Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[rich p]

I'm not sure which way to see today's split.
Either it has spoilt the 4 galacticos battling it out toe to toe...
or
... that it's only a minute and Nibali and Quintana will have to animate the race to get the time back.

Hopefully, and I expect, the latter.

They have their first chance on tomorrow's stage. Pity I'll be at work and reliant on following this thread for updates...

I'd imagine it would be just as accurate.

Great stage. Amazing what a wee bit of weather can do.

Big Greipel was immense but well done to Peter Sagan to get 2nd after his bike change with about 15km to go.

Hopefully the poor weather continues and keeps the GC boys on their toes.

I didn't see the whole race but did I hear right that Geraint has already started falling off his bike?

Aye, it wouldnae be a proper race without him falling off tho would it?

Not sure about Cav's post race comment to the effect that he 'couldn't' hold on for third, didn't look like he was going full gas to the line to me.

Great race today. They all earned their corn. Kwiato took the day's combativity prize which I think is fair and a bit of consolation for the disappointments of Cav and Der Panzerwagen. Monster effort from Sagan too to get back after his mechanical.

Someone hit him and cracked is frame (according to GT). Can't really blame him for that one.

I was amazed at his quickly Sagan could get back on. It only took ~1-2km. And at that speed it's very impressive.

Adam Hansen has a dislocated shoulder, the same one as a few weeks ago, but will start tomorrow's stage.

"Me on bad form is still better than him."

And ...

"If I wanted to get sh*t small wins, I'd race sh*t small races."

So, let me see .. that's Tour de France stage win number 7 for Greipel, and he has also won 3 stages of the Giro and 4 stages of the Vuelta!

Nowhere to hide when you are an out of form sprinter.

Especially now the internet's full of tw@ts who think they can do the job better.
