Re:

Nice to see Astana attacking after a mechanical once again. It's hard to ever to root for an Astana rider.

Are you even watching the race?

Maaaaan, I am so drunk right now ... I apologise in advance for my future posts.

That's what happens when you play the "Astana Tactical Incompetence" drinking game.

If you play the Lampre Tactical Imcompetence drinking game, you die.

Take a shot every time you see Rui Costa isolated!
OK, take a sip every time you see Rui Costa isolated!
OK, take a sniff every time you see Rui Costa isolated!

*death ensues nonetheless*

My wife and I played the 'Phil and Paul Commentary Drinking Game'

each time Paul said 'wind' and 'flags' I had to drink.
each time Phil read something aloud from the tour stage guide she had to drink.
each time they mentioned flints washing onto the road - drink
Each time Phil made an egregious error we both had to drink.
Each Time they pronounced Nibali differently more than once in the same sentence - drink.
It's lucky we decided to omit the 'Big Diesel Engine = Tequilla Slammer ' rule.

Grivko is an absolute monster.

Luke Rowe giving Yates a push as Rowe dropped back. Nice move

Love the TV directors, TJ dropping and then zooming in on Stannard still at the back of the peloton

They've been doing pace for last 70-80km I think.

Yes. Astana did not up the pace until after the mechanical. Before Yates had problems they were coasting and the gap had grown to over 4 mins. Are you watching or to busy posting juvenile insults?

Exactly. The race doesn't shouldn't stop everytime someone stubs their toe.

Crash uphill. Wtf????

Tweeted Dumoulin abandon.

 

[rune1107]

Dumo abandon. Left arm hurt

 

[damian13ster]

Dropped out of the race.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Dumoulin abandon!

 

[The Barb]

Oh no. Poor Tom Dumoulin. Awful.

Costa isn't winning a stage this year sadly. His constant attempts have been much weaker than everyone else's.

So who are we giving the supercombativity award? De Gendt and Majka have to be up there. Don't suppose any frenchmen would qualify this time around (no, not even Voeckler).

Major Tom abandon... :O

 

[Red Rick]

Goddammit

 

[Pricey_sky]

Wrist and elbow injury for Dumoulin, absolutely terrible luck.

That looked like a really heavy splat against the tarmac.

Aaarrrgh. Gutted for Dumoulin. Such a handsome dude.
