Phil with righteous indignation on the Nibali attack. What about when they attacked Nibali when he was caught behind a crash?


Meh like they waited for Contador when he crashed. Nibali was obvious today though.

lol at the overreaction on here. Froome had a mech. Movistar waited for their leader. No big deal. Everything back together.

Much respect to Contador, Valverde and Quintana for waiting. Nibali goes down in my respect, he may be no threat to the yellow but he has taken advantage of the others sportsmanship.

Although generally I think you shouldn't attack your opponents when they are having material problems, Froome is using the oval ring which increases the odds of your chain dropping a lot. So Froome is asking for it a bit by his material choice.

This is not Quintana showing class, he simply doesn't attack.

And who cares about class, cycling needs more aggressiveness.
