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

[rm7]

Should be neutralized among the GC guys?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Did anyone see what happened?

They say the moto bike was stopped by the crowd.

 

[Stelvio]

I guess this will be neutralized in some way?

 

[spalco]

What the *** hell happened here?

 

[burning]

Froome and Porte should be given s.t as Mollema, that would be fair

 

[TomLPC]

That shot of Froome running up the mountain, simultaneously outraged and cracking up

 

[Ramira]

Yeah whether this was a motorcycle crash or a nutty spectator. Unless this was due to Porte and Froome themselves there's no way they can make Froome lose the yellow today and keep any form of legitimacy.

 

[jaylew]

Wtf happened??? I'm at a work conference and I switched to my live feed tab and saw Froome running up the mountain?

 

[noviceaussie]

Sounds like LRP has ridden into the back of a moto bike, and then brought down Froome behind him.

 

[Der Effe]

Yates in yellow

 

[Amsterhammer]

So pleased for De Gendt, one of my favorites.

 

[WillemS]

Someone got his bike for a mid-race motor check?

 

[Fight.The.Power]

I think the Moto slammed the brakes on with the fans in the middle of the road and everyone crashed

 

[FilipeFD]

ASO should consider open the road in front of contenders with this vehicle

 

[jsem94]

This is absolute ***! Froome running without his bike... I don't even know... wtf.

 

[Fernandez]

SPECTATORS ARE A SHAME

 

[Cervelo77]

I'm conflicted. On the one hand spectators are idiots. On the other hand, seeing Froome frantically running up he hill was gold.

 

[What_What]

What an absolute shambles this race is, you have to laugh.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Disgraceful!

One of the biggest sporting events of the year apparently!

Utter shambles

 

[sir fly]

That's about what would've he lost if the peloton wasn't held waiting after Gerrans' fall.

 

[SeriousSam]

Porte accelerated into a motorbike.

But seriously, the motorbike needs to get the *** out of the way

 

[Rollthedice]

Re:

Are we all in agreement that Froome running up Ventoux like Big Bird is the greatest cycling moment of all time? I'm in tears laughing!

Absolutely fantastic, can't stop the laughing tears!

 

[Arredondo]

Just give everyone the time at 3 km.

This is disgusting/

 

[rune1107]

New moto crash

 

[Domulec]

Would be very tough on Mollema if they neutralize this.
