"According to Dane ex rider Chris Anker Sørensen he smashed his leg into a handlebar"

Poor Pinot, so close and yet so far, crying on the bike while he pushes through the pain.

What a drama!

Why are those EF-boys not riding for Uran?

 

[DenisMenchov]

So so sorry for Pinot

 

[glassmoon]

heartbreaking

 

[bigcog]

he's out

 

[sir fly]

Disappointing.
So sad for him.

 

[carton]

EF finally getting some tactics right, methinks. Movistar once more onto the breach. If the leaders have the legs we might be in for a treat.

 

[broppo]

the french direction will probably allow pinot to just start again tomorrow without timeloss. No biggie.

That mechanic is a bastard

Pace is hard enough. Waiting for the flat between climbs to work.

I honestly don't think I have seen something more heartbreaking on live TV

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Danish TV now saying he had a muscle injury due to a crash a few days back, where the handlebars hit his thigh.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Get the cameras off him ffs

 

[Alexandre B.]

He's absolutely cursed.
We're absolutely cursed.

Contador quitting 2014 killed me. You never want to see this stuff and it’s on tv for everyone to see

 

[sir fly]

Well, things are simpler now... Whole France for Alaphilippe.

 

[HelloDolly]

So sad for Pinot especially he had to abandon the Giro last year at the same stage when also flying

And he is such a lovely guy

This isn't California.

same thought, really really sad

 

[Scarponi]

Absolute shame a rider like Bernal doesn’t ride for one of the other 18 WT teams and not the super juggernaut, could have been an interesting race with Pinot out.

 

[meat puppet]

Bummer. Not a consolation for Pinot but mortality makes him likeable vis a vis bots.

 

[staubsauger]

Pinot could've won this Tour de France! He really, really, really could've won this Tour!

He really confirmed himself as a major gt contender in the last 3 seasons. Yet, he gets nothing out of it except a 4th place at the 2017 Giro d'Italia!

Truly heartbreaking, indeed! Really sad to see him suffer such a tragedy once again!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ffs.

Now rooting for Alaf, France gotta win this *** race at one point. Come on! Allez!

Contador was a multiple tdf winner abandoning in the 1st week. Pinot just lost the once in his lifetime chance to win the tour de france two days before Paris. I don't know. Contador was horrible too but this just seems worse.
