PTP - Thomas falls sweepstake

If there is a sweepstake I'll take stage 2.
Total number of Thomas falls caught on camera - 9
Wee bit of fun. I'll donate 2 x 20cl sample bottles of bloody lovely expensive whisky for a sweepstake as to which stage Geraint first falls off his bike and how many times he is caught on camera crashing. Obviously it goes without saying that I / we wish him no harm and lots of success in this TdF.
Just for fun.

Looks like I'm a whisky down. PM me your details and I'll get it sent to you.0 -
Sad to hear G might be hurt, but this thread is fantastic.0
-
You gotta laugh.
Should change it now to how many times hes going to come off during the race, be suprising if is this going to be the last crash of his.0 -
Poor thread.0

lmao brilliant thread0

C'mon ... G falls off his bike more often than Ollie Reed fell off the wagon ...0 -
Can I just put my name on every stage? He seems to spend more time on the tarmac this year than in the saddle.0

I'm far from a keyboard warrior.
Have you ever watched old episodes of Fantasy Football or Roy & HG?
We''re not wishing harm to G. Just having a giggle at the fact that he always seems to be the one ending up on the ground. We took the piss out of Menchov in a similar vein.0 -
I hope he stays away from real harm and isn't injured or worse in any race but come on, have a sense of humour. Bike riders fall off, it's part of the sport and what makes them tough as fcvk so a wee giggle at yet another incident is allowed.0

I've no problem with this thread at all (I was going to claim stage 1, and have now missed a whisky), but on the stage 1 spoiler there are a couple of posts that seem to be positively gloating about Thomas crashing, posted while the poor bastard was on his way for an X-Ray.Gazzetta67 wrote:Geraint Thomas got confused as he actually had to do a "Left & Right" turn !!!!

Get F***ing over yourself eh. do you seriously think i was gloating and wished injury on the guy ? - some sportsman get tagged as being unfortunate or just get the pee took out of them. I was not the only one so go and take a flying F**k0 -

Sorry, but I won't be taking advice from someone whose first reaction to a major crash with TV pictures of riders with kit and skin torn to shreds and clutching collarbones is to crack a "joke" so old they have a copy of it in the antiquities section of the British Museum and call one of the crashed riders "the most dangerous rider in the bunch".

Strange advice from someone who flew off the handle at my original post. I'd pause for a moment of quiet self-reflection if I were you. If you've got the time (and I appreciate this could take you a while) you might also want to revisit the post I took objection to and have a little think about why it might not actually have been hilariously funny.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

No, not really. I've not been anywhere close to flying off the handle. Nor did I lead out with the old "calm down and stop taking it all so seriously".

Haha - That's funny The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
Just out of interest. Does Geraint T = the most dangerous rider in the peloton?
Is that fact or perception?
Does anybody have any stats or better still.....a graph?0 -
123oldman doesn't drink so the first bottle of whisky is back up for grabs.
Which will be the next stage that G-man gets down and durty with French tarmac?
Get it correct and some rather special Scotch is yours.
