Re: Re:

Wow a rogue parasol blows into a he road, luckily the riders avoided it.

Hope they DSQ'd it.

Did it deviate from its line?

 

[MartinGT]

Colbrelli smashed it

 

[MartinGT]

Ooops maybe not, shot his load quicker than me lol.

Demare, Matthews, Gorilla

In their statement it said something about being reinstated!

 

[Son of Amsterhammer]

Although odd, I'd be happy to see him back in.

 

[MartinGT]

Demare gone for the full Green

yes they seem to ask to reintegrate Sagan at TdF, how could that be possible...

I am sure a load of people would be happy with him having a few days rest :lol:

That's obviously not going to happen.

Well, it makes sense that this edition runs through Champagne.

That's equal parts stupid and funny if it happened. I mean he just missed (at least) one stage completely.
Is he riding the stage solo behind the caravan?

Some financial compensation would be possible though I guess.

 

[GraftPunk]

That would open up too many future (and past?!) cans of worms, it won't happen.

financial compensation indeed and I think the decision won't hold :
1° first decision by jury changed in a second heavier decision
2° no contradiction is possible : no hearing of the parties before the decision is delivered

Pichon doing a chasse patate

 

[shalgo]

I think this stage will never end. The peloton will slow down so that they don't catch the break too soon, the break will slow down to save energy for the chase in the final kilometers--repeat that process enough and both the break and the peloton will eventually be doing track stands.

 

[Simurgh]

This is so boring

 

[Simurgh]

There has been a shower in Troyes, and it is still raining a tiny bit as of right now

Re:

I'm a connoisseur of boring bike races, and this stage today is definitely one of the best ever. 4 hours of live tv and absolutely nothing of note has happend except an umbrella blowing on the road causing a few people to have to ride around it.

 

[Son of Amsterhammer]

They really should make this type of stage 100km shorter.

 

[shalgo]

That guy on the tightrope should win most aggressive rider today.

 

[red_flanders]

I think they're going to catch the break.

 

[Lexman]

there's wind so why don't they try to use advantage of it : echelons...
