Thirty-six seconds is a lot of time to lose in a 10km ITT - but it is uphill.
Kwiatkowski had a suffering stage looking completely spent at the finish. The cold got him or he started out ill?”

Obviously I've seen far worse crashes, but I think the positioning of the camera and the fact the mike picked up the clattering of the bike hitting the Tarmac so clearly somehow made that one more painful to watch. I rewatched it a few times to try to figure out what went wrong and found myself flinching every time.
I think Gallopan will be out of the yellow tomorrow but a great effort by him and a really exciting stage. Kwia looked absolutely knackered at the end.
