Poor old Richie Porte (Aussie) crashed out in spectacular style, braking his shoulder and his pelvis.
And I still can't believe Peter Sagan getting kicked out for upsetting Mark Cavendish. Unbelievable!
Another Aussie Michael Matthews is wearing the green jersey now since Marcel Kittle crashed out, so I'm happy.
They are truly unbelievable athletes. To go that hard every day, over and over again. And keep riding through some amazing crashes and injuries with barely a murmer of complaint. I think it was 2 years ago Contador had a pretty bad crash - he needed a new bike and got back on to ride another 10km or so before giving up. Turns out he had a broken tibia ........

Follow Ups:
Stupid, stupid decision on the part of race officials. If anybody needed to be canned it was Cav. He deserves at least 90% of the fault for that crash. Not to mention the idiot race officials and their plan for the finish of that stage. A sprint finish through a tight section of road like that?!? WTF were they thinking, and why were they so aghast when a crash happened?!? Seems to me they got exactly what they planned for.
Sounds a lot like NASCAR.
Too much is never enough
The talk team puts a perspective on the events that I can't see during the race. The talking heads are agreeing that Froome is likely to take the win again. He just rides a smart race.
One more leg into Paris tomorrow.
Froome is damn good, but Aru is only seconds away from him. Tonight they will let it all out!

Once the competition got to where chemicals were needed to compete at the front, I lost interest.
