is this going to be one of those “who the heck knows who is telling who what to do about what” moments
Dafuq is going on?!
would like to see the second crash replay
Two crashes, don’t know what happened in the second.
Turned the tv off like 2 minutes before this happened. FUCK.
Mathews is looking sick at the back. Can’t even keep up with the neutralized pace.
That crash was mental, but time to get back to the real Tour, by which I mean bashing Phil and Paul. Did you see when that guy got a puncture earlier - HE DIDN’T EVEN PANIC! I hear that’s important when getting a wheel change.
"let that tunic slip away from his shoulders… "
Race neutralised = Enough time to ride to 7-11 in my moonboot to buy a Maxibon.
Saw that as well, mentioned it to my wife and she jokingly said, it showed how much battery life was left in their motors.
That made me laugh.
perhaps that chap got his wheel caught in one of those “death valleys” P&P kept goin on about?
Great stage. Froome had a blinder. Not great to take yellow so soon I guess but he’s by far the most impressive of the ‘big four’ so far
Cancellara out - re-breaking the vertebrae from E3, Gerrans out, Tom Dumoulin out, Kozontchuk out and Bonnet out.
“Others hit the ground hard, including Daniel Oss (BMC Racing), Daniel Teklehaimanot (MTN-Qhubeka), Johan Van Summeren (Ag2r-La Mondiale), and Greg Henderson (Lotto-Soudal). Laurens Ten Dam (Lotto-JumboNL) suffered a dislocated shoulder, but still managed to finish the stage.”
And Astana suspended from MPCC.
And Steph will be delighted to know that others share her frustrations at #paulandphil
You can see Fabu’s bike launch in this shot:

lol
I’ve on my second strike for complaining about P&P, one more and I’m not allowed to comment on the next stage at all. (This is a self-instituted policy).
Hamish - the announcers get a huge race book and it includes a ton of detail on the local scenery. the race organisers tie the coverage in with this detail. this is mainly because the biggest audience for cycling in france isnt sports fans.
froome rode well, but it really does look like he is riding by computer rather than ‘sensations’. if it wasnt for the wires in his ear id swear he was getting instructions via garmin/srm screen.
James - wheres the image commentary?
Pfft… PhD is submitted dude. No time for that anymore.
No shit. He’s the most boring rider at Sky, which by default makes him the most boring rider in the world. chrisfroomelookingatstems.tumblr.com
Only an MA! INSITES COMING SOON ONCE I HEAR FROM MY SOURCES IN FRANCE
Wait, what does this even mean? In what way did he “ride by computer” up the Moo da Hwee? Dude was faster up there than every other rider bar Rodriguez.
Also, Cancellara finished the stage with a broken back, Impey with a busted collarbone, Ten Dam with a dislocated shoulder, meanwhile over on Channel 7 some brat tennis player was throwing his toys out of the pram because the umpire told him not to swear. 'Twas an interesting contrast.
