Re:

Some Pinot fan popped the flamme rouge

Is Tonton there? :lol:

Pinot has to be sick or something. No way he should be dropped from a group that big.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Was dan martin still up the road?

Re:

Cue the airbridge puns:

I'm not the only one left deflated with the stage.
GVA burst the bubble for the peloton.
This stage really fizzled out at the end

My vote.

 

[Rollthedice]

This is clean fun cycling, what we've been waiting for all these years.

 

[portugal11]

Tonton is dead. I told you man, your pinot is very overrated. I think bardet is better than him

Re: Re:

Froome thinks that Quintana understands his english lol

It was Valverde.

And then Quintana

 

[GJB123]

You know Contador's luck is changing if the kilometer banner doesn't make him crash.

Re:

Adam Yates gets taken out by the flame rouge!

Yeah he was on the ground. Hopefully, he was just stunned. Pinot big loser on the day.

 

[saganftw]

Re:

In all fairness, there's no way that this was just Pinot being found out as only the sixtieth best climber in the peloton. Something was wrong with him.

 

[Guybrush]

poor tv coverage, no clue who was droped from the main group but the frenchs

 

[rune1107]

Yates geeeez

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Pinot loses over 2 minutes anyway, could have been even worse without Tonton slashing the flamme rouge.

Ah fair enough didn't see that, think Valaverde wanted to try a cheeky sprint as he usually does.

 

[WheelofGear]

Yates is bloody. This is a disgrace! He should get st. as the rest.

 

[portugal11]

Let's be serious, this stage was boring as hell. Yates looks bad

Re:

The stage was good up front. The peloton on the other hand deserved to be crushed by a giant inflatable arch.

 

[staubsauger]

Bardet at least seems to be mentally stronger and thus more constant!

Pinot still might fight back like last year. His honor ain't gone yet!

 

[Andro]

Hopefully Yates gets the same time as the peloton. Utterly ridiculous to have his Tour ruined by this.

 

[TomLPC]

I would be *** fuming if i was Yates, he was on the attack too

They are taking the times from 3k

 

[dgodave]

I cant imagine why we'd expect GC fireworks on this stage.

Flamme rouge needs medical car.

 

[Praying Mantis]

Yates's bike was on top of the banner? He must have tried to jump it or something...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Wait Yates actually hit the giant burst balloon?

Re:

Yates was ahead of the peloton, he should gain time really.

 

[rehy90]

Tour organizers are lucky this race has so much history...so boring when you compare it to Giro/Vuelta
