How do they even handle full on medical emergencies for cyclists?

"Have they taken any medication in the past 12 hours?"
"What? No! Never. Definitely not. Who told you these lies?"

Sounds like "Not dead" would be the best translation.

Descent seems to be drying out, big advantage for the later riders. Also lol at the american decking it on the first corner after the commentators talked about laser like concentration

It stopped just as the last females were finishing. Odds are the ascents and descents will be fully dried out by the time Froome starts
