Honestly i am an huge Nibali fan but him winning the Tour with both Froome and Contador crashing out would put a big * next to his win.

I know crashing out is part of the race but if this frame snapping story is true than Contador is not to blame for his crash this is really just a freak accident

How the **** did he lose 4 minutes??? You crash, you're down for 30 -40 seconds maybe. Even people who were too injured to continue the Tour have usually got back up quicker than that.

Then what happens the next 3 minutes. He just stood there?

also a big bleeding wound on his knee, they needed to suit up.

But aint pretty for Specialized, if one of there frames failed.

// 3 mins atm. to peloton..

If Contador somehow on a mysterious way manages to come back and lose zero time there's still the aftereffects of the crash.

This is over. Is there any other race going on? Austria finished right?

Not liking either of them, watching the double standards between Froome/Contador supporters on here is better watching than half the stages of your average TdF.

Grabs popcorn...

I will give my bike to Contador in the next Tour, it hasn't broken yet and has been going for some years now. Seriously, if this is true, what kind of bikes are they using?!

Who the f*ck is Matt Keenan?

An Australian cycling journalist. He is also, IMHO, a very good commentator. He was on a feed used by British ITV4 the year that Wiggins rode the Vuelta, but sadly I have never heard him since as ITV4 stick with the 2 old codgers.

When Froome crashed i felt sad.
