Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[400bhp]

Froome is the new Badger

Cav on the backseat of the autobus.

That was the late bus. There was an earlier one of similar size at 34".

Of the points contenders, Kittel was in Cavendish's bus but Sagan was in the early one. I don't know if the late group beat the cut-off time, but if not won't there be a points deduction, following previous form?

It'll depends how many French riders were in it

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Congratulations to Froome for always trying something new. It certainly works and confuses the other riders. Problem is, you can only do it once before others cotton on.
Could someone tell me why they need to warm down at the end of a stage? Theses guys have been pedalling for 4 hours + , I would have thought that a massage would be more efficient to relax the leg muscles.

Gets the lactic out of the legs more effectively than massage alone. According to sports scientists, I'm told. All about those marginal gains in performance and recovery.

Is there anything in the rules about hitting spectators?
Has anyone ever been punished for it?
At what point do they draw the line?

 

[StuAff]

Thinking of Hinault decking the guy when a strike demonstration blocked the race, I'd guess no.....and stopping someone from knocking you (or someone else) off should be reasonably considered self-defence.

I enjoyed the stage that much I'm now going to watch the highlights.

I managed not to find out today until the highlights show. Wow. Just wow.

Did anyone see him hit the fan just before the summit imho the fan deserved it espiscally when you don't have to straighten your arm out sort of says your too close to me. Also shocking that he got fined for it 200 swiss francs

 

[coffeejo]

To be honest, I'm more surprised that Froome has finally learned to tuck his elbows in on descents.

The fan might have said something too. A £150 fine is less than what he earned going over the top first
