What's the deal if Froome gets pushed off his bike etc?
Fair dinkum or stage struck from history?
On a separate note Piti trying to keep Nibbles in for attacking froome up the huez... crafty Spaniards.It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.0 -
Who's is the Bertie group? Saw Porte and J rod not sure on the other 2?
Pinot and Hejsedal.
Ta0 -
Valverde obviously needs to attack soon.
Which won't happen and Porte will catch them as Pinot pace his group to get polka points, a jersey he won't get anyway,,0 -
How long can they keep tearing chunks out of each other for? Going to be some finish on the Alpe0

So it turns out this Tour does have a big 4 after all. Just not the one advertised."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Hinault appears from nowhere, goes Bruce Lee on the perpetrator and the peleton watch in admiration, just wishing that they were that cool0 -

Because a trio of Nibali, Qintana and Valverde ahead of him would have been a nightmare.
Whereas he was happy to leave Valverde and Quintana to it? I think he was just napping when Quintana went and resolved to follow the next wheel."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'"

They never got more than 10". Porte kept it pegged beuatifully. And now it's all immaterial anyway.
That was one of the best scraps in this Tour. Both guys well over the line. Fab....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -
Riis absolutely ridicules Froome's tactical sense.
Whether Riis is right or wrong it's important to remember that he's a massive bellend.0 -

This.
I hope he's on his way down there right now."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'"

I would think the stage would stand but suspect the others would wait. It's happened in the past that spectators have taken down leading riders albeit not deliberately (Armstrong springs to mind, I think Ullrich waited and Armstrong then attacked him - could have made that up though!)0 -

That it was idiotic that Froome left his teammates behind him right before the descent. No need for him to follow Nibali.0 -

I remember that was more thinking this will be more spiteful than that incident. Iirc LA waited did he not?It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.0 -

Short, saw-tooth mountain stages are the way to go for exciting racing in this era.0

Are Team Sky using their media manipulation to reform the race during ad breaks? It was all broken up - I went to get a coffee during the adverts - and suddenly G, Porte, Poels, Froome and even Roche at the back0

No. Armstrong was bright down when his handlebars got caught in a muster musette held by a kid. Ulrich waitedTeam My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -
I wonder if they have already carved in Bak's name on one of the signs in the hairpin turns.0

I was indeed wrong. As usual.

I am so confused. The cat jumped on me after being out in the rain. I had to get a towel and give him some dinner and now it's all back together but Pinot and Ryder are now in front... :?: :?Correlation is not causation.0 -

Sort of. No harm in making a point and ditching nibali when you know porte et al will catch up.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0
