I think the take home message is that this year's race is worse in terms of attrition.
As suspected, stage 9 has had after-effects.
Looking at just this year:
Stages 9 and 11 contained more than half of all withdrawals
Most of this week's withdrawals have been abandonments (I really don't blame them).
Three teams are down to 50% or less of their starting squads.
You can see the disaster happening to Arkea Samsic and stage 12 being very bad to Team Bike Exchange.
