Re:

Rolland has had a fall

Cannondale spend a week surrounding him with a protective wall of human flesh... and then the first time he gets out of their sight he crashes anyway.

Finally BMC couple doing something. Will the end being most stupid team leaders couple today?

 

[dfromdub]

Can we finally settle the debate that Froome is **** on descents?

He's not bad, but this isn't a particularly hard descent.

Matej Mohorič is facepalming somewhere.

Rolland clipped a stone wall

 

[webvan]

Ridiculous, BMC waking up...

 

[PremierAndrew]

In a more technical descent, Froome wouldn't be so good. Froome is relying on an aero tuck, hence his superb descent today. That's a big difference to what would happen on a techncial descent

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Froome is just fantastic. How can you not love that guy?

 

[cineteq]

Froome in yellow into tomorrow's rest day!!!!! #OhWait

 

[Rollthedice]

This is beyond awesome, straight out of Nibs book, can't drop them uphill do it downhill. The last stage in Froome's complete transition to alien.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Chapeau, Froome. Well done.

 

[sir fly]

Rolland screched off of a wall.
This was scary as Hell.
Chapeau!

Froome won the Tour, British domination continues. 5th British win in 8 days.

I'm done with the Tour.

 

[Publicus]

This is the first win by Froome which I think qualifies as "panache" Well done

 

[Andy262]

Chapeau Froome. Crazy move!
