Wait - have those wafers been upgraded to chocolate wafers now (or maybe those pink ones?) Or is it all the sugar in the communion wine?

Did Daniele Colli score 10 points in the game as last rider home? Lindeman was last home, Colli was a DNF (with a shocking injury...)
Tinkoff twitter says dislocated shoulder
Contador CAT scans reveal, 'slight instability of left shoulder joint as compared with the right. The rider experienced slight pain.'.
That's a PR understatement of the year. He couldn't move his left arm, flatly refused to put on the pink jersey. It will be a miracle he starts tomorrow, if he does he will severely compromised and his nearest rivals will pounce to take an advantage.
Top 20:

Contador having difficulty moving his arm on the podium after being brought down in that crash!
Contador not looking great.
Nasty crash before the finish, hope they are all ok!
1,3,5,7,8,11
135678 and 10. Without Pelucci that may not be enough!
Got 7 in the top 10. Not sure what happened to Hofland and Bole though!
Hofland 11th, u defo smashed todays stage!
Yes and Bole 15 so all 9 scored and Matthews was lower than all of them so I made the right decision to get rid of him. Couple of sprint stages left and then I'll have about 30 transfers for the TT and mountains. More stage hunting. But I fear no Pelucci might cost me the win as I'm sure there are other people with the same idea!!
Didn't have Pelucci but got most of the rest!
Got all the sprinters! Let's go!
Yep, Cocked up stage 4, pretty much gave up yesterday and I am sprint heavy today.

Hofland
Greipel

Ive given up on this comp already. Was 1st overall last year at this point. 947th this year.
Its a different game this year with the new transfer rules. I think you've got to practically ignore some stages now and accept a miserable ranking on them if you want to have any semblance of being able to make changes in the late second / third week. I'm trying to hold as many transfers as possible this week in the hope of later gains.
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha! 
Actually, that's not that funny.. 
I'm at 763rd... TER's at 66th... I don't see the calamity in that!... 
Dont like how many sprinters people have

P.S. it's stage 6 today backflip
So made my first 2 transfers of the competition for this stage.
Swapped out 2 sprinters for 2 sprinters. Which means that Gerrans and Lobato will probably finish 1,2 now.
Prob should of kept them in for 2moros stage any ways, but wanted to do something with my team!
