Kirby said: "... might be Bouhanni, might be Swiftey, might be somebody elsey."

I heard this, then settled my rage by convincing myself he said "...somebody else even."

He also said in there, "might be impeyyee"

 

[Arredondo]

Arredondo really has got a lot of back luck this year

[hfer07]

Bouhanni taking not Sh!T

 

[TMP402]

Haha what were Sky doing?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Tremendous leadout performance by Geoffrey Soupe here.

 

[Jspear]

Very interesting final. The climbers were there for a moment.

Re:

Dunno, but they cost Swift a good placing.

 

[Tonton]

Nacer X2. Impressive.

Every man for himself....Old school stuff

 

[Gigs_98]

Would be interesting if this finale would have been too hard for Kittel

[Isaak-Gabriel]

Nacer Bouhanni is the best sprinter of this VCC but he must do straiter sprints.

Sky was stupid. Froomie can't mix it up with the sprinters, but it looked like that is what they were trying. I don't think Swift would have won, but he definitely would have been much closer than Froome.

CF: Ben? Why didn't you sprint
DT: That was me, I sent Ben for bidons
CF: Dylan, you welshmen are going on my nerves
DT: I am here to help you, Froomey

I don't expect Froome ot lead out Swift but surely Thomas & Poels could have helped ...

 

[del1962]

I was expecting a bit more of a selection before the finish, but it seemed a bit tranquillo

Re:

Of course Froome shouldn't lead Swift out. I'm not blaming him, it was a bad team effort.

Froome finished 15th.

 

[HelloDolly]

And OGe were far worse than SKY


As for Froomes voice comments ...its obvious he is speaking with a broader African accent ...hence the tone

Yep, Thomas being a Track Specialist and all
