Amazing picture with maillots jaune and arc-en-ciel together but in sad cicrumstances0 -
he goes to barge the rider alongside, misess, so goes again bu too heavily, the other guys fall and martin clips a wheel or something. I don't see anything "accidental" about it.

another close look and it seems his FW overlaps the rear of the rider in front.0 -
Silly Silly crash, Martin at fault I'd say, great handling by Froome to stay up. Hopefully Nibali is ok and it doesn't dent him for the mountains. Good win Stybar.0

Not a great race for the best TT riders in the world. Martin, Cancellara and Dumoulin all gone down.
Wiggins not even selected

Barge is harsh, he gets tangled up in the lampre riders wheel (great skillz from that guy to stay up!)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

That's not deliberate at all, something clearly knocks him off balance. He hits the wheel of the Europcar rider in front (you can see Coquard? compensating for it) and then has to shift his weight which takes him to the right and into the guy beside him.he goes to barge the rider alongside, misess, so goes again bu too heavily, the other guys fall and martin clips a wheel or something.

Watch it frame by frame. He doesn't get tangled up in the Lampre rider's wheel, just the Lmapre rider."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Strange scenes. Froome rode past Sky bus to Astana, 7 buses up, and went in to speak to Nibali. Luke Rowe was with him. #TDF2015We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Not sure what your point is. He tries to move out but can't because the lampre rider/'s bike is in the way. Weight is too far to the right - down
He doesnt check behind him is his mistakeWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

yeah he touches the rear wheel of the Europcar guy (Coquard?), then swerves to the right and gets all caught up with the others.
Silly crash really.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -

Who does Froome think he is? Tyler Farrar?0 -
Looked to me maybe Martin wasn't paying attention when the rider in front stood up, wheel comes back from rider in front, Martin takes evasive action and ends up swerving into the rider to his side. I think it looks like he tries to barge him because he is expecting contact, it doesn't come and that unbalances him so he ends up going right again which is where the contact comes. All speculation but that's what it looks like to me.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

My man styby giving team goat something to shout about.
I can't imagine the prospect of Chris Froome wanting "a word" is enormously intimidating. That would probably be the case for any of the major GC riders these days except Quintana and then only because he looks like he should be spouting rainwater from a Gothic cathedral"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

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
