Wiggins, Porte and Siutsou abandon due to cold. Sky team is now made up of 3 riders but hopefully the organizers will allow them to get back. Half of the peleton abandoned due to cold. Surprised Uran didn't actually.

I am pretty sure that would be the most useless list ever produced because apparently the stage results do not count. |

I know that they don't count Lachi, but I would like to see who is still in the race since Alakagom says that half of the peloton abandon due to cold. |

Instead of asking for the full stage result, you could have asked if anybody knows which riders are in the race still, not? |

Cue calls for the result to stand from DS' whose riders were in the break.
O hai Saxo Bank.

Few photos of the stage :
BTW, I may have exaggerated the number of riders that abandoned though, not sure yet. Seems possible though, even Valverde abandoned due to the cold he was facing.
Julian Dean broke his lef 6km in, ouch ; /

It wasn't all for nothing.
I thought I'd had a rubbish ride today when hit by the lethal 1-2 of chain snapping and balls crunching closely followed by a thorn the size of Wiggins leg embedding itself in my right foot and, while I staggered around, copping a pedal shaped indentation just above said foot as I treked up a grass verge to the "nearest" train station.
So thanks to the pro peloton for making me feel better about my misfortune, I'm sure they'll feel snow, wind rain, fog, no time gaps was all worthwhile now...

Certainly I read a number of tweets earlier saying live TV was cancelled due to climatic conditions so odds of any highlights are probably quite low.

Stupid television. They decide to put on yesterday's stage here in America. They don't tell you or anything. I didn't even know until I came on here.
Well, this race has turned out to be a bust. Without the third stage, the GC is done. Albasini wins a Mountainous climbers stage race. What a piece of crap.
Anybody know the list of notables that abandoned and are left?

That would be almost the sure bet that he will not finish
Glad that Cunego is still in the race, now he must go crazy and beat Albasini (i know this will not happen)...shite race.
