    I am sorry but this is bike racing as I remember it; this is just mental.
    Doesn't suit Froome obviously, but who gives this is what every tour should do.

    Two words : Riders. Union.

    erm.....
    The guy organised blood transfusions in unsterilised hotel rooms for his team-mates and now he's concerned about rider safety? :lol:

    Wow so many Nibali haters in the press and on here. Look at him now. What a certified champion.

    He's on fire at the moment to be fair.

    And many more to go I reckon...

    With a load of rubbish about how Froome can't cope with cobbles and how unfair it was to ride them and how unfair it was to ride in bad weather conditions etc...... At the end of the day, if you can't ride a bike in bad weather, you don't deserve to win such a demanding race!

    I don't think anybody was saying they shouldn't ride in bad weather...

    I wouldn't bother Salsiccia. This place has rapidly lost the ability recently to be a place where any sensible discussion can happen and where people can discuss things in an adult manner. I know this happens every year during the Tour but it's been particularly marked this year.
    Correlation is not causation.
