IIRC Camper vans got banned.

Damn you're right actually, quite a while back as well, vintage UCI!

Resting? That dude is preventing the team truck of going down hill with one arm!

You are right. At first glimpse i thought it was the middle finger. Looking again it indeed is the other one.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Steve Cummings suggested Ganna will try for the stage

He conducted the interview whilst looking disinterested and lurking several metres behind cacophony of other DS's.

 

[RedheadDane]

Aaah, yes. Things are normal; Cort is attacking.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Aaah, yes. Things are normal; Cort is attacking.

Doesn't want to be Cort behind.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

He‘s been Cort now though.

Crash
So the break may get away

 

[Salvarani]

Crash!

 

[Laplaz]

Pogi down

 

[noob]

On a straight wide road :O

 

[ppanther92]

Pogi crashed

 

[Salvarani]

Vermaerke broke his collar bone it looked like

 

[ppanther92]

Quintana and Sagan as well

 

[RedheadDane]

Sagan doing an extended Meintjes.

 

[ppanther92]

Gaudu also

 

[titan31]

Feel like that must be the 4th or 5th time Vermaeke has crashed in the Tour so far

 

[ppanther92]

Gaudu actually quite hard. ***.

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton slows down

 

[Red Rick]

It's moments like these that I think of Juan Pedro Lopez who would have charismatically demanded the entire peloton take a pee pee break right this moment

 

[ppanther92]

Thomas also crashed. List is endless.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Oh yeah, that is downright impossible to hit. I think Mathieu should be worth a shot at 19 considering hes looking better.

I've gone for Matthews @ 13, Cosnefroy @ 41, and Lafay @ 51.

Over the last three stages I've gotten 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd. Still upset about how close Taco came on the cobbles

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Feels like every other team leader hit the deck there... About the least expected time for it too.

 

[Salvarani]

Taco!

 

[CyclistAbi]

If it was a crash they should wait for the yellow jersey.

 

[ppanther92]

If it was a crash they should wait for the yellow jersey.

I think they do. Thomas anyway crashed too and WvA waved his arms to wait.
