Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

And Yates.

I think Quintana's running about the same time as Yates. Just finished at 18th, so yes. Yates due in soon so let's see.

Froome getting some sporadic booing

 

[coffeejo]

They would not have seen the crash footage and would have seen Quintana come in ahead, and the first release of the race time ... so they would think it was a fix ..

which you still might think, but the moto/crowd responsibility would not have been very clear at that point to spectators.

Listen to some people loudly booing Froome today as he rides past them in the TT.

Phew, I didn't jinx the lad!

Yates seven seconds faster than Quintana, so not much in it.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Froome takes 2 minutes on Yates and Quintana. 1 min on Mollama

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Froome 2nd, Dumoulin 1st

Or something like that

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Valverde only 18 seconds behind Quintana in GC, will be interesting to see if he decides he's still number one and stop supporting Quintana.

That is one sunburned kid standing behind in the Gerraint interview!

Apparently it is to be one single ceremony where all the riders bedecked in jerseys make an appearance.

 

[Hont]

Bauke Mollema has a very aerodynamic nose.

A minutes silence observed on the podium.

It does make me wonder if the tour will be a furure target, but only time will tell I guess.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I mean, I guess the finish line and so on will have security, but it would only need someone to perform a well positioned/timed attack at one of the bits with little or no security....

Froome takes 2 minutes on Yates and Quintana. 1 min on Mollama

So...

Even if the result had stood, Froome would only have been 53 seconds down on Yates, and I wouldn't have been surprised to see him recoup all of that in the TT tomorrow.

Yep, he would indeed be back in yellow even if yesterday's result had stood. Although Mollema would be a much closer second, something like 15 seconds down.

Trouble with thinking like that is that you'd never leave the house again. But eventually die anyway, alone.
