Not anymore: he crashed twiceDenisMenchov said:Mollema IS a favourite.
Dekker_Tifosi said:Ok.. we should really keep up an injury/out list of top 10 gc contenders.
VDB, Brajkovic out, some other top 10 contenders are already behind in time, some favorites like Contador, Rodriguez, Quintana, Mollema all had falls already.
I wonder what the first mt stage will deliver.. Froome had a fall in the neutralization of stage 1, but other then that ofcourse no bad luck for him personally, although Sky already had their share.
Parrulo said:Quintana crashed 3 times today and hurt his knee. Costa also crashed with cavendish and a few others with about 30k to go and hit his right knee pretty hard again.
His diary today looked fairly pessimist i must say.![]()

classicomano said:I cant remember the last time any Dutch GC rider got to the first mountain stage in the Tour without serious injuries, so tomorrow will be brutal.
DenisMenchov said:Belkin was surprisingly good today, hope they can repeat that performance and keep Mollema safe and sound.
Dekker_Tifosi said:Then again they were weak in the TTT. Still not sure of the strength of them. Uphill Mollema will only have Ten Dam and maybe Gesink.
Miburo said:But what Froome did didn't have much purpose. Porte was in front of him so he was safe for the descend.
It shows you that Froome was afraid for the descend. What saxo does is what each GC team does.
Wigwan said:What? Just saw that Greipel is the most combative rider of the day
So combative... wheel suck to the last 200m. They could at least have given it to Mate who's the only one who tried something or Tuft who pulled the peleton for like 100km.

when I'll see Teklehaimanot or Berhane in the yellow jersey I'll agree with that.
Impey is white-caucasic...
Cimber said:Slippery road you are taking there. So being African is a matter of colour? Does that also mean non white-caucasic cant be real Europeans?
Right it's the year 2013 and despite the fact you were born and grew up in the continent of Africa your not African because your ethnicity says otherwise.pastronef said:concerning "first african to wear yellow jersey" and all...

Personally I'm still waiting for an Apache Indian to claim the first tour stage for North America. I just don't think inuits have it in them.
pastronef said:no, don't want to take the slippery road. I just say his ancestors are not african. more like commonwealth
anyway, kudos to him and greenedge, my post did not want to take anything away from him and the great time he's having
