bigcog said:Who ? Froome ? So he's to blame for morons in the crowds, a motorcyclist who isn't up to the job and the ASO who couldn't get high in a crack cocaine lab ? Nice one.

Not a fan, not a flag, not a selfie, not a drunkie but four motos in straight line too close to each other!!
Blame it to the organization!!
The motos can't just **** disappear. The spectators just crowded way too far into the road.
You are just another cog in the vast machinery of the Sky conspiracy. Look at the .gif clearly he is getting a draft off that moto while running. This is an outrage.kenk09 said:bigcog said:Who ?

Was going for sarcasm. Gentle mocking of those who have decided to use this incident (3 riders and a motorbike colliding) to dust off and post all their Froome/Sky bile again.

Ramira said:Gigs_98 said:Since everyone is talking about the Moto incident nobody has mentioned something else which is very interesting. Quintana was absolutely horrible, being dropped by riders like Yates, Bardet, Aru and Meintjes
Yup Quintana wasn't good today. I guess we'll have the final week to find out if it was a one-off, or if he's simply not the same he was last year.

Looks like they gave Quintana, Valverde, and Tejay the same time as the rest of that second group. From what I saw of them getting held up by the spectators I think that's the right call in the sense that it's consistent with what they did for Froome and Porte.
