You can't unpunch Merckx's liver, but you can give Froome and LRP their time back.DirtyWorks said:woodburn said:patrick767 said:Are you freaking kidding me? A moto takes out the on the attack yellow jersey on a critical summit finish? Get the damn motos off the roads! Enough of this crap. What a farce!
So no video from the road?
And what's the moto supposed to do, run spectators over? This isn't the first time spectators have influenced the outcome of the TdF. Relax. Froome has this. He rode everyone but Porte off his wheel.
Hopefully Porte is not affected too much by running into the moto.

It is loser mentality. He subconsciously seeks a reason not to be a leader.

He was like a giant clown on a tiny tricycle.

According to Phil the rule is clear Froome should be DQed

That would be pathetic. This is cycling and road incidents happen all the time.
A fan falling because Tour couldn't deal with overcrowding? Well, I don't think so.
