2016 TdF, Stage 12: Montpellier → Mont Ventoux (178km)

[gooner]

Ridiculous.

The race was on and would Froome have gone to the front to call a halt if it was Quintana who lost support riders like this.

Valverde didn't look too happy and rightly so.

Who is responsible for what happened?

Re:

The irony that Gerrans pulled to keep the gap to the Meintjes group, only for his crash to bring about it all regrouping.

The universe just wasn't ready to see Gerrans pulling.

Re:

Hang on... So what exactly happened there?... I'm getting confused.

Not much Froome taking piss so everyone waiting.

 

[RattaKuningas]

At least Movistar picked it up now.

 

[Poursuivant]

Movistar come to the front about an hour too late

 

[Kokoso]

So what? Riders don't have their own will? Do they have to obey Cancellara?

They should say f*** you Mr. Froome, we are riding on.

 

[happytramp]

Why was Cancellara getting involved?

Re:

That piss has screwed up so many riders races. Yates had got 2 minutes on Barguil in pursuit of young riders classification. The peleton still had a chance of winning the stage and bonus seconds would been distributed to the winner. It has messed the day up as a viewing spectacle also. All because Froome went for a bloody piss cos his team mates had crashed.

I think they're responsible for their own decision. If Orica wanted to carry on pulling to protect Yates' advantage they should have done. It's their own fault if they got bullied by Sky.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Biggest loser is Fabio Aru I guess.

Cancellara

Re:

Because he can't resist himself in situations like this.

They had no-one to chase

see? when aru needs a bit of help froomes bladder is suddenly empty

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Tinkoff was smart to get out of this clown show.

 

[spalco]

Did the peloton stop because Froome needed to piss or did he just take the opportunity because the peloton was stopping anyway? I feel like it was the latter.

this, movistar should have driven the pace, but besides whining about the danger caused by the wind we hear nothing from them

 

[meat puppet]

What a clusterfeck. Fitting that Aru has yet another bike change. Will it be the right one this time?

 

[rick james]

Horse crash........

 

[Valv.Piti]

Send that horrible person on pension already.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Bloke falling off the horse!

Because he's a self-important clown. The sooner he retires the better.
