Re: Re:

Barguil DQ. It has to be. Stupid shitbag

What the hell??????

That was in the heat of the moment. If he was pushed by TvG, then it's another story. But if not, it's really bad what Barguil did.

Why? What could he have done differently? Accidents happen. He didn't mean to take down Thomas.

He could just have sat in 6th position, where he was at that moment. But instead, he wanted to overtake some riders on a moment where it was not possible.

Seemed to me as though something happened to Barguil, as he had a foot out well before the corner. Was an accident, that's all.

lets not pretend it was intentional,was is stupid? sure...but lets not act like he is a murderer

 

[Jerkovin]

ITV just interviewed Tinkov, who called Sagan the strongest rider of this tdf and actually expressed real human emotion with a lot of sympathy for Sagan. He even said "poor guy" and looked genuinely sad. Bizarre times.

Re:

He didnt even look back if G is allright. A$$hole.

I'm sure Batguil panicked. Heck im sure he's in shock as well.

Re:

I wonder how fleur would react if that wasn't thomas but Contador.

Accidents happen heh?

I would say RIP Barguil

Re: Re:

The person who should be disqualified is Gesink. Nothing ruins stages more than some bottom rung rider neutralizing stages to protect some meaningless gc place.

*** agreed. Riding like that ruins so much in the Tour every *** year

Re:

Why was Konig brought to this Tour?

He has done absolutely nothing! Very worried for Sky heading into the Alps, there is sickness in the camp!

A promise is a promise!!

Like all other riders that rode the Giro he's wasted.

barquil for red jersey?

If Froome wins this - with yellow jersey pressure early on, negative media, negative actions by stupid fans, a team where his main mountain helpers Porte, Roche, Koenig and Poels have been absent often, and now apparently sickness in the Sky team - that has to be a more deserved/embattled/respected battle than any of the past three Tours I would say.

That's just risky descending. Hopefully Barguil learns, no place in the TDF for that kind of riding.

 

[classicomano]

Lol at all the hate for Robert, why shouldnt he protect his GC spot? Nibali is his rival now. Froome doesnt give two *** about Nibali anymore, hes not gonna chase after him for 1 second.

 

[Psalmon]

Maybe Barguil should have a Rhino painted on HIS bike.

Rightfully sp. Glad Tinkov supports him instead of being his usual douchebag.

Sagan always has to ride against every other rider in a breakaway. It's impossible for him to win and in the sprint there is always someone better.
Today all other breakaway rider should be ashamed.

So the replays my broadcaster kept showing were pretty much definitive. I don't agree with you though. It's probable but not absolute.

Well its possible Tejay did knock Barguil quite a ways before but it didn't have any affect on the corner.

Re:

He are trying to pass 5 riders before the swing, that it's just stupid.

Stupid decision by a poor bike-handler at an inappropriate time and place.
Inexcusable, indefensible, unjustifiable and unforgiveable for a professional
rider in that situation.

 

[Frosty]

Looking at the bottom of the picture, TJ wasnt far off knocking into Quintana

 

[Cramps]

Did anyone see what happened with Gallopin?

Ehm Sky has always been the strongest team... even today he had 3 guys, no other team has more than 2!

Just seemed to be taking it easy on the descent. Don't know if he had an incident and decided to throttle back a bit

Not defending Barguil, but you can see them close together at the start of the clip. Possible shoulder bump happened there and through him off. Otherwise, completely his fault.
