This...

No doubt, that first stage was total chaos coming into the end, and while the organizers did the best they could under some very pressure packed circumstances, so did the riders, as they tried to come to grips with all of the changes while they were fast on the fly. Just for guts alone, King should have been able to go on, at least for another stage to see if he improved.

Caught his very emotional interview this morning and it was tough to watch. He's got my respect...
