Re:
But he chose that moment because he hoped that those closer in the GC to Froome wouldn't follow him. But if they do follow him then there is a domino effect that hurts the yellow jersey. Contador and Gesink might follow him because they need to defend their positions... because they follow so do Valverde and Quintana...
Each to their own. Personally I wouldn't want to gain an advantage from someones misfortune but thats me.
I'd have more respect for him if he actually admitted that he attacked when he saw Froome have his mechanical. The Kangert story is blatantly BS. Also his "you need to think and use your brain" comment is rich given the bottle throwing incident.
Given all of that I'm still bemused why Froome should be that upset with Nibali. I don't think either of them come out of this well.
sir fly said:I've watched the critical moments again, and can say Nibali was fully aware of Froome's problem, but his attack wasn't directed against Froome. It's irrational to think he'd gain seven minutes exploiting the mishap.
He did use the opportunity, but from different angle. Also, he couldn't make an instant gap, it took him awhile.
