FTDF 2016 Stage 19 - Good day for Bardet

After an exceptionally crash free opening to the race this year, it/they all seemed to go down on the Stage today. Plenty of folks hit the deck, Tom Dumoulin broke some kind of wrist/hand bone thing which leaves the Rio Time Trial Froome's for the taking, but the biggest loser was Mollema, who seems to have said goodbye to a podium spot.


And you probably don't need me to tell you that Chris Froome also fell victim to the wet roads. 


He may have lost some skin and finished on G's bike, but he crossed off another day in the Yellow Jersey with a healthy margin of seconds over our new number 2, and Stage winner Romain Bardet.


Enrico 666 won the scores for today. 500 points is really quite impressive.

That bastard Vestan Pance is a little closer to Drew in the overall scores, but I imagine he isn't too pleased to see A-Yay losing time to a mechanical and to Bardet's Stage winning antics.
Stage  is the last stage that's gonna count for GC tomorrow. Expect more tussling for the lower podium step.
