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

[Miburo]

According to the doctor of Sky, Froome has some problems with his wrist.

If that's true then he's in for serious trouble tomorrow.

just saw Froome crashed, hope he's ok. Big blow. he'll be lucky to survive tmoro #hopeforhimthatiamwrong


I also hope he is wrong. Luckily the Tour doctor says its superficial. But he will be sore tomorrow

Fvck,Froome is hurt?

Seems to have problems with his wrist. And tomorrow there will be cobbles - have fun.

I once read somewhere on here about how these flat stages could be made more interesting, with the teams actually racing.

I don't suppose anyone knows where it is?

 

[Cimber]

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

Actually he did hurt the wrist it seems

Contador crashed badly on stage 2 last year. He didn't complain.

for CF it always seems to coincide with a TUEsday.

 

[Jelantik]

I dont think its so serious that Froome will withdraw.

If he loses some time tomorrow, it will mean he has to put in some super mutant attacks when we get to the mountains. So its all good.

No i don't think so. He is too arrogant and too showboating to not continue too. Maybe he should start riding looking at the front instead of looking at his stem all the time.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Instead of a splint for his wrist, Sky should give Froome a splint for his neck, so he'll stop starting at his stem and start looking at the road.

 

[MartinGT]

Then something for his arms so he looks less alien

Cutting the cables on his Cound webcam..?
Not gonna happen

Canc texting?!

This is how it looks near Lille at the moment....

 

[hmpower]

Say in Froome case he continue on as ego and narcissistic will kick in. Just the big stones in clobbers might destroy him if does not recover and could force him out let see how the wrist is.

Wow!! Any news in the wind anyone?

Please update me on Froome i just switched on and he crashed, was it bad? Is he in group still? And please don't tell me it was a cut like the dauphinee else Froome has no chance.

He's in the main bunch. It didn't look too nasty, but he hurt his wrist in it which is obviously problematic a day before cobbles.

I'm just reading here, but it seems to be that his old wounds opened up again and on top of that he injured his wrist. But no guarantee, cause I am not watching the stage atm.

 

[Cimber]

Was it the same side hje hurt in DL?

 

[MartinGT]

Nibs suits the yellow

The Dawg, some road rash, but nothing bad, dodgy wrist so its whether he can use his ventolin or not

 

[TANK91]

lol at people making it like their gutted alot who commented would much rather a easy AC victory. Can not believe he as crashed again i wont be watching if he is out, the TDF will be a bore. Unless Contador does to Nibali what Froome done to Alberto last year.

 

[MartinGT]

Was it the same side hje hurt in DL?

Aye, looks like its the same area.

Tore up his hip pretty good. It wasnt pretty but looked mostly superficial (except possibly his wrist). Gonna be rough on the cobbles tomorrow.

 

[murali]
