Well I wasn't the one who had that Landa dream, this was about as exciting as it gets for meRed Rick said:LaFlorecita 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)
The Landa dream was way better. Now I'm disappointed

It's not ridiculous. It's getting beyond ridiculous. :lol:Kwibus said:It's not getting ridiculous. It is ridiculous
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: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.

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.
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 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

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.

Be neutralised due to the crash.

Wasn't there a very similar finish and crash in the recent Dauphine and it wasn't neutralised?
