I can find reports online, but I'm mostly interested in discussing what others here have watched, and their opinions.

Turns out Froome had damaged his heart in the crash, ripping the protective sac, normally found in car crash victims.

Shame. In Uk this year it's free to air. Major terrestrial TV channel ITV has the rights for years but like the Tour, this is their final year. Bastards at Discovery/TNT have it fully next year behind the £30 a month paywall. So I'm enjoying it while I can. Not surprised it's not easily available in the States, it's a bit of an ugly duckling of a race. Beloved by local racing fans as only chance to see heroes up close, but pretty much ignored by BBC and newspapers as all cycling is in UK, now lumped in with Woke issues no doubt... I'll keep an eye on it along with the Vuelta and gsee Geraint Thomas's send off. He was showing off his INEOS Pinarello earlier btw! I'll try and find a link.

Jesus. When he crashes he does it right.

Yeah, that takes some talent in a bike race. Pericardial rupture is a very serious high-energy injury, and you have to wonder what else got damaged? Lots of pretty important stuff in the neighborhood — including the myocardium, coronary arteries, and pulmonary artery and ascending aorta. Hope he recovers.
