I don't thing I have seen such narrow roads on flat stages before! With everyone trying to stay at or get to the front of the peloton there just isn't enough road. Already a few had been off into the ditches, fortunately for Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Victor Campenaerts (NTT Pro Cycling) they were both able to remain upright despite the soft mud and grass just off of the asphalt. Not only is fitness a by-product of hours and hours on the bike, but so is being completely one with the machine.
