The Hitch said:What? Waiting doesnt mean everyone hits the breaks the second the mj is in trouble. It means continuing at a normal pace so yellow jersey can get back on.
Which is exactly what happened. Porte Froome and Contador got back on befor the end of the descent.
Besides it was the end of the stage so he would only have lost a few seconds anyway.
Carols said:Quintana admitted he attacked....
"If Contador is upset, then I'm sorry but we didn't attack because he was dropped," said Quintana. "I just kept going at my rhythm because I wanted to distance Kwiatkowski in the young rider classification, as well as the other riders who had been dropped."
But Movistar has a no wait policy anyway.

No, he speaks Australian and said "There definitely wasn't a headwind..."Fearless Greg Lemond said:Crosswinds and headwind for the last part, Rogers speaks English.
Afrank said:These "mind-games" if anything would lead to Contador crushing the coming descents and taking minutes out of Froome. Doesn't sound like a very good mind-game to me.![]()
oldcrank said:I think SKY and Froome can take some solace tonight
after Contador's display of reckless desperation,
questionable tactics and suspect descending.
Much too soon to be counting any chickens, but
Alberto has been somewhat exposed now.
Jelantik said:Froome today:
Waaaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaaaa..... contador is recklessss... waaaaa waaaa....
i didn't know the strongest man in the race is a whoosh..No wonder his girl is the one that keep yapping against wiggin vs froome tdf leadership. the man got no two wheels..
shut up, and coasting at the back, hold your buddy's hand if you are so afraid to follow contador. It's a freakin' race. contador got NOTHING to loose.
TANK91 said:Yes because AC was really putting Froome under pressure yday, if you think under pressure means accelerarting out of corners faster then fine but CF was bringing him back with ease due to his engine imo.
The Hitch said:I hope the media make a big deal out of it and ask everyone about it in interviews tomorrow. That way everyone will know he said it and I suspect most people will disagree with Froome's comments.
