Commentary says time cutoff might be an issue for some riders. Would be some lols all around.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Sprint stage.

There was a crash early on in the race I didn't see and a guy's helmet hit something hard enough to break.

The winner, Bennett, was relegated for something I didn't even see and instead Ackermann gets the win.

I didn’t know Bennett got relegated, that sucks rear end.

Not sure if punishing that is a good idea tbh, could be counterproductive

Yeah, I think those are two defensible bumps given the racing situation (from what it looks like)

Plenty of room to the left, up in the barriers to the right, if he doesn't defend his line then he's crashing. This is the opposite of the nudges into the barriers that they're trying to crack down on.

Just turned it on and the lead group has 7:21 on the peloton.

Delayed start as Froome debates yesterday's time gaps with the race officials.

Looks like it was a few teams protesting not just froome and ineos

Unhappy that the 3 second gap rule wasn't applied to the finish

I got high hopes for today being fun. Cofidis drilling it to pull back the break already is a hell of a start to a stage with a bunch of climbing.

Looks like he was maybe trying to avoid the guy in front of him. Maybe shouldn't have been so close with stuff in his mouth or w/e.
