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.

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.
 
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.
