Well I wasn't the one who had that Landa dream, this was about as exciting as it gets for meRed Rick said:The Landa dream was way better. Now I'm disappointedLaFlorecita said:Tonight I dreamed Alberto and Quintana were attacking in the crosswinds, Froome panicked but Sky brought them back, then Alberto attacked again with the Finnish and Estonian national champions and with Michael Morkov (in Tinkoff kit)![]()

Indeed.....Miburo said:Don't forget to enjoy the race guys
It's one of Alberto's last tours, treasure the moment.
And he's gonna win of course![]()

Looked like the BMC rider fell into him, why would he fall if Contador fell to his left and he was on Contador's right.LaFlorecita said:That looked like a very hard crash. Couldn't quite tell if he was the first to go down or if it was the BMC rider.
I'm afraid he'll lose time today or tomorrow.
Yeah that was my idea as well, also because you could see Toso looking back before Berto actually crashed.Squirbos_19 said:Looked like the BMC rider fell into him, why would he fall if Contador fell to his left and he was on Contador's right.LaFlorecita said:That looked like a very hard crash.

I really don't know. Going through a corner, bike at an angle, when someone falls/slides into you, how are you supposed to save that?PremierAndrew said:Well, the BMC rider was to blame to some extent, but a better bike handler would not have gone down there in Contador's position
I mean he's probably gonna survive this, but why can't he never be at 100% without any problem like everyone else? He's tough but not superman.CheckMyPecs said:Have faith, people! This is Alberto Contador we're talking about.
Haven't seen any replays of the contact that actually brought him down but he seemed to lose his balance. I think Contador and the BMC guy were out of the corner before the incident weren't they? If they were, then Contador could have been a bit more alert and better balanced, because his bike wouldn't have been at an angle. If they weren't out of the corner, he could have gone round the road furniture and carried the momentum from the BMC guy pushing him wide/making contact, instead of trying to make the cornerLaFlorecita said:I really don't know.

I mean yeah possibly Sagan could have stayed upright, but I bet 9/10 riders would have gone down.
Looks like Trek slowed down the peloton by the way
Be neutralised due to the crash.buchanan said:Looks like Froome got a few seconds on the line.
Yeah, everyone was rolling in casually, UCI jury said ahead of the race they would be lenient in applying 3km rule.Merphos said:They might as well just delete the 3k rule if that's the case. With such a crash, obviously there will be no time gaps.
Wasn't there a very similar finish and crash in the recent Dauphine and it wasn't neutralised?MatParker117 said:Be neutralised due to the crash.buchanan said:Looks like Froome got a few seconds on the line.
This gap was much more blatantly due to the crash. Absolute joke if it isn't neutralisedbuchanan said:Wasn't there a very similar finish and crash in the recent Dauphine and it wasn't neutralised?MatParker117 said:Be neutralised due to the crash.buchanan said:Looks like Froome got a few seconds on the line.
