Re:

This practice of waiting in cycling needs to stop.

For mechanical issues, sure, but for rider mistakes? No way.

They clearly waited for logistical reasons, not moral reason.
Sheesh, people here need to calm down and not overstate things that didn't happen.
A certain guy I know of would call that 'fake news'

Re:

Did Froome lose his other number in that off?

Quick, DQ him!

 

[staubsauger]

Pathetic!

 

[leftover pie]

ugh. . make them earn it at least...

 

[Brullnux]

Even Kirby thought it was right to push on

 

[This Charming Man]

Froome and Aru have a mishap, no attack by peloton, did they not read Greg LeMonds' memo?

 

[Cancelled]

Everyone is too scared of people calling their attacks unfair. It's ridiculous.

 

[RattaKuningas]

AG2R has 3 riders. They could've at least made some pace to make Sky work to get back.

Re:

Froome needs to take a dump for Nairo to attack.

Nope, he'll just wave his arm and the peloton will magically stop.

How many timeouts does Froome get per stage?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

These guys doing their best to make this race as boring as possible.

 

[Highlander]

If Froome crashed and needed medical attention, I fully expect the GC riders to stop near him and wait until he can continue again before resuming the race. We need Nibali who waits for no one.

 

[Kafviar]

More waiting here than in the local club's sunday coffeshop-ride.

2, Gautier is pretty much dead and Latour is a lump.

If only Aru hadn't of crashed with Froome. He would have attacked for sure

There's a difference between waiting and not attacking. The should have gone on. Waiting in this situation is a joke.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Quintana done

 

[bajbar]

This is just sad. They should grab any chance they get... Not look at themselves as a bunch of losers... And Nairo is gone.

 

[Lupi33x]

most likely would've been a futile attack anyway
may have taken 30 seconds only to lose it half way up the 10km climb

 

[Eagle]

Quintana making Contadors double attempt look amazing

 

[perico]

LOL There goes the double again

 

[mr. tibbs]

Twitter and the immediate outrage blogosphere machine have neutered this race. This is literally a Sky parade at this point.

 

[Forever The Best]

Quintana dropped already? He is on a horrible shape.

 

[Rollthedice]

Awful Quintana.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Quitana dropped... I mean he said that his legs are good in the interview that was shown previously. Makes no sense.
