Yep

although it looks to me like Dean hit a spectator or a camera extended over the barricades.

any idea who the milram was that greipel was playing shoving with? maybe ciolek?

Thanks Ted

Greipel seems to be the initial cause but…

They should have known there was trouble ahead

“The plains of Puerto” sounds ominous. Regular blood rains, probably. All in all, a very biblical stage.

Greipel did swerve a bit into I assume Ciolek

but Dean didn’t really seem to have to move over much, he crashed into something on the side of the road, something that probably shouldn’t have been there. So Greipel caused it somewhat but it wasn’t as malicious as the Tour of Poland grab. Plus I imagine he was just having a worlds strategy talk with Ciolek…

Yeah, somebody on the side got seperated from something like a hat.

    Could have been someone leaning over the railing trying to video the riders as they passed and never saw Dean coming.

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
