Huh? How does this make any sense considering Nibali crashed also, at nearly the same spot?
**** happens. Cycling just isn't the safest sport around, and yesterday was particularly dangerous.
Froome attacked, Nibali followed.

It has nothing to do with their votes? It's just a popularity poll on Twitter.
Fergoose said:The rain shouldn't be such a factor on descents of the roads on todays stages because of the soaking they got yesterday. Rain mainly only has an impact if you've had a period of dry weather beforehand (which allows an accumulation of dirt and oil to build up on the roads).

He has nothing else to do, i think.hammerthaim said:Why does chava get in a break if he can't win?
Why not? It's the last stage, might as well show the French audience that he's in the race.hammerthaim said:Why does chava get in a break if he can't win?
