So much for superior Froome descending skills.

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

oh boy, Nibs went down because vroom went just in front of him... actually, that might save the yellow - if he did not break on that slippery white strip that took down Vroom, he could in the worst case hurt Froomey by his bike (e.g. cranks)

Re: Re:

Doesn't look happy on that bike...

Messes with his 'style' (for lack of a better description), and possibly his ability to use power meters the way he'd want to. So of course he's not happy.

Love to Romain......

Re: Re:

Please. Nibali crashed too.

I thought Nibali crashed cause Froome crashed in front of him; Nibs must have touched the brakes to avoid Froome and fell down as well.

Froome is not bad on descent, he's just not great in wet conditions or very technical descents with narrow roads and he does not take risks cause he's always in yellow.

Doesn't have osymetric chain rings. Race should be neutralised.

 

[PatrickLeeds]

Damn the telegraph's slow updates - it's telling me Bardet is way ahead - sustainable?

C'mon Bardet! France needs you today!

Shirley sky have a car with Froomes bike close by?

 

[RattaKuningas]

It seems that Froome was chasing Bardet and went too quick and fell

"Shirley"?

Re:

No.

The neutral service car, however, appears to be there. Perhaps Froome might want to try one of those bikes?

Re:

Nibali came off because suddenly the corner was blocked with an alien, don't see what that says about his abilities, he can't bunny hop over a person, the jury might DQ him.

Nibali literally threw himself off his bike to avoid the crash. He didn't look like he lost control

 

[Walkman]

Why don't Froome's teammate goes down and pick up his bike and then TT back just to drop it off?

 

[PatrickLeeds]

trying to follow the race on a text website AND on here is making my head spin. I swear every day not to, but I do

Re:

Frankly if they don't, I'd be surprised.

 

[infeXio]

And still no one is attacking... my god this is dull

Re:

Yes, I know. And stop calling me Shirley.

 

[King Boonen]

This has ruined the Sherlock Holmes puns.

 

[Ramira]

Bardet on 29 seconds, so about 50 ahead of the pack. Seems he might well win, and probably get within a minute of the podium, or even get on it, especially if Mollema can't get back.

 

[Fergoose]

Why are Astana not pushjng? Waiting on Nibali? It's the only chance of make inroads on the top 2. I know the climb gets a little shallower for a km halfway up but can't believe only Bardet is the only one with the stones to attack.

Someone had to say it!

 

[Ryongsyong]

French TV motopacing Bardet? Surely not.

 

[doperhopper]

Bardet already sees Rui
