You would, wouldn't you? rofl

Ehm Sky has always been the strongest team... even today he had 3 guys, no other team has more than 2!
Cramps said:Has Gallopin had problems with descending before?
I think he lost about 3 minutes in 10km...

Don't know about that, I don't have any trouble forgiving him. It's a bike race, a bike race going full speed down a crazy descent. *** happens.oldcrank said:Stupid decision by a poor bike-handler at an inappropriate time and place.TheQuick said:He are trying to pass 5 riders before the swing, that it's just stupid.
Inexcusable, indefensible, unjustifiable and unforgiveable for a professional
rider in that situation.

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

In the sense that he hasn't lost time yes, but it doesn't feel like 2013 or 2012.
I agree 100%, my friend.MTroon said:Barguil is a menace and a liar. Contact with TJVG? BS! If there was contact it happened before the critical point of the turn. Barguil was in a position on that turn where no rider should have been. He put his foot down because he realized that everything was going wrong with his approach. He is a disgrace. The last time I saw a rider with so little regard for the safety of other riders he had just been punched in the head and was lying in a ditch. We haven't seen him since.
Did you not see plateau de beille, Porte dropped everyone but Quintana and the took the time bouns off himTMP402 said:Eagle said:His team have been great so farTMP402 said: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.

Yeah, you are missing half the members here are insane.djpbaltimore said:I don't see how the race would've been any different if Gesink was not in the race. The criticism seems pretty hyperbolic. Am I missing something?

Poels was pretty spent, Porte was dropped on the final climb, who knows if Thomas won't DNS tomorrow.
