    So was it mechanical followed by attack or attack followed by mechanical

    Froome puts hand up and Aru thinks it's the start flag. :oops:

    Looks like the others aren't riding with Aru because of Froome's mechanical.

    No class Fabio. No class.

    Pretty open and shut, Aru saw the hand up and immediately attacked.

    FR commentators are giving Aru what for, I can tell you

    He's back on.

    And Aru totally attacked when he saw Froome had a problem.

    Cycling's unwritten rules are still marvellous, aren't they? Slightly hilarious the way Aru went though.

    As I have made it abundantly clear :P , I'm no fan of Fenton

    But that was fooking out of order

    Clear as day, not even a hint of ambiguity to it. Aru lacks any class

    Eh? Laurent Jalabert first said he didn’t see Froome. Then when the slow-motion disproved that, he claimed that Froome’s hand being up didn’t mean he would imminently stop. Then when Froome fiddled with his computer (presumably to get the power screen) he disparagingly asked what Froome was doing there. Jalabert is just utterly shameless.

    Jalabert was shown to be massively prejudiced against froome the other year and then scurried off when Matt Rendell asked him about his own dodgy past. Less classy than Aru

    That makes Froome and Aru about even then.

    Jalabert is about as classy as Aru.
