Gehavende Froome
Er druppelt meer nieuws binnen over de wonden van Chris Froome: de Brit zou gehavend zijn aan zijn rechterheup en -elleboog.

In English:

Froome got injuries to his right hip and elbow. No more specific damage though.

 

[Alcanelo]

Betancur right at the back as usual

Yeah I'm watching Universal Sports!

Froome looked fine, had to wait for a bike. Team took him back to peloton then he visited dr car.

Left his bike leaning on someones car. I'd be ****ed if anyone scratched my car leaving their bike leaning on it!

Betancur right at the back as usual

He doesn't want to block the road during the climb

 

[Roude Leiw]

Is there a reason that Trek is working?

 

[Alcanelo]

Thing is he was strolling around almost like Ricco used to... I genuinely think he just doesn't give a damn. I hope he gets his head together and gets into shape for next year.

Is there a reason that Trek is working?

Felline/Stuyven or just to protect whatever GC placing Zubeldia has.

Felline/Stuyven or just to protect whatever GC placing Zubeldia has.

That would be the first time ever that Zubeldia's team has worked for him.

No. This is just Fabian in taining mode.

 

[TANK91]

Do you think road rash is bad? Can he recover well from that. He needs to not lose no time before the rest day imo.

 

[Alcanelo]

And Spartacus is finished training

 

[TANK91]

Eng stream please?

 

[Alcanelo]

Canc dropped way down the field, looks unhappy with the bike and signaled to the team car while shaking his head

 

[icefire]

And Spartacus is finished training

Looks like he had a mechanical cause he's riding back to the bunch

 

[Bigas Lunas]

Eng stream please?

Dan Martin always great interviews.

''How did you see the big favorites yesterday?"

[Arredondo]

Bad luck for Nieve. He's a minute behind the peloton.

Probably starting to drilling it as i predicted earlier.

Irish humour is the best in the world hands down.

A cynic would say that they are applying pressure on Froome.
Maybe to get a notion on how bad he is, and maybe to invert psychological pressure on him, giving him no rest in his current situation..

Danish TV2 reports of three visits to the medical car..
So some treatment is needed.. hopefully it's not too bad..

But anyway.. TS pushing it now is not helpful for Froome...
A sign of what he needs to prepare for...

 

[Piz Buin]

No word about froome on german eurosport so far..what the hell?
