The Hitch said: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?
nilfen said:Broken frame and mud in gear?! Is he riding on second-hand gear??

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?!Parrulo said: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

Miburo said: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?
