Not surprisingly Landa was taken away by ambulance. Hopefully he'll be relatively fine, this made the stage go from bad because insanely boring to worse. 

 

Also bad for the race in general of course, one of the few always attacking GC riders.

Sivakov is out too after his fall. Boy, who would have expected this kind of drama when having a stage where it's totally flat and basically completely straight for 160km after which the well-rested and nearly sleeping peloton has to go through a technical finale towards a bunch sprint !

Turning into a last man standing Giro, like last year.

Qhubeka manager Aart Vierhouten was doing a good job this Giro d'Italia, working with Nizzolo to come up with the helmet joke. Bit of an issue yesterday though...whoops (everyone involved is doing a lot better than the car, luckily).

Oi, Vlasov having trouble getting his coat on in the cold & wet. Took him about five minutes.

 

Pieter Serry  knocked down by Bike Exchange car!  Someone is going to be out of a job.

How disgusting! Serry was thrown out of a car! Poor...

Wow, what an idiot....apparently Matt White is not the one driving usually, so I'm curious who is.

Ah, Gene Bates apparently. I think he'll be heading home tomorrow.
