Multiple teams can be affected then, i hope with the good weather now, not more riders will be affected. And i hope Bagioli and Vervaeke will feel better today.

So will Remco give up the jersey or will those big bad teams (UAE & Jumbo) not play nice and chase the break? Depends how UAE & Jumbo feel, I suppose. Take it easy and have a training spin up to the Observatory - try to gain some time in a sprint (which did n't go so well on stage 3), or press QS to see how Remco's guys feel.
Movistar & Bora might well chase too but seems unlikely, and Jumbo will probably wait until stage 13 and see what happens on stage 10's TT. So UAE, it's up to you!
Looking forward to more of the Lenny's and the other youngsters.

Jumbo and UAE should put Kuss and Vine in the break

Jumbo and UAE should put Kuss and Vine in the break

Do you think UAE and Jumbo would allow that?

Will there be TV coverage of the first kilometers?
Eurosport will start at 2.30 p.m...

no. 1, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 21 are the stages broadcast from the start.

They should really change the coverage desgin in the future. Today for example the first and the last hour will be interesting. Everything in between not really..

When they cannot cover the full stage they should adjust their coverage in GT stages.. so instead of a coverage from 2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., they should switch it to 12.30 a.m to 1.30 p.m. and then again from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

This climb is a hidden TT: only the watt-o-meter is of importance; no need to care about the other competitors.
Apart from how Remco will do, it will definitely show the hierarchy at TJV. No way that Vingo & Roglic cross the line together. One will loose a significant amount of time which will negatively impact the tactical options of TJV in the mountain stages to come.

What sense would that make? It would be pretty annoying for the broadcast just to stop...

After the break has formed, normally the race calms down without much action until the final starts.. Of course it would still be better to have a full coverage. But I am talking about the stages where limited coverage is available.

Remco: "Look at me I'm Primoz I am falling off my bike"
Vinge: *Danish laughter noises*

JC what a freak show, sounds like Remco forced a joke on Vingo who is cringly smiling

By the way, Vingo's lookalike is Goran D. Kleut, Andy Ghoul Walker.

May we have an exciting stage 6!

Big crash apparently

QS will probably give away the jersey and I would like to see Jumbo try something with their numbers advantage if Remco is isolated.

Big crash apparently

All riders involved in the crash are back on their bike.

 

[Blanco]

Ayuso or break to win it.

 

[Rackham]

Big crash apparently

These were the teams involved according to Eurosport:

Chute dans le peloton ! Des coureyurs de la Groupama-FDJ, Cofidis, Lotto-Dstny et Astana Qazaqstan Team sont tombés mais tout le monde est reparti.

 

[Earns1985]

These were the teams involved according to Eurosport:

And one of them was Martinez.

Edit: Also Keldermann was involved in the crash..

 

[Red Rick]

Kelderman went down apparently

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is Wilco heritage

 

[Jagartrott]

Split in the peloton?

 

[Samamba]

Pretty annoying that we don't have early live images of stages like this. Weekend will be even more spectacle at the beginning I think.

 

[Earns1985]

As estimated a big fight for the breakaway today...
I assume the breakaway will be formed five minutes before the TV coverage begins..

 

[Samamba]

Talks about echelons even. 40 riders in first peloton.
