Tour De France - Étape 1

Massive pile up, Cav and Sagan down

Cav and Sagan down.

Greipel out too

Not sure who's there now. Greipel out!

Come on Kittel just stay away from Goss and it's yours for the taking

To be honest that crash is all due to that bus, and the organizers changing the finish, now theyv'e changed it back i think.

What a mess

Kittel wins

All riders in the crash will get the same time as finish line, due to the cock up even though it was outside 3km (however was inside 3km of the finish at 3km)

What a fecking mess. I think they will have to neutralise the stage and everyone gets the same time

Yeh they have neutralized it on time

Kittel won under a line of banners advertising Vittel.

Got 1 and 2 but a crazy finish! They'll be plenty more opportunities for the sprinters to fight it out though but a bit of a disaster for the organisers.

I think this was the top 7 maybe

Kittel
Kristoff
Van Poppel
Miller
Henderson
Steegmans
Dumoulin

NOT a happy bunny today, I had it all set up for a big win, now going to have to hit penalty points big time

So now official results are form the 3km mark??? What is going on??
Good luck sorting the scores out Dave

Everyone is reporting Kittel as the win

Official computer has taken times at the 3km to go, with Gutierrez in yellow

Guess we shall see soon

Man that was crazy and that's only stage 1

Ok so the results have now officially come from the finish line not 3km to go

Sounds like the bus was at fault but organisers should have had someone to prevent such a mistake happening in the first place.

The crash might have happened in any case but Cav seemed to be ok. Need to find out how Sagan is as I was going to bring him in tomorrow. Now I'm not so sure.

Had Sagan and Cav in today so not so good. Mind you i also had Kristoff so not all doom and gloom.

Decision now is do i keep sagan in for tommorrow or ditch him. Will hang on to see how he is first i suppose.

Took Danny VP out last night.
Put Juanjo Lobato in last night.

Up early this morning for a long ride in the sunshine.

Got Kittel and Kristof.

Got Kittel in my purist team.

Happy Bunny.

Geraint Thomas off for an xray, he did a full somersault over the bars

Tony Martin's injuries being reported as VERY serious

Contador is fine

Martin collarbone and out!

Tony Martin is OUT with a broken collarbone

1 and 6 is still better than nothing, plus the IM sprint, should still be a solid score

1,2,15 plus cav and greipels IM points. Should have over a hundred.

Think it will be wise to wait before making transfers.

Was going to bring Sagan in tomorrow, maybe not now.
