    Sensible from Froome to not risk it on these descents.. his lead is so big he doesn't need to worry about a few seconds.

    Oh my that was close.

    If Froome gets this I think I will have to get in contact.

    Froome to smash this last section and get the haters foaming at the mouth again.

    EDIT: rain back - shame. I'm sure a true champion wouldn't want a stage win gifted by the elements.

    Would love to see that, I'm curious as to who Frenchie is going to get in contact with if he does.

    Edit: Mollema overcooks Peraud Corner...?

    Then I would say that someone more intelligent should tell him to not be so stupid!

    These guys dont have the financial luxury to approach things like this with an open mind. This has already been discussed elsewhere. He was on a for a top 10 in the Tour as a Frenchman - it would have brought him some nice pay checks. He wont be the first and last to try to continue with a bad injury.

    I think Oleg Tinkoff has spent some money on remote control clouds.

    SAxo should have swapped bikes. Unlucky, Bjarne, you called it wrong.
