Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 6, Grenoble - Poisy (178.5 km)

After race interview with froome... Froome said he hit a pot hole and lost his front wheel

The road was very rough and narrow. He was having back problems earlier in the year, that probably did not help.

 

[mr. tibbs]

It doesn't look good and at the finish he was looking a bit shaken.

Hopefully that was just a bit of worry and surprise/adrenaline still in him from the fall. Those scrapes do look pretty dramatic, though. May be a rough couple of days in the saddle.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

As much as I don't want Froome to win the TDF, I really hope he is OK and that this scrape will not affect his form.

 

[Cimber]

Screw DL. The most important part is that it wont interfere with his Tour performance. Really hope it wont (coming from a guy who cheer for Nibs and AC)

Yes, I want Contador to beat Froome at 100%.

But now at least we have confirmed that Froome runs on blood.

I thought alien blood were green?

Yeah,all those alien stories,looks like were lied,this guy is not alien after all

Perhaps he should spend more time looking at what is infront of him instead of what is below him.

Hey, with Bakelants points on the line today he moves into second on the Springs competition. So Alberto will be back in his Tinkoff - Saxo jersey tomorrow.

 

[Mellow Velo]

So, Froome comes a cropper on the run in to home.
Looks fairly banged up, so could struggle tomorrow when El Pistolero turns over his big gear in earnest.
Nice, polite thanks to Bertie for not pulling a Movistar.

Westra unlucky to finish second, having done most of the work,but it was either that, or put Bakelants into the crowd.

Another decent finish and another break victory is a victory for the ASO's parcour picking.

 

[slosada]

I hope a guy that goes by the name of Cadel is taking notes on sportsmanship.

More Clinic comments creeping in the PRR section and nothing is done.
Expect the floodgates to open, come July.

Dang! He looks good in green

Funny

Sprints. He moves into second on the Sprints competition.

The Springs competitions are mostly in Belgium.

I don't think that comment had anything to do with the clinic actually. But is toying with the idea of the 'alien' joke.

If anyone brought up the subject it was yourself.

Lol,maybe he will start to look on the road instead of his powermeter

This,and after that not hear any nonsense like 'Froome is better cyclist than Contador' blahblab ,this Tour 2014 proves nothing,as he was injured

 

[murali]

Dang! He looks good in green

He looks better in yellow



I dont think the Froome's injury is serious. otherwise he would have been attended by the doctor.
Winner of TdF following the wheels of his teammates didn't see a pot hole?
either that's the worst excuse, or <c****c>.


i can understand the over-enthusiasm about color of blood. trust me, i too believe that the conspiracy theorists are DoD's ploy to cover up the real color of alien's blood. but please let the alien talk be in the respective thread. no one should come and say "he did, she did" during the TdF stage threads and spoil a decent atmosphere here. Thank you.

 

[murali]

please, let him continue to look at his magic dial. if by looking down he cud hit a pot hole, looking up he might hit road furniture and bring down the whole peloton.

i think this is the reason why the sky riders were laughing. they knew the stock answer that he will give when he loses.

 

[Flamin]

Great win from Bakelants. Lefevre is scratching his head right now.

I'm hoping that you didn't mean to say that massive falls, with attendant injuries and damage to prospects in the race, are desirable. Apologies: now I get the image you were getting at.

Only Vulcans blood, it is based on copper not iron

There you see the level of disarray at Sky, wheels coming of the coach

No what he said was, that he should continue to look down because he feared Froome looking up would cause even more carnage.

He just said it better then my clarification just did.

In that case, you'd make an excellent mod.
