Quintana always looks good I don't get it

Re:

Isn't the going rate for an intentional elbow exclusion from the Tour?

Yes but it is Sky and Froome

Re:

Maybe Aru thought Froome was calling for a drink

With 4 teammates around him, Froome goes back for a drink?
He knew what was happening!

Re: Re:

I'm supporting Froome but this is ridiculous, they should have kept going full gas.

For a relative newcomer to purposefully attack when the MJ, favourite and 3 time winner has a mechanical?
How cycling etiquette and tradition has descended in the last few years.

Sure Hinault never stabbed LeMond in the back in Le Tour. Get a grip!

Re:

Dumoulin would have stopped, taken a dump, then won the stage.

Brilliant!

But, seriously, what ever happened, it's over now, and no one will/can attack Froome.

Re:

Froome is angry

I wonder what would have happened if someone did that to LA.

Re: Re:

Aru's move was not classy but it was completely legitimate so **** everybody else.

I agree, but then why stop. He's already taking the blame anyway, so at least see where it goes.

Because the peloton is a mafia and you don't want to make an enemy of every other contender at the same time.

Fuglsang 26 secs ahead!

Now the move was ****** and boring.

I think part of the reason he stopped is that all the others were just sitting in his wheel

Comparing Hinault and Lemond, two of cyclings all time greats battling it out, to Aru attacking the Froome when he had a mechanical? Get a grip!

Aru will do it again.

 

[RattaKuningas]

No action from GC group apparently today.

 

[El Pistolero]

Yeah, this will be an entire Tour of these losers riding behind the Sky train waiting till they get dropped.

Re:

Porte has to be my least favorite rider.

by doing the right thing?

 

[No_Balls]

Re: Re:

The mafioso Aru attacking was typical. Having Quintana on tow was equally expected.

The two biggest scumbags in cycling right there.

Nairo did absolutely nothing wrong there, he just marked the attack[/

Like lifting with a moto during similar circumstances last year? Its always Nairo first at the douchebag option

 

[Simurgh]

Contador grimacing at the back

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy sh*t, this is pathetic.

 

[hoolaparara]

Well with 5 teams protecting Froome this TDF is clearly over.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador is about to get dropped.

At least you're here to cheer us all up.

 

[LaFlorecita]

No offence but if Froome tried to take out Aru he should be punished.

 

[TomLPC]

How much does barguil need at the top? I hope his descending has improved since that time he almost killed G

Re:

Funny - he's my favourite.
At least, Porte the man is, not Porte the cyclist.

Haha what a bunch of morons. They are all falling for this cheap ass trick by Sky. Aru the lonely one with guts.

 

[silvergrenade]

Contador...He's grimacing so much. God, the pain he must be in!
