2014 Tour de France Stage 4: Le Touquet-Paris-Plage / Lille Métropole: 163km, flat

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The revenge of Valverde is genius. Let Izagirre became spanish champion. Then let him tackle Mollema

 

[Hugo Koblet]

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

Izagirre. Not Herrada.

 

[Netserk]

He has hit his right wrist?

 

[l.Harm]

It seems.


Izaguirre

 

[Super Voeckler]

Just as it was healing from dauphine, cheese grated on the road

Wrist will be sore over the cobbles

 

[Pricey_sky]

He has hit his right wrist?

Yeah looks like he is in a fair amount of pain with it, not ideal with cobbles tomorrow!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Froome is so unbelievably thin

 

[trevim]

"I ended up taking out Nicolas Roche and breaking his new Specialized Tarmac. So there are only 249 of them left in the world."
Richie Porte is a class act. What an idiot

 

[Arnout]

Froome is so unbelievably thin

Yeah, I bet he has wounds on his other side too.

 

[Akuryo]

Froome down and A. Schleck out ... and it's not even stage 5 now.

 

[Arnout]

Froome down and A. Schleck out ... and it's not even stage 5 now.

Is Schleck out?

 

[Walkman]

If this thing affect the whole Tour, it will completely suck.

Just hope he is ok and that this will not effect is climbing.

 

[kingjr]

Looks like a scaphoid injury on his right hand

 

[Netserk]

Is Schleck out?

Don't worry it's just Andy.

 

[trevim]

Froome down and A. Schleck out ... and it's not even stage 5 now.

It's the magic of the Tour really, it's like playing russian roulette to see who gets to the mountains.

 

[Tournesol]

Definitely left hand problem.

 

[the sceptic]

Froome losing a couple of minutes tomorrow would be great for the tour

 

[Arnout]

Don't worry it's just Andy.

He's the only one that really matters, even now. Frank will probably be decent until be breaks a collarbone in the descent of a 3rd category climb.

 

[kingjr]

He's the only one that really matters, even now.

Matters how exactly?

 

[glassmoon]

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.

Ouch, what should i apply on my burn area?

 

[Arnout]

Matters how exactly?

The unexpected, the entertaining, etc etc.

Dont worry, Zubeldia will get 15th on the GC

Couldn't agree more..

This could make him extra nervous for tomorrow..

Seeing the way he was almost shaking on the bike when he had the food out of the pedal for bandage gave me the impression that he culd chrash again any moment in that position.. (happy that didn't happen of course)

 

[kingjr]

The unexpected, the entertaining, etc etc.

Yeah that one attack in 2011 that only worked because Contador had a bad day. Haven't seen him do anything entertaining since then and neither before that tbh.

I'm not a fan at all either, but still was sort of interested if he had found a bit of form this year.
