Fight.The.Power said:Yeh I heard that. My technical knowledge is zero though. Surely if this is a possibility it is a massive issue ??
xanadu said:No former tdf winners left, whatever happens we gonna get a new champ and Nibbles looks more and more like the man most likely to. His win today was by no means decisive on paper, but Contadors demise and his own form must have given the Italian champ a huge mentsl boost.
movingtarget said:I hear that Froome sent Contador a message of support.
Arredondo said:Contador broke his tibia/shinbone, according to Eurosport.
That means no Vuelta
ILovecycling said:Stage results:
1.Froome
2.Contador s.t.
3.Nibali + 40s
4.Pinot + 55s
5.Valverde +1.00
What a great Tour this will be!

Pricey_sky said:Gutted for Contador, nice win Nibali. He really has to win this now he may never get a better chance with the top 2 now out and Quintana not there.
A final moan for Valverde! What on earth is this guy on? Just sit there at the back of the chasers and let Nibali ride away. Does he not even want to win this race? As usual he sprint past most of them in the final metres to make himself look great, I honestly hope he doesn't even make the podium!

Big loss for the TDF today. Recover well @albertocontador & I hope to see you at the Vuelta.
Sounds fairly reasonable but I'd say more like 30. Good ride by by Nibs but I'm not overly impressed by 15 secs to Pinot.whittashau said:Come on, show some logic?

Cookster15 said:Breaking the tibia would be incredibly painful. Kudos to him to even be able to try to pedal after doing that. Sad for him.
Pricey_sky said:He does it every race! Pretends he suffers then sprints past everyone. If he's that useless then Movistar are morons for not taking Quintana to the Tour.
Yes, really. He now follow wheels 100% of the time. Don't even try to do anything different.jaylew said:Wow, seriously?
