    He says he can't hear his audio... tweet him to let him know you can hear him.
    Or maybe tweet to say we can't hear you so take a break mate :)

    Yeah, it's a great pity.
    There MUST be some way for the various governing bodies to come to some arrangement to allow riders wear a combination jersey of World/Regional/National colours.

    Pavel Sivakov is injured, no details but he was at the rear and moving slowly after a crash about 5 minutes ago. Big hit to Bernal if its serious

    It's something that I haven't even considered beofre today but the time of year will mean more of this weather than is normally at the tour, could be a huge factor during some stages.

    Sivakov is banged up on his right side. At the Dauphine, he came down on his left side. Poor fella.

    Weather causing carnage. Would they neutralise the course if too many came down on the first stage?

    Discbrake failure for Alaphilppe?

    I think they have to catch the break and then they'll neutralise the race. Will we still have the sprint to determine the yellow jersey?

    Ewan over 6 minutes back.

    Nizzolo looks like he broke or dislocated something.

    I think Nizzolo's demise was called a bit early. Looks like he's getting back on.

    Sam is the fastest man out there , if he gets a clear run and times it well I can't see anyone stopping him but it's one dodgy unpredictable day out there.
