Although I can't stand spectators like this, I think a night in jail is a bit over the top for 'throwing crisps'. Heck, Froome was having urine chucked at him back in the day!
I think they have to in this case—the whole world saw it—and the totality of cycling fans will see there are consequences (some of the time) to that kind of behavior.

I have been watching Healy since he started his WT career, so I think, I have a fair handle on his characteristics.. And my post stated that Carapaz was EF's better option for today's stage.

I have been watching him too ...even before he turned pro

Beille awaits. Perfect conditions for big differences. Lovely weather.

Break not gaining enough time, still a few kilometers to take some but it will be hard.

Well my view si Healy can be a very good GC rider as well as an Ardennes rider ...just like alot of riders these days (btw Sean Kelly agrees)


why would you or anyone else think he cant be when you see how he is climbing in this Tour ...yesterday or galibier for for instance

and his TT last week

this is his second GT and I cannot see why not ...if Remco can be a GC rider then so can Healy

To me he is the Irish version of Fuglsang - he climbs quite well, has a passable TT and is very durable (but can't sprint to save his life).

He might very well decide to be a GT GC rider, but then will rarely break the top 10 in a GT, and never the top 5 - and would get a much better career focusing on hilly classics and 1-week stage races.

Hopefully this showdown isn’t as one sided as the Wimbledon final

(Mod edit: spoiler for another event.)
