Re:

Shoe broken, what do you want him to do? Stop by the side of the road to change it? Can't fault him for this.

Actually, yes, that's what I'd want him to do. But what he did was perfectly kosher as per the (usual application of the) rules.

Still though, why did he need to grab the car to change his shoe?

There's drafting after a crash and taking a few liberties and then there's that

 

[MartinGT]

It's racing man, whats wrong with them? Pffft

 

[portugal11]

Re:

I only recall Nibali doing such a feat

 

[lbennie]

should matthews have waited?

whats the protocol here?

 

[TomLPC]

Is it going to be one of those Luke Rowe leads over a cat 1 stages

 

[LaFlorecita]

The peloton waited, of course Kittel got back on

 

[DanielSong39]

To be fair, slowing down and letting the break go out is a perfectly valid strategy here.

 

[Lexman]

Good move by Trek , 3 men in the break Gogl, Mollema and Pantani. Ready to assist Contador...

 

[Alexandre B.]

Crashing uphill is definitely a Rabo thing.

 

[Finn84]

Sky, Astana and Quick Step only teams not in the break.

What is this Astana Team you talk off ?

 

[jsem94]

That's pretty embarrassing by Roglic...

 

[Robert5091]

UKpostal doing their thang ...

 

[TomLPC]

Contador, barguil and landa to go on the first HC hopefully

 

[TomLPC]

Fair play to Matthews, he's been a worthy Sagan replacement

 

[Frankschleck]

okay that was pretty cool matthews

 

[MartinGT]

Matthews just took the KOM points off TdG

 

[Forever The Best]

Matthews a team player as well. <3

 

[King Boonen]
