Or as Lance used to call it, "New blood day !"
From the brief coverage I've seen, it looks like Kittel is having a good time.

Race leader Tom Dumoulin received a pizza as he went to sign on. Unclear if he ate it there and then or folded it up and stuffed it into his jersey.

Who the heck is Steven Kruijswijk (Ned) Team LottoNl-Jumbo? And do you pronounce his last name?

After the uphill TT on Sunday he's leading by over 2 minutes. Nibali had a bad day and lost over two minutes.

He'll make that up easily beside the team car.

He's already got a cover story worked out in case he gets caught.

Was he just not paying attention? The clip I found doesn't show what led up to the crash.
