So many crashes. Froome's outstanding descending sees him remain in control when most lesser riders around him falter.

Froome and Nibali!

So much for superior Froome descending skills.

Skytrain about to go TGV for Froome. Who was the Astana man? Aru or one of the doms?

It's amazing how much this Tour has revealed about Froome. Imagine saying this a couple of months ago.

IIRC some people were saying it - It just was fashionable then to descibe him as 'Crash Froome' and 'Like a Robot Pushing a shopping trolley'

Now suddenly he is the best technical rider in the peoloton apparently... If he crashes in the wet today it will be like a revolving door convention.

(I am liking him more too, I am not saying I am not easily convinced too!)

Nibali crashed in solidarity with Froome.

Re:

Mollema now. Shaping up to be the worst day for Dutch cycling since SK's crash at the Giro.

And Keldedman completes the Dutch delight. Roads deadly if they've been dry for a long time and then have heavy rain. Go Bardet!

 

[Cancelled]

Froome and his wet weather nemesis meet again.

Maybe a full wet tour is the way to beat him.

Please. Nibali crashed too.

Re:

Nibali went Down too, isn't he a great descender?

Re:

Yeah... Nibali is rubbish too isn't he...

 

[aarononymous]

Froome to win the stage now

Re:

Well, he and Nibali did gap some of the other riders at the time of the crash..

 

[Red Rick]

Froome crash is so insignificant. He may not win the stage because of this, that's it

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Wtf is everybody? What happened to the peloton?

Re:

Almost ended in a cuddle

 

[Pantani Attacks]

LOL and people said Froome could handle a bike

 

[rick james]

we are about to see Froome climbing without a power meter

Re:

Even Nibali's copying him by crashing at the same time, that's how outstanding a descender he is

 

[Ramira]

As long as no-one gets seriously hurt I kind of like this.

The gaps are small but present. So it's almost every rider for themselves.

No drafting possible.

Meaningless outlier. What matters is the long run propensity to fall.

 

[jalep]

Oh, road rash on Froome's back --- on G's Bike

 

[Catwhoorg]

That was a good quick bike change with the team-mate. Nicely done.

 

[Arked]

When cycling ends and bobsleighs starts?

But seriously this is interesting.
