I actually think he fell because Gerrans came from his outside and crossed him and took his front wheel out. That of course happened because as you say he wasnt looking forward but sitting up and looking directly to his right. Maybe even trying to communicate on his com piece? Strange.

Is it just me and my weary eyes or prior to the crash was the Garmin rider not even looking where he was going?

Sounds like smashing fun!

Which is brilliant! I'd rather the race was decided on a stage like yesterday than a time trial. The drama and racing was incredibly entertaining. Unlike most stages yesterday you look away and you potentially miss something exciting.

Thor Hushovd was doing what Sagan does now before Sagan arrived on the scene in a big way. His 2011 stage win on a mountain stage was fantastic to watch.

Loved that stage to bits. Wish there were more stages like that than time trials which personally I find a tad dull.

Will be interesting now to see what Porte can do in a major tour as the #1 rider for the team.

Yup, he's abandoned.

Froome is done for this tour. Amazing. Never looked comfortable in the wet at all.

I love riding in those sorts of conditions.

Kristoff was a great effort. Having to lead them all out that far out in the spint and to just get overhauled by Kittel.

Some more on bike camera work on the OGE bikes on back stage pass. Gives a good idea of how close people get and the noise around the riders.

Of course it is. It has your genius written all over it!

Don't think he'll be providing much competition mate!

Well it looked exactly like the same thing that got Mark Renshaw disqualified a few years back. And no, just got back from watching UFC fighting so havent caught any cycling news today until now ;)

Did Cav make the field today or did he get thrown out of the race by officials?

I don't know why he would try to shift Gerrans 2-3 bikes across with his head. He had enough room to race if he just rode straight line.

What do you mean he shouldnt be there?

WTF was Cavendish doing.

Riders shouldn't have to be stopping and getting out of the saddle like that so often. Not in the biggest cycling race of the year.
