Heavy crash for Roglic today in Basque Country. Not sure he should have been allowed to continue on....the concussion check protocol probably needs looking at in cycling....he looked really wobbly when he got to his feet and when he first started pedalling again. Also was pretty tore up....not sure he will be able to compete in the days ahead when Evenepoel and Vingegaard start attacking on the climbs.

Feels like a big year for Remco. Can he keep his level throughout a grand tour? Or is he doomed to catastrophic drop offs in basically every 3 week race he enters.

Roglic in team car as well. German media reported that both Roglic and Remco have broken collarbones. But again nothing confirmed. Vingo looked worst of the 3 as he was taken off to hospital in ambulance. Apparently all riders taken are conscious and talking so that is a small positive.

Won't have to watch today's stage when I get back from the game... ;D ;)

Just kidding. Today was the only day I've tuned into this race live. Shit happens.

Roglic is apparently OK - no broken bones. Vingegaard has a collapsed lung though. Should all be OK for Le Tour, one would have thought.

Women's Paris-Roubaix was good. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Lets hope so.....remember how undercooked Vingo was at the Tour last year after recovering from the broken wrist...the weeks off the bike will set back his training regime etc.

Jonas being undercooked may make the tour more interesting. He’s far too dominant over 3 weeks otherwise.

Looking forward to today, rubbish time for the Liverpool game though.
