Give me a break, he just crashed for crying out loud. He's not getting any advantage over the guys in the peloton by using the cars in chasing back on.

Anyway, Nibs back in it!

But is he not getting a advantage over the other guys who crashed, but did not get a car ride?

 

[jaylew]

What, 40-50 left?

 

[thrawn]

First time in the last few laps that the climb has been ridden at a high pace.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Cancellara's bike has a motor and Nibali's has a teleporter.

 

[ILovecycling]

Colombia shows everyone how to ride a bike race

 

[Afrank]

How many others crashed and didnt get towed back on by a car? While Italy drove it at the front, cheating is cheating, much as I like him he should be dq.

I don't have a problem with a rider using cars to get back on if it's after a crash, not with Nibali and wouldn't have had a problem with other crash victims doing it.

If their doing it after getting dropped, then I agree. But a crash is different.

 

[ILovecycling]

Where is Berto?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Chapeau Bartosz

 

[meat puppet]

huzarski man of the day :salut:

 

[Flamin]

The Spaniards better do something very soon. Seriously, wtf.

 

[Ferminal]

He crashed. This is not track cycling where they start over after a crash.

 

[wirral]

Static live updates screwed for me since lap 4.

Back now, but for how long?

He wasn't just following the cars, he got a full on 60kph sticky bottle for an age! cheating is cheating, and that was as bad as it gets.

 

[rainman]

Purito snug as a bug about p10 Spain are trolling this.

 

[brilleaben]

Reduced bunch sprint ftw, where's Meersman?

 

[Netserk]

Bravissimo Nibbles!

 

[painai]

wonder who is going to attack first?

 

[trevim]

I wonder how much energy Rui Costa expended to be at the front the entire race without a single team mate to help him. Maybe some of the Movistar riders gave him a hand.

 

[michaeldaddow]

Eddy Boss looking strong, got to be a favourite now. Betancur is protected and has a mate on the front, come on son, I knew he had something in him.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador dropped.

Staying on your wheels is part of racing. That was blatant cheating by Nibali.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Pieter Weening for the win.

 

[The Hitch]

Contador dropped. Very poor from him again.

 

[thrawn]

Contador dropped apparently.
