I was trusting the words in the tweet.

He crashed earlier and that may be the cause or something else entirely

Bad reaction to the restday bloodbag?

Re:

Hate to ruin a good clinic conspiracy but according to Cycling News Live updates the only visible blood is the stuff coming through his jersey

17:21:33 CEST
Froome is fighting on behind but seems to have injured his left shoulder. There are signs of blood coming through his jersey.

Welcome to the clinic. Froome has a bad day, it's a dodgy blood bag, Froome does well, he's juiced to the gills. Or maybe Froome is struggling because, one, he's had a crash, and two, he's already done a big Tour that he peaked in form for. But do carry on.....

I'm pretty sure it was a dodgy rest day blood bag. He crashed deliberately so that it wouldn't look suspicious.

Even dopers get tired after a previous GT win.

 

[Rollthedice]

Didn't Brailsfraud said after Froome destroyed everybody on PSM something that the other teams don't rest as they should on a rest day and that's why they were not good enough?

BBC Sport's Matt Slater: "When you are trying to do something that only the greats have done, it is a good idea not to do something that usually only happens to dozy amateurs: crashing into a barrier, five minutes into the ride, whilst going uphill.

"Froome answered every question about his bike-handling and racing skills at the Tour de France, only to fluff an easy one he did not see coming on Wednesday.

suggests the BBC suspect Froome too.

How does it suggest that?? All it suggests is that his bike handling skills are a bit cr@p.

My guess is that Cookson told Froome to crash. He can't be seen to be too biased in favour of Sky after all.

 

[Semper Fidelis]

Had to be a bad "program" day.

Either that or they misplaced the super soft pillows that no one can get except team skies. Marginal Gains.

 

[StyrbjornSterki]

Maybe the Badzilla wore off.

My understanding is Froome forgot to detach the bloodbag and was still hanging from his arm.

 

[Chipist]

Nah, sabotage, some other team put some Nutella in his breakfast.

 

[wendybnt]

The itv footage caught Froome taking drugs during the stage. He was hanging off a white convertible at the time

 

[chuckmicD]

Surely you jest about the bloodbag. And that BBC article is a little misleading...he crashed uphill but the pace was picking up and and it looked like a nervous moment.

Unexpectedly poor bike handling skills are a sign of Tramadol abuse.

Probably just pain killers during the race, saw it too, but saw no mentionts of it on the forum before now.

I remember someone mentioning it in the stage thread, I think.

 

[wendybnt]

Actually it was just me joking. It was pain-killer from the race doctor

Nah, im talking about from the Sky car, not the race doctor.
