The problem with the Tour de France is that it's so boring. The ultimate winner takes yellow early and all the racing is really conservative. Just a procession of skinny blokes going up hills.

There provision for this would be if the Commissaires rule it to be caused by the Moto. But that's only under certain circumstances, and I'm not sure of the details. I guess we'll find out soon.

It will be disgraceful if they don't sort it.

Boardman really does come across as a cool head about these things. Balance the safety and racing against the atmosphere created by the crowds. No "ban them all now" polemic from him.

What a shambles. It will be disgraceful if times are allowed to stand without adjustment......

I am full of admiration for Chris Froome. He is of the same mould as Merkcx, Anquetil, Hinault, as great champions. He is clever, intelligent and an opportunist. He can read the race and act accordingly. I think he has already won this tour and will win more. Quintana on the other hand lacks some of those qualities. He is too conservative and not as strong as we might think. He will never win the Tour.

I don't think the nobbers running alongside helped, and I'll bet one of them got in front of the moto, but really it was ludicrously crowded - at points there was hardly room for anyone to cycle let alone pass or attack. Boardman's right though - a knee jerk reaction isn't what's needed to a complex problem.
