while still giving Balsamo a chance for the sprint?

Happy for Vos, fantastic to see her getting a win already!

Apart from that a bit of a shitshow in good TdF tradition regarding favorites crashing. Disaster for FDJ and others like Faulkner also lost big time.

 

[BR2]

Ooh, I only looked at the profile and thought it would be a boring stage. Didn't watch it. But must have been full-blown drama.

Nicole Frain didn't brake at all there. Wow!

Cavalli is at least back on her bike.

And she nearly collected Nicole Spratt.

I guess Trek had to do the most work, so using Balsamo to keep up the pace was probably fine, but ELB shouldn't have attacked just to slow down afterwards.

I hoped to see that adorable winning salute of Cavalli some time this week, and now I hope she'll be able to start a race soon.

 

[Dk one]

Frain ffs, so reckless!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Frain ffs, so reckless!

I guess she was on the limit trying to get back after her own crash and then didn't spot the danger in front of her, but it didn't look good at all.

She stopped pedalling some meters before so she most have seen something. Horrible for Cavalli.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

That Frain situation must've been a mechanical or something? Surely you don't Yolo yourself through a big crash with 50kph just because you worry that you'll miss out?

Vos has won 241 races - Reckon Vos has won 40 races with her ability to read a race. Watched the back view of the Cavalli crash - Frain did brake, albeit a bit late but it seems her brakes failed.

Who was the Parkhotel rider that looked like she was chasing back on with Frain? She looked pretty bad when the camera showed her after the crash stumbling around in the ditch slightly dazed.

 

[MartinGT]

Cavalli taken to hospital. Sounds like as a precaution.

 

[sir fly]

I find it really amusing how tall Slappendel looks next to Lloyd.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Just seen the crash, absolutely horrific. WTF was Frain doing, please throw her out of the race.

Did you see the back view of the crash ! I suggest you watch it !

 

[RedheadDane]

Holy ***...
Was on my way from work, so didn't see the crash as it happened.

 

[Stan955]

That definitely does not look like stopping, more like she was trying to kills that poor girl.

Good god. Assuming her brakes were working, that's on a par with what Groenewegen did to Jakobsen for me.

 

[sir fly]

Like Frain was trying to slalom her way through the pile.
