Thomas mechanical...

 

[glassmoon]

Birdsong down!
not looking good

 

[Finn84]

Fuglsang without helmet so is it over?

 

[KZD]

Fuglsang out.
What a terrible Tour for Astana.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Broken hand or wrist it looks like.

Aaaand he's out.

Tony Martin looks like he is about to enter rhabdomyolysis. I worry for him.

He's about to enter... what?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

Symptoms include "weakness", Tony is pretty safe.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

- on the plus side, add Cort to the favorites for tomorrows stage and Lutsenko for the first mountain stage.

Disappointing to see Fuglsang out of the race.
Unlucky, really.

The bridge's there, but no river.
... Fishermen and swimmers don't mind.

I thought it was joke about a nasty long term ailment suffered by riders who go to R(h)abobank to end their careers as domestiques

 

[glassmoon]

Why isn't Bennet saving himself for Crushweak?

 

[glassmoon]

Nairo Quintaning?

 

[Scarponi]

Caleb came from so far back!

 

[Wvv]

Viviani waited too long again. But Ewan the strongest anyway.

 

[glassmoon]

Ewan fastest

 

[Scarponi]

That was impressive asf

 

[RedheadDane]

So... does that mean Ewan is the sprint-king of this Tour? He's got double as many wins as the other sprinters.

 

[jaylew]

Ewan definitely the fastest at this Tour.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Perfect DQ lead out again, but Viviani doesn't have it..... probably worked too hard in the pyrenees.

Groenewegen lost the battle with Sagan for the wheel on the DQ train, so never got there.

Ewan clearly fastest, despite Richeze forcing him to take the long way round.

Re:

Ewen's sprint was fantastic. DQS's lead out was impressive as well. Great drilling and fitness by those guys. Viviani though...

The king will be the one winning on Champs Elysee, as that is the big one

 

[Scarponi]

If Ewan gets another one or two for a bloke that was written off to obtain two Giro and 2 plus tour stage wins in a year is amazing

 

[Alexandre B.]

Richeze caught again blatantly trying to ruin another’s rider sprint.

 

[JosephK]

Caleb with another excellent finish and win. Well done. There are no easy stages on the Tour. Sad for Fuglsang, though the damage for him began on the very first stage. At least he's had a great classics season and spring.
