~20 person breakaway that nobody was very interested in chasing. Gallopin was prepared to do the work at the front of the break to keep it going and take a Yellow into Bastille day. Tony Martin was just riding a completely different race to everyone else.

That's a pretty poo poo thing for a loving expensive piece of hand-made kit to do.

Two straight mountain time trials can't be healthy.

If there was a bike on the floor with a broken frame, people probably thought it must have been associated.

Tony Martin only finished 16 minutes back. I was expecting him to roll in with the sprinters, thought he was completely gone.

They took their time diagnosing Froome's injury. I'd have thought they'd have him in in an MRI or CAT scanner within a few hours of the end of the race.

It's safer than track racing. Or at least safer than track racing used to be. Safer than the Giro too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_cyclists_who_died_during_a_race

Surprised the team haven't dropped a few guys back to pull him on. Maybe they're not sure he's worth saving.

Team manager reckons he can still outclimb a bunch of sprinters even if they do have a group and he doesn't have a working back. "Will he retire" + pity gets you mad camera time.

http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2014/us/live/aso/ gives reasonable splits. The timing's not great, but it gives you an idea of where each group is.

I looked it up in the official rules, it depends on the assessed difficulty of the stage and the average speed at which the winner completed it. Assuming this is a medium difficulty stage, the relevant part would be: 10% between 38 km/h & 39 km/h; 11% between 39 km/h & 40 km/h; 12% between 40 km/h & 41 km/h; 13% between 41 km/h & 42 km/h; 14% between 42 km/h & 43 km/h; 15% between 43 km/h & 44 km/h

If they think he'll do the same thing tomorrow they'll kick him. If he doesn't retire at the end anyway.

He looks like he's done something to the muscles in his lower back. He really wanted to retire, but the team manager "encouraged" him to continue.

Wear your own, custom printed shirt. Have it sponsored by your local undertaker.

He's fine. He just needs a nap. Pinot really wants the white to be well in his control by the end of today.
