yep, it´s official, they fixed it so Kittel, Renshaw and Cavendish out

Anyway, it's not like it actually matters for the sprints that Kittel and Cavendish are out.

[heywoodu 15,174]

Wow, rumour has it people on the last climb were laughing in Cavendish' face. He got mad, a fight started (which he won) and someone threw his bike down the road/raving/cliff/whatever, after which Cavendish got in that last car and DNF'ed.

Yep, Kruijswijk did a good job to try and close a bit of the gap towards Froome for Roglic yesterday at the end.

A bit of showbizz in between the real stuff:

I am gonna be so ashamed of my country today 

 

It's time for Alpe d'Huez, AKA 'The Dutch Mountain'. That's always completely packed with half the Dutch population, especially in 'The Dutch Turn', turn 7. The finish is on the Alpe today, so that's gonna make it even worse  

 

Some illustration, this video was made 2-3 days ago in turn 7, where Dutch 'fans' (mostly just drunk people) have been camping for almost a week already.

Why is it called "The Dutch Turn"?
