Official letour says "Andy Schleck gives up" - yes, that is exactly what it is.

 

[Warhawk]

Andy Schleck has abondoned, a dark, dark day for cycling.

Well, maybe partly cloudy.

Andy Schleck has abondoned, a dark, dark day for cycling.

And not a single **** was given that day.

 

[PeterB]

he's just... priceless

he [Andy] will be literally priceless for the next year, if he continues like this...

 

[Jagartrott]

am I a bad person if I just literally felt off my chair laughing?

he's just... priceless

Pretty much. Not only for the statement vis-à-vis Schleck, but also for lying that you fell out off your chair laughing. Nobody does that.

lol best comment ever

 

[Netserk]

Voeckler to attack?

 

[karlboss]

Andy withdrawed after yesterdays crash?

Andy who???

 

[Netserk]

Lol, Lotto controlling, doing Giant's work...

 

[Netserk]

Crash!

Froome behind it, but not on the ground.

edit: Seems he was down :O

 

[Pricey_sky]

Froome down!

 

[MrTea1976]

Froome is down.

 

[Warhawk]

Left some skin on the pavement there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Orica works Froome to the ground

And then Izagirre tackles Mollema

 

[Carols]

Probably checking his stem

 

[Netserk]

Thankfully it's not his wrist, as that would've been terrible the day before tomorrow.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

That's going to make tomorrow more uncomfortable.

 

[mrhender]

Froome is down.

Wish that hadn't happened..

Now we have to hear this as excuse when he fails.....

 

[Arnout]

Lol, Lotto controlling, doing Giant's work...

I hate teams that are as controlling as Giant to get to the inevitable sprint victory, but I hate teams do so out of pure stupidity even more...

 

[Arredondo]

Looks rather serious for Froome. Lot of skin gone. Mollema crashed because of Herrada

 

[Scott SoCal]

That was bad luck for Froome. Looks like the guy to his left lost his front wheel off the edge of the Tarmac, over-corrected and down Froome went.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Looks like those old injuries from the Dauphine haven't healed properly either, doubt all that rash was from that crash just.

 

[Arnout]

Maybe his elbow got bounced back into shape

 

[Scott SoCal]

Nope. It was a touch of wheels right in front of him.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Looked like the Orica guy to his front swerved to avoid his teammate and wiped his front wheel out.
