What the hell, peloton has been attacked with pepperspray and the race is stopped for now.

[heywoodu 15,253]

Apparently some protesting French farmers did it....that's not the first time they pulled something like this, but this is definitely the worst I've seen.

[heywoodu 15,253]

So the farmers attacked the peloton by throwing stuff on the road to block them (potentially life threatening, luckily nothing happened there), followed by the police using pepperspray to those attacking farmers (before, hopefully, arresting them) and that got in the eyes of several riders.

Massive breakaway!

Is this the final stage for Demare? Almost 18 minutes before he is at the mountains.

[Agger 1,664]

Ouch, Gilbert!

[heywoodu 15,253]

That was nasty, really good to see him back up and even on the bike again.

[heywoodu 15,253]

Demare in major trouble again, today might be the day.

Yeah. Thanks to Rolf Sørensen for reminding Danish viewers that he crashed only a few hundred meters from where Casartelli died.
