Criterium du Dauphiné, 8-15 June 2014 ***spoilers***

Froome not threatened today except by his own bike-handling - he hit a pothole, crashed and lost a bit of skin. He seems to be okay and the rest of the peloton waited for him so he remains in the lead. We'll see if it's worse than it looks tomorrow...

 

[RobNewcastle]

It would be a shame if it affects him on the climbs tomorrow as it's set up for a great showdown. That said it could easily have been a lot worse, collar bone etc. He didn't look too bad in the interview after but I guess we'll see tomorrow.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

To his credit, he is not in any way trying to get his excuses in, in advance!

 

[RobNewcastle]

Very true, and to be fair it's good practice for the tour when he may have to ride in a similar situation. You just have to get on with it.
