CSC working with riders
that can’t help on the climb.
The field was definitely taking it “easy” on the first climb. Sprinters are everywhere in the group.

JV on Twitter about OP crash
Luckily, Oscar only broke his femur and shoulder. For those who didn’t see it, he shot off a wall and fell around 30 ft straight down. JV

Several CSCs (including cance)
hanging out at the back end of the field, probably just made a visit to the team car, now they appear to be moving up…

the lead four are in a different time zone
the chase through the valley only reeled in a minute, and the break still has a 14 minute gap on the peloton.

I'd love to see a documentary...
... on how they set the stages up each day. It’s gotta be one helluvan effort to get those inflated kite gates set up, get the “xxx km Sommet” banners… all the media stuff… the barricades…

in tow behind Cancellara and KAA.
Popo is still in the mix.

C is tucked in right with these guys.
I think Will is the first to pop off back of this group.
