Froome loses the TDF to a puncture? Meh
and too many seem to be enjoying that fact

People want cycyling and we have a motorbike pacing a group away from the MJ who had a puncture. This isn't cycling, this is gambling. :eek:

This isn't unfair play from AG2R, they'd already launched the race at the time of the puncture so very different from Arus attack last week.

This stuff happens in racing.

Well, the truth is Froome's the only GC man behind, so AG2R's basically riding only against him, and the flat happened right when Froome caught TGV.

People are happy because Sky have far too often drilled it when someone has a mechanical.
At least this time AG2R have the excuse that they were already drilling it before

Froome is closing this down, as expected.

Yep, he won't lose time unless Bardet group steps it up.

Nice paperboy, btw! That's how I climb.
