I had a little fun with this title. How many times have you been asked, "do you have a minute?" Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) had the answer... I have a minute - on the chasers behind. As Konrad went under the 10 kilometer banner he had slowly grown his advantage on the duo chasing from behind. Another seven guys were almost two minutes behind and losing seconds by the kilometer. It was sure looking like his team was going to get another stage victory despite their sprinter having had to leave the Tour. As before, this victory came on the same day that Peter Sagan made an announcement about his form. Now we know just what was wrong with the seven time winner of the Maillot Vert. His knee was infected having had his chain ring slice into his knee when he was taken out by Caleb Ewan's crash in the early days of the this Tour.
