What sucks is that verses is not replaying this again until tonight at eight. So much action in one of the best stages of the Tour.

Maybe there’ll be more on it tomorrow because of the rest day. I think they always do some recapping.

I don’t understand why they can’t figure this out better.

I could understand the previous time with the flat stage, but missing this mountain finish inside the live coverage time was definitely an error. The ride was fast for a mountain stage and Vs should have known how long to program to get all of the stage in live.

My DVR missed the last 20 or so minutes, but fortunately I got the finish on one of the replays. Still frustating though.

They have done much better in past races. I guess I'll have to start extended the ending time by 30 minutes to an hour.

Great stage yesterday, though. Epic.

O’Grady taken to hospital but according to race doctor probably nothing broken.

The reports I read said he had multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, and other fractures. Must have been a horrific crash. Prayers for speedy recovery.

Yes, I read that later. But at least no back injury. Apparently a horrific crash on a descent while he was trying to catch up the team carrying water bottles.
