Re: Re:

Contador is not a very good bike handler but that uphill crash was very strange. Someone take him down

It was a certain wheel-sucking colombians fault

So do you have anything showing that it was intentional or are you just overreacting?

I have nothing to show but just follow the other people pointing out it was indeed Nairos fault. Probably overreacting though lol.

Re: Re:

Intentional? Come on, I'm sure it wasn't intentional!

Because we didn't see it clearly we can't know. Like I said it looked like the Karpets crash in 2011 and that was definitely intentional.

Oh no, Voeckler caught and making horrible faces again.

Wow Mollema descending like a champ, that's unexpected !

 

[damian13ster]

Feel sorry for Majka. Now does he try to recover and go for KOM or abandon and prepare for Vuelta?

Re: Re:

Tiesj Benoot? He came 3rd in the Omloop, 4th in KBK, 9th in a print stage last week. How is he there?

The second coming of Geraint Thomas!

He has shown himself to be talented at climbing since the Dauphiné in his debut season.

If you don't display any ability to climb in the womb then it's not genuine.

Re: Re:

Landa looks terrible. Good news for aru.

He'll draw a lot of flak from the team. He needed to be good today.

Doubt he cares. He's got an attitude. Sky are robots.
They don't fit.

more your thoughts than fact

True. I'm happy to admit to that. I can only guess.

Apparently Pantano is waiting for the yellow jersey group. I'd have kept him in the front group, he's super fast in a sprint.

Nairo WTF? Taking out Bertie going uphill?

That ugly little chicken ***

actually from the look of the video, Quintana was behind Contador. Contador hits someone in front of him

I want rain!!

Re: Re:

Why the **** is AG2R working?

Exactly. They should be forcing Sky to work whilst relaxing.
Then they can go mental later.

What makes you think Sky would work? Sky would set up a slow pace and regroup, and everything would definitely have been for naught. As things stand now, there's still a tiny chance.

Re:

It seemed to me that Nairo was behind Bertie and Crashcaidor's usual antics held him up. But ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

Yeah he was sucking wheel so hard he hit him......

I agree, it looked like Contador hit the wheel in front of him

Flo, he is awful . I'm pretty sure he wouldn't survive mont du chat

 

[Red Rick]

How about we stop the blame game. It does not matter one bit.

Oh, it seems AG2R has indeed given up.

Matthews pulling a Sagan?

 

[TMP402]

If you were going to intentionally hit someone off their bike, would you do it with tens of fans standing around? I wouldn't.

Don't think there was any intentional hitting going on, but if you were to do it you'd do it on spur of the moment when angry, with no time to think about where you were

Sky need to keep the MJ

 

[TomLPC]

Not his biggest fan but I do hope Matthews wins the green jersey after this

And all the TV cameras??

It's just all the Contador fanboys / girls cluthcing at straws....
