Adam Yates looks to have been dropped, having run out of team-mates. That ended up being the problem for twin brother Simon in the Giro, but Le Tour is much, much harder, with stronger teams.
Adrian Gentry emails in: “What is the largest number of riders that can be eliminated on the time difference from the leader? You mentioned the speed of the stage is bad news for Cav and Co but how many riders can fall victim to a cut off?”
If it’s over 20 percent of the field, then a pass is given. There were 176 riders and 11 have dropped out, I believe, which makes 165. That means 33 in the autobus.
