[thirteen]

lots of very unhappy bunnies...

wtf happened?

(watching in dutch -- which i don't understand)

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lottery racing; big gaps, non due to physical capabilities.

Even guys staying on the front got caught out through no fault of their own.

Camera just shows Cav going down without any indication someone caused him to fall. Need a helicopter angle...which I don't think they have.

 

[Dead Star]

So that's three major crashes he's had this year? (Giro, Tour, here). That's one beaten up rider this season.

Definitely more than that but can't recall. I reckon he was touched from behind but difficult to see.

Do different rules apply here, 3km becomes just the final km for crashes.

i never know if the commentators know more than what i saw since i can't understand more than a couple of words

 

[Andy99]

Unfortunately there seems to be lots of fingers being pointed towards Tyler Farrar....

Lets wait to see what the riders have to say

I would like to know this because Porter was saying people were going to loose heaps of team, but then again, it is Porter we are talking about here.

There was a group who were delayed by that bridge crash?

Aye they will loose time, but the guys around Cav he was saying will loose time.

Ah typical Hugh Porter/Duffers commentary.

I thought Evans and Hushovd had killed the Curse of the Rainbow Jersey, but Cav looks to be bringing it back.

 

[gheizhwinder]

ITV have decided that Sagan didn't win the points jersey at the TdF

Website for the race is so dedicated to promoting the locations that it doesn't actually have a race results section!

I don't think 12 victories (including 6 GT stages) qualifies as a cursed season.
Especially considering Sky's priorities at the TdF.

It does but it hasnt the full results up yet and its called a flash results section.......maybe it flashed em so quickly I missed them.

[roundabout]

I guess with the crashes it might take a bit of time to get the results sorted

If I'm not mistaken, last year the results could be viewed from the "per stage" info: http://www.tourofbritain.com/_ns_race/ (click on a stage number to see all available info).
