Overwhelmed! Joy and deception are so close in cycling, but when you keep trying sooner or later you get what you work for! Thanks!...a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -
"It's quite painful but I was okay to finish the stage. It looks okay, I'm just a bit grazed for tomorrow," Froome said on French television. I'm not actually too sure what happened on the descent. I think there was a bit of a hole in the road and I lost my front wheel," he said, talking about is injuries. It's more my hip, elbow and my shoulder. Most of all I want to thank the other riders for neutralising the race. That's big sportsmanship from them."Contador is the Greatest0

Injury on the hip always looks extra painful to me.

Like TA stage where Contador created a memory for the fans this climb tomorrow has a steep part pretty early which will make a lot of the domestiques go out the back door early.
Two HC in succession also after a hard course, albeit fairly short. Should create some great viewing.

I do , especially the pictures (although Contadors blue chest hairs are weird in that one.
It's OK to sat Froome is the least liked rider in the peloton, not OK to point out when the opposite seems to be the case.
Anyway, should be a good weekends of racing.0 -

Should be interesting. Apparently the tour de Suisse came to this area in 1970 and the tour de l'avenir in 2006 but the final climb has never been used as a summit finish. Either it's not a great finish or they've. Found a new jem. Looks good on paper.0 -
Sounds like that 28% part isn't included today.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0

No part of 28 % on the final climb. This is from the official communiqué last night“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Pretty sure it's real, but it just the last 3-400m and they don't do that bit.
It'll be interesting if someones got a gap at the top of the first HC and have to do a crazy quick decent before the last climb.0 -

I gather that Bernard Thevenet in L'equipe suggested that AC should attack on that descent0 -
good stage yesterday,
Don't think Westra meant it but moved out for Jan. Great breakaway, I love when they pretty much have a track sprint.
Froome thanks Contador at the end of the stage, probably for not attacking on the last steep part. Big class from Bert, goes up in my estimation.
Contador and froome spin so well, it's amazing to watch, I think they sometimes look like they are about to spin out the gear.0 -

100km to race and 14 have about 4.30. Best placed is Westra at 6mins or so.
Cant believe I am likely to miss almost all the stage live today. Hope its a cracker and I can watch the full rerun of last 30km.
Glad that 28% section is out - too selective and stops attacks earlier...most know that if you arrive a bloc at the bottom of that section then you will be passed before the end. TA stage Contador won was a good example of that.Contador is the Greatest0
