Why the hell didn't he grab a teammate bike instead of changing his tire?

he was thinking that they would wait for him

 

[User Guide]

Rolland taking a turn wtf ? something personal with piti?

 

[Ramira]

This is quite indicative of what Sky thinks of the Valverde threat. They rode to drop him in the Vuelta, but I don't think they're willing to take the aggro as they're not scared of him anymore.

 

[Scott SoCal]

Waiting for the second group.

Payback is gonna be fun to watch.

Movistar hoping for power in numbers, team up with Argos.

 

[Pippo_San]

Finally some common sense in Belkin. NOW PUSH ON THOSE PEDALS! Trash the entire Vomistar!!!

 

[Ferminal]

what's up with the sudden belkin ******baggery?

It's only Vomistar.

With a 3'25" gap, I don't think they need to worry at all.

Exactly, belkin will pay this cash.

Molemma and ten dam will eventually collapse anyways.

Froome is laughing all the way to Paris.

 

[Scott SoCal]

I really resent Belkin putting me in a position to root for Valverde.

 

[Kender]

He'd have still lost the peloton group, and would be an extra team mate down

 

[Pulpstar]

Carrot tops will help out the chase now.

Movistar fail - A teammate should have sacced a bike
Belkin - Not rly cool to ride there

 

[Hugo87]

Belkin are new *****es of Sky, no teammates no problem for Froome, they have someone to do the dirty job.

its looks like cyclingnews live are reading the forum

Valverde made a huge mistake by not taking a teammate's bike. He could have quickly got back up to the group but wasted time by changing his rear wheel. '

Right now, I think they earned the right to throw a bottle though the Belkin car window.

Sky has a history of not pushing GC contender punctures.

Froome is laughing all the way to Paris.

Froome's watching this with a grin on his face, letting the rest fight for 2nd.

 

[LaFleur]

So... Froome's closest threat is now someone who said that he will only wheelsuck? Oh we're gonna have so much excitement....

 

[Publicus]

Anyone understand what the hell Rolland is doing?

 

[Miburo]

This is perfect for Froome, he'll only look at Contador now.

I don't think Contador likes this, he would have passed valverde in GC eventually.

 

[Pulpstar]

This is annoying, particularly when you've back Piti each way !

 

[Ferminal]

Anyone understand what the hell Rolland is doing?

No camera moto at the back of the front group.

 

[bylbyl]

this is what cycling is all about -- if everyone wait for everyone all the time it would be boring

now it's fun
