Another Contador crash.

Another Contador crash.

Yup. I am confused.

 

[ILovecycling]

Like we saw in this stage,Saxo has to use Old granny - Wiggins tactic on Froome.I'm looking forward to Sarrene downhill
Froome's bike handling skills is his weakness.

 

[roundabout]

So what's the tactic? Tell Kreuziger to run Froome off the road? Almost worked today.

 

[oldcrank]

Froome's bike handling skills is his weakness.

Yes, today showed that when Contador crashes in front
of him, Chris does not possess the bike handling skills to
avoid going down as well.

They were short lived and pointless in the long run, but I was glad to see Contador putting in some attack today. Maybe a sign he is feeling better on the climbs.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

You not man enough to aknowledge you were totally wrong and i was totally right





Its ok, not everyone has to know a lot about cycling

what are you talking about? seriously

 

[Forunculo]

Contador was wrong on Quintana/Valverde, they are doing their race and has the right to do it like Contador did in Bales 3 years ago.

Aside this Saxo is trying to clean Belkin from the podium before tha last try on yellow jersey.

it's an attempt of long term dismantling froome. it may work, even if it has a few % chance, you should always try. at leats they are killing porte

 

[Jelantik]

well, even though it's not working, we finally see contador's attack. Mollema is hanging dearlife to his second spot. He is one of many that will make the 3rd week boring. So I hope he got pop big time.

Froome complaining?? wha, wha, wha.. another version of andy. If you are afraid of crashing, then sit at the back, have porte paces you. You got 4 minutes, you probably will loose few seconds. And tomorrow you'll gain another 2 minutes. what's the big deal.

 

[batchuba]

The most important development today, was that Contador looked decidedly frisky. When Contador looks frisky, near anything is possible.

I'm daring to hope he will lose a negligible amount in the TT.

He didn't look to be pushing really hard during his attacks. Looked pretty calm, not grimacing or anything.

 

[velascoabuela]

Haven't had the nerve to watch the race. He survived this stage....now I can watch the tape.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Contador's knee after his fall. He supposed to have injured his elbow as well

Because wasn't the day but belkin struggling change the plan

i think he tested the waters. Accelerate, slow down, accelerate, slow down. Changing the pacing. I don't who's that was for. I'm assuming it's for mollema. First objective, topple mollema, and then... do the hail mary to unseat froome.. Long shot, but i would rather see him doing that than watching everyone behind porte hoffing and puffing hanging on their current gc placing.

Purito seems to want to improve his position. Quintana wants podium. Contador just don't want to go down hanging on gc placing. So the 3 of them should have some common goal. "ATTACK"..

Oh my.. not again!

OOO.. arrrggghhhh.... kneeee!. that would be bad!!! i hope it won't be swollen.

thats what i was initially thinking.

 

[el_angliru]

So, how did the crash happen?
A Danish site says Contador was angry because Quintana attacked when Froome drove into the ditch so that Contador had to get off his bike! What was the course of events?

 

[xrayvision]

Froome is unhappy with Berto, think he rides careless, was responsible for Froomes almost crashing...
Give it a rest Dawg.

Bunch of idiots jumping to conclusions based on their own assumptions, as usual
