This isn't a matter of luck, unless for fanboys. Out of all the top-10 GT contenders, he's the one who has fallen off of his bike the most during the last years.
No he crashed again.Stan955 said:He didn't fall down he was further behind the crash and had to wait ..

If he indeed crashed, it just highlights how bad/insecure he has gotten. Everybody and their mom could steer away from that crash, holy cow.Gigs_98 said:No he crashed again.Stan955 said:He didn't fall down he was further behind the crash and had to wait ..
Does anyone not think that? :lol:Valv.Piti said:Do you guys think Contador faked a puncture/mechanical?
I dno, I just realised that likely was the most plausible considering everything. Considering how strict they were with the rules when Alaphilippe punctured...Gigs_98 said:Does anyone no think that? :lol:Valv.Piti said:Do you guys think Contador faked a puncture/mechanical?

Edit: And why in the world would you change bikes with 400 metres to go apart from persuading the jury to believe it was a puncture.
OTOH if you truly have a puncture, you could ride on but you'll slow down and inevitably lose time, and good luck convincing the jury you suffered a puncture afterwards.Valv.Piti said:Edit: And why in the world would you change bikes with 400 metres to go apart from persuading the jury to believe it was a puncture.
Well it would be pretty obvious also if you are riding on a flat ring, everybody can see thatLaFlorecita said:OTOH if you truly have a puncture, you could ride on but you'll slow down and inevitably lose time, and good luck convincing the jury you suffered a puncture afterwards.Valv.Piti said:Edit: And why in the world would you change bikes with 400 metres to go apart from persuading the jury to believe it was a puncture.
Yet one of the arguments the jury gave for not giving Alaphilippe s.t. was that he didn't clearly show he had an issue :Neutral:Valv.Piti said:Well it would be pretty obvious also if you are riding on a flat ring, everybody can see thatLaFlorecita said:OTOH if you truly have a puncture, you could ride on but you'll slow down and inevitably lose time, and good luck convincing the jury you suffered a puncture afterwards.Valv.Piti said:Edit: And why in the world would you change bikes with 400 metres to go apart from persuading the jury to believe it was a puncture.

He says it was a bad crash and he probably will have a bad night.
