Gravel stage not sure how I feel about this. The tour is a road race not gravel. F1 doesn't throw in a rally stage !!

The uphill sector (13?) just now was carnage. Same here about how I feel. The cynic in me says it’s been introduced to sell more gravel bikes but like the cobbles it does add a certain amount of jeopardy to the race. Don’t like to see riders off their bikes and running though.

That was a great crazy day of racing shame Jims team couldn't invest in another rider to help Tom out ( seeing they are only trying to win stages)
Hard luck Tom.

Good job it wasn’t wet, it would have been carnage. More akin to Paris-Roubaix than Le Tour. I suppose it covers all riders strength’s.

Very enjoyable stage especially when you could see through the dust.
If they want something different and exciting they could do a stage through the streets of Trafford. Lets see how they would cope with the variety of potholes on offer.

That was a bit crazy, not a fan of the gravel bits.
It must be a bugger sucking in all that dust too.

So Vlasov crashed on stage 8, went into a ditch, got back up and rode the final ~40km on a new bike and finished the stage 25th. Turns out he fractured his ankle and then withdrew before stage 9!!!
