woodburn said:So much doom and gloom on this thread. Rest day tomorrow. Let's see what happens before declaring the Tour over.
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

trevim said: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?!
Publicus said:I just hope there is no major damage to Contador. The Vuelta should give us the showdown that everyone wanted (Froome v. Contador) that we aren't getting this year.

Machado still riding. Awesome.
