Tour De France - Étape 1

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

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.

Moinard last man home

Cousin won combativity

OPQS rider Tony Martin being taken from team bus to hospital via ambulance. Reportedly broken collarbone, lost consciousness inside bus

Not good that, no reports of any other serious injury, apart from Thomas going for an x-ray

Martin just after the crash http://twitpic.com/czvljz

Then being taken off to hospital https://twitter.com/velonews/status/351011320159682560/photo/1

Shambles!

That puts paid to me winging Corsica..... 1 of my sprinters not involved in the crash ..out of 5!

Stumped for tomorrow, who to keep out of Grepiel and Cav, as Greipel looked worse off, but as for the IMS towards the start if they both go for it Greipel is better priced. Will axe Bouhanni and keep Kittel now, as Kittel will still get a couple of green jersey points.

Then who to bring in, Sagan? he went down, maybe one for Gerrans, or Nava Already have Dumoulin and Hivert who id expect to be there

Mmmm 1st and 2nd + Lobato and I was disppointed to be 155th on the stage....but with over 5,000 scoring teams....that'll do nicely!

5th!!! oh feck, I might have to take this seriously...

Just checked the Team Sky site and its been updated saying both Stannard and Thomas are both fine
