Yeah, Cannondale up front now...headwind

OMG NO saddle for Palolini!!

Would you prefer if everyone just always waited and never raced? No way. This is great (and I hate Valverde!!)

the justification according to the commentators is that movistar had already put the hammer down when teh crash happened, and thats why they didn't wait.


ethically, this is wrong. where are the gentlemen in the peloton?

 

[Afrank]

Paolini should have rode the rest of the stage with that bike, it would be pretty epic.

 

[hfer07]

damn - a seat malfunction... I though I have seen every single mechanical

If the crash is caused by the poor road condition, this should be the case. However, if it is cyclist's own error, they should continue.

 

[Descender]

The Guardia Civil team has lots of riders in that front group. And they even have a helicopter.

 

[Afrank]

Kurt-Asle's preferred riding style.
