Wow. they just showed the defensive dive Nibs took to avoid running over Froome
Was Nibbles injured in the crash? Cause he completely disappeared from the peloton after that.

Anyone got a link of this, would love to know if Nibali is injured or not as otherwise he will win tomorrows stage from the break...
i just saw Nibali interview for RAI.
He said he's OK he just took some bumps.

He said bardet went away in the descent, and Froome went chasing for Bardet, he went chasing Froome. Froome carshed suddenly and he had to break but could not avoid the crash.

Quintana does not deserve the podium

Porte does imo ...lots of bad luck but he has attacked thru the race

needs 50 secs to Quintana ...team is not strong enough

Caruso did some great work for him on the final climb.

As porte lost time, it wasn't so great to work for him like this.

Sky and Froome really need to take care tomorrow if it is raining. Nothing is over

What you worrying for ?, I've had it rammed down my throat all week how brilliant a decender he is.

well, rainy day tomorrow, most probably, long technical descents... and just one crash away from the first french Tour victory in approx. 2367 years

if Porte had not attacked he probably would not have lost time but he had to try and Bardet was up the road anyway so he had to chase.

It's a bit of a shame that Froome is copping so much hate for making this Tour predictable when he's pretty much one of the few GC riders trying to make the race exciting whatever his motives are. When Bardet took off on the descent, he could have and probably should have easily let him go and just caught up to him with his ridiculous team on the climb instead of going after him himself. He might probably be getting some words tonight from his manager about that...
