Re:

Sky pushing on - getting revenge on Nibali.

Really bad sport. This isnt remotely comparable to Froomes little mishap with stones in the machinery.

Having said that this could mean different options for Astana

 

[Irondan]

Another crash!

 

[Tank Engine]

No love lost between Sky and Nibali Katusha and Movistar pushing now too.

Hope Niemiec and the IAM guy are OK

 

[Carols]

Sky, Katusa, Movi riding on........

IAM rider still down

It does seem pretty bad form to push on after such a big crash. This would have been neutralized in the TdF.

sky went to the front after the crash

 

[Irondan]

Nibali relegated to super dom duties now...

 

[Arredondo]

Tanner again?

 

[Asero831]

What the gap on Nibali?

 

[Rollthedice]

Nobody gives a bike to Nibs, team don't wait for him. Hard to wear bib no 24.

Shame on the organizers. How long did it take for the doctors to arrive at the crash

Half the team were down with him weren't they? Not much a team can do in that situation.

Sky pushed it on first, others joined.

 

[Flamin]

Nibali needs a team car or he's ***.

Astana in disarray. What should a team leader do to get a bike?

I think 3 astana riders were involved, might have missed some though

maybe, but for the last 10mins Katusha and Movistar are driving the peleton

At least Movistar and Katusha can say they have genuine contenders for the stage win and need to catch the break. What is Sky's excuse?

 

[Carols]

3 teammates pulling Nibs....

 

[luckyboy]

Looks like he's about 40secs to a minute behind the peloton

Re:

Nearly back in the cars now so should get on; might not have much left for the climb though.

Froome, Henao, Nieve(?) can't win the stage?

naturally they are aiming to protect their team leader.

How is Henao not a contender?
