Terrible crash. You have to ask if this kind of descent is really necessary for the race.

OMG I hope Porte is Okay!!!!

Re:

The king is dead, but he will live in the hearts of cycling lovers and admirers of his panache, style and skill! Alberto Contador is a legend. Maybe not to all, but definitely to me

I needed him to win 1 Tour de France post ban

Just 1.

He had 5 opportunities. Never even made the podium. 6 if we include 2011.

Now they will ALWAYS say that he was *** post ban.

This Tour is getting shittier with the second.

 

[Poursuivant]

God, poor Porte, I hope he is ok.

 

[can3478]

Hope Port is OK.

 

[Ruby United]

Hoping Porte is alright at the moment - hopefully he can recover from this.
Such a shame.

 

[Walkman]

Sucks for Porte, looked like a rough crash. Hope he managed without any serious injures!

 

[MikeTichondrius]

That was a horrible, horrible crash. Poor Porte. He went face first into the cliff wall with his bike after sliding across the road. That was awful. Hate to see that in cycling.

So it's gonna be Froome, Aru and Bardet for the win at this point...Man, so many challengers gone with the crashes...

 

[Lupi33x]

Porte bike handling is dreadful
same thing happened at the Olympics

 

[spalco]

Oh ***, that looked terrible.

 

[silvergrenade]

Dan had nowhere to go!
Hope they are okay..
LRP doesnt look good at all

 

[SeriousSam]

Bad crash, Porte's fault, took out Martin as well.

Given that Aru was exposed as weak today, Froome is as nailed on as the winner as one can possibly be.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Why aren't they waiting? Scummy move from Froome et al

Re:

lol Porte karma.

Will learn that you have to use your opportunities

if this isnt bannable, i dont know what is

 

[Rollthedice]

Only one rival left for Froome in this TdF, Aru.

Seriously?
Disgraceful comment. Absolutely deplorable.

 

[Yingge]

Porte isn't getting up. DNF for him. Looks like his error, cut the inside and took Martin out too, though Martin is back on the bike.

 

[Amazinmets87]

This race sucks. I can't wait until Froome ages out

 

[Bolder]

Re:

You can crash out at any time in any place. It's how many risks you take or whether you are paying attention.

Looking at the crash I think Martin unintentionally faded left and Porte had no where to go.

 

[bassano]

hopefully porte is OK
bad one

 

[rick james]

no one like to see these images in our sport

 

[Red Rick]

Dan Martin continued, then crashed again

 

[Lupi33x]

He doesnt know his limitations...

They should sit and wait for Porte to get out of hospital?
