Froome Watch, II

Another hectic stage, which I was only able to watch intermittently on my computer. I never saw Chris, but it looks like he was a victim of the wind and the crashes. Not that he was the only one. He finished in the biggest group of the day, in the company of Petacchi and Pozzato, among many others, about eight minutes behind the winner of the day. As of almost 11pm, Chris hasn't twittered yet. I'm sure that's at least partly because right after the race, everyone had to get on planes to make the move to Italy, where the Giro belongs.
Update: Tweet from the rest day: "As great as the atmosphere was in Holland with such enthusiastic and friendly people, it's a relief to be back in Italy!" And who can blame him after the last two days?
