That crash must have been right near the front to take out so many top guys. That's especially unusual. What a disappointing stage 1: no Cav, Sagan, Goss, Greipel and Contador goes down as well.
greipel tried to squeeze through a gap and took out the guy to his right, which caused a chain reaction. Greipel made it through but probably messed up his derailleur or something.
hopefully Contador wasn't too hurt. Tony Martin apparently broke his collarbone...
and apparently Kittel didn't know about the change in finishline and the subsequent change back

If I am not wrong, the third place Finisher is just 19 years old (or it is his brother who is 24).
I was shouting to the TV trying to help Kristoff, well second is not bad.
yes, the guy is only 19
Kristoff looked very good. As a better Classics rider, Kristoff will be there when Kittel and the others won't be there

I was disappointed until I saw the results. Two of my "filler" riders on my fantasy team squeaked into the top 5. Hell yeah.

Kittel: "I'm speechless, it's unbelievable. I'm so happy. This is absolutely, by far, the greatest day in my whole life. A big thank you to everyone."
Dude might want to tone that down a bit.
may want to apply the second line to yourself first ;)
sorry, but there's nothing hell yeah about today's stage.
