2014 Tour de France, Stage 5: Ypres – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut: 156km

[Broth3r]

Surely the cobbles' fault.

 

[MartinGT]

Oh dear.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Froome out of the tour. Wow.

 

[saganftw]

[Super Voeckler]

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Another one sided Tour then (assuming Contador gets through today).

 

[TANK91]

Froome for the Vuelta? Whoever wins this TDF is not the strongest that is for sure. Also credit to the many people who don't like him but sound gutted he is out.

 

[thrawn]

I see now that he's out. That's a shame, wanted an epic Froome v Contador alien battle in the mountains.

 

[Ramira]

Froome never looked comfortable all day long, though of course this is quite extreme.

I wonder how Brailsford thinks about his decision to force Wiggins out of the tour now?

I guess we got a race between Contador and Nibali now, and we get to see what Porte can do as a team leader.

 

[webvan]

Ok, we'll see how Richie "Plan B" Porte does now...Brailsford probably won't be listening to Team Cound next year.

 

[ILovecycling]

sh!t I feel for him!!!!

me too man



Gruson is here ladies and gentleman!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

And the great cry eminating from the UK about this stage will be heard for days...

Dude should be able to handle a bike like the other GC guys are.

 

[burning]

These cobbles look batsh1t insane

 

[sultanofhyd]

Nooo... froome is out the race???.. i'm not his fan. But this is BS from the organizer. They got what they want to see..

What the? He didn't even touch the cobbles.

 

[max_powers]

Wiggans revenge!

 

[JimPanzen]

Porte laughing his *** off on the bike right now.

 

[Afrank]

Nooo... froome is out the race???.. i'm not his fan. But this is BS from the organizer. They got what they want to see..

How is this the organizer fault. Do they control the weather? He didn't crash on any of the cobbles.

 

[Jelantik]

so this is what we call spectacle???? froome is out the tour! even i'm contador fan, i'm not happy with what transpire now.

 

[colmenarejo]

this is not ASO's fault. He fell yesterday and today before the cobbles.

 

[greenedge]

Froooooooooome?

 

[Kazistuta]

FUDGE THIS!

I love cobbles, but hate when crashes devaluate the GC battle...

P.S. I know it's not the cobbles, but the weather that did this.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Whoa, cobbles.

Rain, mud, drama.

 

[purcell]

Froome and Andy could form a team
