I reckon it's so that Thomas gets tested and Froome doesn't so he can keep "pushing the boundaries" for as long as possible...

My cynicism meter didn't even twitch then. I reckon you've already broken it though.I reckon it's so that Thomas gets tested and Froome doesn't so he can keep "pushing the boundaries" for as long as possible...
After going over the Nibali fall pixel by pixel I thought I’d relax with a visit to the Clinic. As you can imagine, the current standings have them vexed.
Yeah, I only occasionally pop in to riders’ twitter feeds, but in amongst the needle and angry face emojis there were quite a few Bardet haterz. It was total chaos so I doubt he even knew Nibali had gone and, even so, it’s the top of Alpe d’Huez FFS.

I find it strange that people who are supposed to be fans, well logically they ought to be to either ride halfway up a mountain or drive a motorhouse halfway up, only to take a long pole that they hang a flag off, just so they can deliberately block the view of the riders.

Yes, I did. He probably couldn't believe his luck when Froome let a space open up on G's wheel... and then couldn't believe his luck when his gears failed him. Has he dared either admit his mistake or blame his sponsor's equipment à la Cav?

boardman and imlach pointed out that Nibalis crash was just going into the barrier section , and even though there was a police presence , many spectators were on the wrong side of the barriers and quite a way into the road ,while the police did nowt about it.
they also said prudhome accompanied Nibali to hospital and that Nibali had asked for the timings to be altered as they were when porte hit the back of the motorbike and froome was running without a bike, his request was refused.

And let off smoke flares FFS.
Would you want to ride up a mountain through a smoke flare? No wonder they all have asthma.

Fortunately there is clear footage of the thug who tried to push Froome off. Hopefully the race organisers and police will id and catch him if they are serious about ensuring the safety of all riders. What happened to Nibali was shameful. "Fans" letting off smoke flares was disgusting. Police should have stopped and arrested them.

So you think it's acceptable to block the road, hit the riders, block their vision etc?
