What should happen to C.Froome/R.Porte/Sky for getting food on le Alpe d'Huez?

 

[l.Harm]

5 minutes each rider

 

[wwabbit]

He has to be spanked by LaFlorecita.

 

[Netserk]

DQ 'em both.

 

[Afrank]

What's the usual penalty for taking food? Just follow the rules and give him that. I don't see it as a big deal really, so he took some food, so what? Not like it gave him a big advantage over everyone else.

 

[Pippo_San]

They should force Froomey to wear a clown suit in the final stage.

Announcers gave the impression that it is a fine. I agree. Follow the rules, thats why they're there

In the Giro Rosa/ Femal Giro D'Italia a woman got dq'ed for doing it

I'm gonna be biased as I'm from London, and say he should just be fined money.

Simon Clarke is doing that anyway

 

[the sceptic]

10 minutes would be nice

Interview on Eurosport Saying that the Sky team car had a mechanical and was not with the group at the bottom of the climb...

so? I'm sure the team car was back long before 5 km for the finish when eh took the food

 

[Chaddy]

ITV think Froome has been given a 20 second penalty.

If that is the case then I think they should go easy on Froome.

 

[Morbius]

The same as Roche got in 1987 - 10 seconds

 

[LaFlorecita]

Disqualification!! No for real, nothing

 

[Ruby United]

Yeh, but he means that Froome couldn't have gotten at the allowed time at the base of the climb because the car wasn't there, so he had to get now.

they were screaming in the tour radio from the jury so I'm sure they were p***** at it, we will see

Meh.

20 second penalty. The end.

 

[Alphabet]

Disqualify them all!

 

[dwyatt]

I think froome should be given a lifetime's supply of energy gels.

 

[roundabout]

Meh.

20 second penalty. The end.

Yes. He got a 20 second penalty. End thread?

 

[The Principal Sheep]

20 seconds is next to nothing, was there a fine with that?

 

[luckyboy]

Sky should be thrown out of the WorldTour for this.

Seriously though, he would've lost more than 20secs if he didn't get any gels

 

[forkboy84]

Isn't 20 seconds what Mollema got earlier in the season for a similar offence? Seems that the precedent exists & anything more than 20 seconds would be harsh in that context.

If not the precedent I think the penalty should be at least a 1 minute penalty.
