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 ........
