TdF chat - ***SPOILERS***

[Fnaar]

After yesterday's fall and 2 falls today... out he goes!!!!!

Mod Edit - this is referring to Froome - this info was originally in the thread title

Naughty, naughty Fnaar, spoiling the highlights later for other folks.

Stage 5. With approx 60 km left in the stage after 2/3 falls today

 

[Glow worm]

Yep I just saw him get picked up off the floor (I'm on a tea break- honest!). He looked absolutley battered.

 

[SteCenturion]

Just heard it live-'ish on Talk Sport.

Working so couldn't watch it.

I said to a race fan colleague yesterday, "I don't think Froome or Sky will do anything this year", meaning anything in any Grand Tour.

 

[Fnaar]

Yes, my 'lunch-break' also allowed me the opportunity to see all today's ITV coverage so far... will have to miss some though...in order to cycle home later

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Naughty Fnaar, no spoiler alert!

 

[Beebo]

Spolier alert, get the title changes asap

 

[ianrauk]

Yes thanks for spoiling it for those that are at work and cant watch it until tonight

 

[ianrauk]

Thanks for the spoiler FFS

 

[Archie_tect]

Thanks Fnaar, seems that hype expectation and marketing is no protection against the Law of Sod

...talking of spoilers, anyone not heard the Brazil/ Germany score yet?

 

[TissoT]

Think he has some major pain/strain on his left hand/wrist or elbow ....
bit of a blow for sky !

 

[MisterStan]

Spoiler alert?? Cretin.

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

Although I'm sure Wiggins will say all the right things in public, I bet he's sitting at home splitting his sides with laughter!

 

[Spoked Wheels]

Think he has some major pain/strain on his left hand/wrist or elbow ....

RIght hand

What a shame.

You know how people say "I hate to say I told you so"?............well, I don't hate saying it.

Both crashes highlight the fragility of an "all-your-eggs-in-one-(Froome-shaped)-basket" policy for the TdF. Say Sky lose Froome to a crash in the first week...........what happens then?

So, the wisdom in not having Wiggins in the team: how's that looking now?
