The_Juan said:You mean a pothole.
I'm not saying that him not scouting out the Petit Ballon is what caused him to fall. In reality I have no idea whether he did that or not. What I am saying is that it may very well played a part in it.
You need to choose where to be aggressive and where to pull back. Him going all out, again, judging by other riders have said, makes no sense.
Jancouver said:Still have two Specialized kids bikes that are about to be sold as I have already got a bigger bikes for them from different manufactures.
My S-Works Tarmac I already sold years back because I didnt like it.
My S-Works helmet I throw away this winter as the cheapo plastic adjustable fit system broke and they dont sell a replacement for the older models.
Thats about it. No more Specialized junk in our house.
The_Juan said:That you seem to be more interested in replying to other people's opinions than formulating your own.
Just an observation.
Peace out.

jmomentum said:Shame that Contador is out. He is praised for his aggressive style when it works out for him but it seems today it may have backfired. At least some of the twitter comments from other riders seem to indicate he was taking unnecessary risk.
Aside from that, is anyone buying this story from Specialized about the broken bike. It seems like the story has changed about four times and now it was apparently broken on top of the team car. So Alberto crashed so hard that he broke his tibia but the broken bike in the picture happened on top of the car. Ok, that is a good one.

LaFlorecita said:80* k out.
He just wanted a better position.
PS how much did you bet on AC winning the Tour?
LaFlorecita said:Let us hope so Zam, I know we both really want him to![]()
inthepink said:Contador crashed because he was reaching for food and hit a hole or stone in the road and couldn't control his bike with one hand
Simples.. accidents happen
He wasn't attacking or going too fast...its wasn't cos he didn't recce the course or his bike was poor
He is a superb rider and will be back next year
Its a shame for the Tour as I think he would have won it hands down and his fight to get time back would have been immense. Now Nibali looks head and shoulders above the rest
But with nearly 2 weeks to go still anything can happen

Jagartrott said:You ignore all the witness accounts that say he was overtaking people at high speeds while every one of those witnesses felt the risks he was taking were not necessary? He only took himself out here, but he could've brought down half the peloton.
And I'm saying this as a Contador supporter.
rhubroma said:It sounds as if the intial crash unnerved him somewhat and this is why he was frantically wanting to get back to the front.
Just to show you the entertainment value AC brings to the race, with Froome and Contador out, I honestly don't have much motivation to watch the rest of this Tour.
And I appreciate Nibali.

And I appreciate Nibali. But its not worth my afternoons, as before.
