Re:

Froome to suffer multiple body fractures due to the Hailstones

I give you 20/1 odds for that prediction

Damnit Meintjes down!

 

[rick james]

will be more crashes...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

I think it will get clear at the finish and stay fresh.

Yeah Froome will probably talk to the higher powers and demand the hailstorm to stop.

 

[OmieeZF]

so ehm is anybody going to attack or what? what a boring ass race from the GC contenders.

Re: Re:

Thomas is 400/1 to win the stage. I can see Sky catching this and Froome gifting him it.

No way they'll catch this break unless they go absolutely berserk.

Froome can take at least 5-6 minutes on the climb if necessary but I doubt that they will go berserk.

 

[GroupDK]

sad this surrending, but the huge distances amongst the climbs also carry some of the reason....

 

[djpbaltimore]

Over the top with 7 SKY riders on the front. Still a pretty big peloton. Not much selection so far.

Re:

Crazy amount of hail and thunder on Plateau de Beille, Rolf Sørensen says.

Damn. Will be difficult to match Contador-Rasmussen 07

 

[Ryongsyong]

The commentators both on ITV and Eurosport seem to have full access to pictures even when we're looking at the mountains.

 

[franic]

Waiting for Froome’s crash I’ve just bet 10€ on Porte’s win at 1001.

 

[Irondan]

Is the NBCSN feed gone for others or just me?

 

[sir fly]

Vanmarcke's weather.
Kwia doesn't mind.

Re:

I wonder if the gc riders would ride if he crashed.

I know movistar will, they don't give a ***. Contador prob too, he bs's a lot about fairplay but pretty sure he would do it too.

 

[infeXio]

It's doubtful that we'll get any more pictures from the helicopters due to the weather

 

[Sylvester]

Vanmarcke and Kwiatkowski killing themselves here.

Meintjes is back!

lovely...

They have access to several screens but know which one the viewer sees. Something like this

 

[Psalmon]

Sky has advanced anti-icing systems on all their bikes, a distinct competitive advantage if it keeps hailing.

 

[franic]

Something like Les deux Alpes 1998 today?

 

[The Blues]

Dennis Ritter talking about wind gusts at 50 km/h.

 

[djpbaltimore]

Yep, My NBCsports feed is gone as well.

 

[TMP402]

Basically the weather makes it advantage Quintana.

Re:

If Froome can make it to the flats, he’s probably safe

 

[rm7]

What a borefest. I totally get that there's a long way between the last two climbs, but why not put a bit pressure on the descent???? Ride the descent from front, Moviestar! Seriosly, this is ridicolous.
