Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[mjr]

Twitter #tdf (I've got www.showtweets.com in a small pinned window) is currently retweeting WTF again and again with the vid from the moto... I'll be amazed if this result isn't corrected.

Well, that was different!

Well I guess I got to see someone on a yellow bike..
Poor Froome, I assume the Prudholme will be a busy man.

I'm sure it must have been caused by stupid spectator. They were still running alongside after the event.

I must admit that I was at the point of shouting at the TV

How long would it be before they would make any announcement? If there is going to be one.

To be fair, they wouldn't have known what happened.

If the result stands Yates is in yellow

Not the first time this year the motor bikes have caused an issue.

Not the first time this year the spectators have caused an issue.

Be interesting to see what action the riders take. Who is their rep this year?

Maybe they'll only race where there are no cameras and no spectators?

What a shamble!! Something must be done about controlling the crowd and also reducing the number of motorbikes. Froome and Porte must be fuming and deservedly so. Don't know what the organisation of the Tour is going to do but they must revise the time gaps surely.

I suspect we'll see Froome and Porte awarded the same time as Moellema. Sorry for Yates!

 

[Bollo]

Too many so called fans more bothered about getting their fecking hashtags on the gogglebox rather than actually experiencing the race. English king from 1016, the lot of 'em.

Nice bit of skill from Froome, putting the broken bike up against a TV moto and giving him a few seconds respite before another TV camera caught up with him.

Provisional GC puts 1st Yates, Mollema +9s, Quintana +14s.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I'll likely get shot down for this but what a great spectacle. There's much to be said for Mario Kart Pro Cycling.

Hmmmmmmm I disagree.

Stuff happens.
