Ugh that was a nasty little crash - Vermaerke got a wheel overlapped, thrown to the ground so hard his bike bounced across the road. He was up but nursing his collar bone. Get well soon!
I had big hopes for yesterday's stage 7 with Teuns in the break and then Vingegaard almost sprinting clear. UAE are wicked aggressive about keeping that jersey though. Not much more hopeful today with Vlasov looking off but now he's come down on his face in that crash? Sagan was held up but I think he got off easier then Matthews
