Climb time estimates from twitter:
Astana bus steps:
2105 Froome 0.75s
2007 Vino 0.79s
2009 Armstrong 0.93s
2009 Contador 0.98s
2014 Nibali 1.10s
He's beating the times of known dopers there
Oh not this sh*te again
The Astana bus currently in use is a kneeling bus.
You're not comparing like for like.
We need to also remember that after some lobbying by ASO that the UCI changed the ruling so that all team buses must be lowered. The change was bought in following Orica getting tangled up on the finish line in Corsica.0 -

Kirby was actually saying "the first black African" not just the first African.0 -

Froome was born in Africa to British parents so I'd think you could class him as non african. I think it is pretty obvious what both commentators where inferring that a an african black man is the first holder of a major jersey. To argue that Froome is the first is just silly and missing the point of what has been achieved today.0 -

Yup. Confirmed.0 -
Wow if Froome went in there all 9inch guns blazing them he is a complete and utter dickhead. I hope Nibali told him how they deal with that sort of thing in Sicily.
Let's see what they say about it after so we have the facts.

I guess you're just looking for a reaction? 'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0 -
Can anyone please confirm that the BBC's Matt Slater is really a journalist of some description and knows the difference between a rear mech and a front mech and cycling in general ???? Just sayin like.

Poor old Daryl Impey. He only wore the yellow.0 -

Could you elaborate??0 -
less than 25 mph average for 119 miles - training ride?0

What's all this about Nibali blowing his Pinot and launching a bidon at Froome? He's only tranquilo when he's winning?...a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

So does this mean no yellow Jersey until the end of the stage tomorrow?0

Surely Froome's back in it?0

In theory Froome should start with it, hopefully he'll have the grace to refuse and ASO won't force himSo does this mean no yellow Jersey until the end of the stage tomorrow?0 -
EQS doctor on Martin:"Unfortunately, the collarbone is a lateral fracture," Team Doctor Helge Riepenhof said. "The collarbone is in lots of pieces, so it was a major impact. One of the pieces came through the skin, which means it's an open fracture. Therefore, even if it was Tony's wish to start tomorrow, I have to say he is not allowed to. Riders always want to race. Tony especially. He's shown in the last years that even with broken bones that he will race if possible. But this is a medical situation where this is impossible. He needs surgery straight away, and that is why we are going to the hospital now. We will fix the collarbone there. He is already on antibiotics. It's a serious injury, and that is why we can't risk anything and why he cannot be at the start tomorrow."0

A bit harsh from the tour website:
20:06
Tony Martin gives up
Involved in a crash in the last 400 metres of the 6th stage in Le Havre, yellow jersey holder Tony Martin was forced out of the Tour de France with a brken collarbone, his Etixx Quick Step team said.
The German rider, who seized the Tour de France lead in Cambrai, blamed hard cluck for the fall.
”I was just unlucky. I can't really remember how it happened. I touched the wheel of the rider ahead of me. It's the Tour, luck and bad luck are close together,” he said.
Martin crashed when he touched the wheel of Frnehcman Bryan Coquard and fell over France's Warren Barguil and the past two Tour winners, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Fromme, who are all unhurt.
The yellow jersey is changing hands for the fifth time since the start in Utrecht.
Note how it says at the end the jersey is changing hand but doesn't state who to or how.0 -

Robbie Hunter most feel that was a bit harsh too...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I don't know why this question has arisen again but the prick should know something by now.Can anyone please confirm that the BBC's Matt Slater is really a journalist of some description and knows the difference between a rear mech and a front mech and cycling in general ???? Just sayin like.
He has spent plenty of time in MELLOW JOHNNY'S BIKE SHOP in Austin Texas drinking coffee and lapping up anything else that is fed to him.
This question was resolved some years ago before the twitter or faceboobs and people were leaving (or being thrown out of) the BBC 606 Forums for daring to suggest he knew nothing about cycle racing.
Never seen anything that would confirm he had any knowledge of the subject since.Organiser, National Championship 50 mile Time Trial 19720
