With it being October, there is already concern about the weather on some passes and stages for week 3. I think some of the favorites and teams are shifting decisions in getting the pink early in case of bad weather and whoever needs to get back time, will have a hard time with canceled climbs by the final week. Though our commentators were joking today, that the authorities have said that in any case the riders will go through Stelvio, even if it's behind a snowplow. 

I don't think anyone - riders, team managers and fans - is expecting the full course to be done as planned

Not too good to see the doctor not stopping him, he looked like he was wobbling quite a lot and showed signs of a concussion..

He did indeed have concussion & abandoned today.  But questions will be asked etc etc.

Finish in Matera today, I absolutely recommend anyone who isn't familiar with that to Google it, especially if you're interested in general history it is incredibly interesting

Slowmotion pictures of Sagan slowing down and taking a foot off the pedal to take a leak. Right, great TV

That's what happening when you're a star. Paparazzi even in toilet

I would be more impressed if it was Kim Jong-un instead.

Almeida stopping on the side of the road to change his radio stuff and McNulty hitting him straight in the back. That could have ended up worse.

Arnaud Demare manages to get up a tough climb in the last 2km for a great sprint win.

I guess the mafia is controlling GPS signals and 4G networks too.

according to some Italian politicians, in such case it would work perfectly, better than a Swiss chronograph...

Wow that pure domination of Demare in this sprint  

 

I mean, I've seen clear sprint wins, but this was just humiliating for everyone else
