Apparently tomorrow’s stage has been drastically shortened due to landslides and weather issues from 125km to 59km. Hope there’ll still be time to affect the leaders and the whole Tour doesn’t fizzle out |

Registered 13 years agoHad Thomas and Bernal for podium at the bookies, but also hoped for Pinot to make it too.
Shame these last two stages were altered so much, which have changed strategies, but seeing the snow & landslide was the sensible decision. -

Registered 16 years agoHeh. I really recommend the podcast he's been doing with Matt Stephens. The past week of 'micro' podcasts (~10mins) summing up each stage has had me in stitches. -

19 years old.
First World Tour one day race participation.
Youngest rider in the peleton.
All over the press earlier this week because he broke up with his girlfriend and moved to Monacco for his career.
We're in for some interesting years with the likes of Evenepoel, Van Aert, Van der Poel, Bernal ... comping up and older guys like Valverde, Gilbert on their way out. -

First notice I saw yesterday shortly after it happened was crashed and airlifted. Later updates in the evening was that he couldn't be airlifted due to the injuries and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. -
