Cyan Uijtdebroeck

Is Uijtdebroecks named after an Irish king...or a printer ink cartridge?

Enough is enough, cut the BS!

“The goal for me is to try and get to the Tour in the best shape possible this year,” - Froome

Froomedawg down, Froomedawg down. Hope he didn't hurt himself too much.

Big sigh of relief by Taxus, since now each bad performance for the rest of the season by Froome, he can trace back to this crash and keep the hope alive for a breakthrough in 2025.

 

[Froome]

Another crash. I hope he is fine, enough of crashes.

Fortunately Chris Froome did finish today's stage.
With the assistance of two team mates he rolled in over three-and-a-half minutes behind the main bunch.
He was flexing and checking his wrist after his fall. Hopefully there is no fracture.

Of couse, he would have been hand to hand with Vingegaard, Poggi, Ayuso, Remco, and Roglic at le Tour, but now no way...

 

[Taxus4a]

Looking at the speed was the crash, about 70 km/h, and how destroyed was his saddle, it is a miracle he hasnt anything important, but of course he will not pass a good night...

 

[tonymikejoe]

Israel have confirmed Chris Froome's x-ray did not show any evidence of a wrist fracture and he is due to start today's stage.

Great news for Froome fans globally

Indeed. I think they both are breathing a sigh of relief.

While a toddler I always thought a malfunctioning object could be somehow repaired by a random accident of the same kind that ruined it. No human skills or knowledge of its inner workings were needed, just some magic trick.

Humpty Dumpty ?

Perhaps the crash has jolted Dawg's hip back into it's 2018 place and he's about to drop everyone. Like Homer Simpson when they remove that crayon from his brain.

 

[tonymikejoe]

With 26.8 km to go of today's stage Chris Froome has not been jettisoned.
Yes, he is at the rear of the peloton, where the cameras have just captured him shedding a rain jacket.
Maybe preparing himself for an assault on the finish?

If this doesn't qualify him to go to the tour in a protected role I don't know what does...

But beat by Cavendish meaning Froome only has a 2” lead over him now.

Froome told me he will be fighting till the end, no matter what the wrist hurts, no matter what the team need to win this battle to his compatriot and ex team mate.
Seriously, he will be fighteen for an stage this Tirreno IMO. If there is good weather, a day like today no.

I was joking 😊, I said seriously later.
The day began with a setback for Team Visma | Lease a Bike. Robert Gesink did not appear at the start after his crash in stage two yesterday.

If Gesink didnt start, and he had apparently a better Crash than Froome...It is logical to think that Froome lose time. Long stage with cold and rain not the best for his revovery. I hope he can revolver today and show something at the end of the race, but what a pity It looks complicated. This race was the first in a long time he didnt have really to work, so he miss a good oportunity, so bad luck! Today was a good day for him to be on the break, but...
