This Tour seems to keep dishing up ill timed mishaps for the GC contenders. Some have lost over a minute in their bad luck's bad timing. Jakob Fulgsang (Astana) was a little more fortunate than others to have his late mechanical happen with another twenty kilometers to race. While he will have to expend more energy than his main rivals, he will be able to rejoin the race without the risk of losing any time on the day.
