In the grupetto

Back of the packAfter stage 21142 riders remaining

Our people. The sprinters, the domestiques and the walking wounded, riding every kilometre the leaders ride — just with less applause and more math about the time cut.

142 of the 184 who left Monaco made it to Granada — the race lost a red jersey on a flat road to Xeraco, a time trial winner the morning after his win, and forty others along the way. Full stage-by-stage casualties are on each stage page.
