    Now I don't mean to sound like a traditionalist, but that blue tire Jumbo Visma have is absolutely horrible.

    I actually love it

    Never realised Poulidor never even wore yellow for a day.

    I'm liking the Alpecin Fenix "Mercier" tribute kit. Just a shame that the white shoe and sock combo looks like abattoir wellies.

    I thought it was a rip off of the old Navan Road Club jersey.

    I presume the likes of Alaphilippe has to attack here at some point if he wants the win and the yellow.

    That Lithuanian national Jersey is far too similar to the World Champs Jersey. I thought there was an imposter in the Peleton pretending to be Alaphillipe

    Imagine all those months of hard work and training wiped out by a gob****e on the side of the road who wanted to get on TV and having to drop out before the first stage is complete. What a sickener. That fan is going to have a rough new weeks I’d say.

    I was thinking the same. He kinda has the same body and riding style too (stop giggling)

    The distinctive goatee helps to clarify matters in the end.

    So this is home turf for Madouas. Be great if he could grab the surprise win.

    That crash looks rather horrific, some pretty sore bodies after that.

    Hatch going on about lost time but surely they'll get same time for a crash like that.

    If it was 3km to finish - yes, but not for that crash.

    Didnt the ES commentators predict something like this given a full fresh peleton and the stage profile?

    The survivors of the crash didn't really need a climb at the finish.

    I know it's 3km as a rule but I thought there had been exceptions made in the past for situations like this.
