A long stage finishing with a monster climb.
Wonder if Andy will show his hand yet, or just hang with the rest ?

Many stars didn't do well.
One thing that was good to see was that the Belkin lads still did well.
So, what can Andy do now ?

Well, at least he had a good rationale for the slump. Fractured pelvis is no laughing matter, far bigger deal than a clavicle.

I guess it depends on the extent of pelvic fracture. It's one of those potential impotence inducing orthopedic injuries.MichaelB wrote:Yeah, Geraint shows how much a fractured pelvis affects you ...

Even Gesink has showed more ticker after what was a severe femur fracture.
Aside from that, he's still there, but IF he can do anything, it remains to be seen .....
