Re: Re:

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.

Froome made it impossible for them to ride on by stopping alonsside the road

How?

Re:

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.

Froome stopping was probably the biggest factor.

I don't understand ehy FDJ are remotely bothered about Pinot being in the front group, why were they even chasing the peloton before? Reichembach isn't going to trouble the leaders, it is weird.

Re: Re:

Why was Cancellara getting involved?

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

Like.. .why?

Do the French and Dutch actually still believe the Tour de France is the hardest bike race in the world!?

Re: 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.

They had no-one to chase

So they weren't affected by Froome neutralising everything then. Disappointed in Movistar; they usually try to race on whatever happens - as it should be.

They slowed down before he stopped for a piss

I agree with you.

Meintjes and Barguil seem to be back in the peloton according to the live tracker but Pinot not.

He's not that wide.

You need more bandejas paisas Froomey

We can watch it only from distance.

Imagine what role Nieve and Landa will play in the remaining kilometers

 

[doperhopper]

Lemond speculates a wind gust took down Gerro

 

[Beech Mtn]

Yet again, Movistar misses Ivan Gutierrez.

I think most of them believe AdH is the hardest climb in the world

Aru must be due another bike change again soon.

They couldn't continue because hs topped to piss. Impey already came to the front to start doing the work that Gerrans could no longer do but one of the Movistar riders told him they couldn't ride on cause Froome stopped to piss
