Tour de France *Spoilers*

[thom]

Kittel gets it while Cav gets skittled...
Does not look good for Mark.

 

[edindave]

Looks like Cav's done a Martin.

 

[Ganymede]

Nooooooo.....

 

[Dayvo]

He's back on his bike, but it doesn't look good.

 

[Saluki]

Cav looks in a bad way. I held my arm like that when I broke my collar bone.

Interesting how Froome finished so high up positionally, despite having stayed well to the back of the peloton for a large amount of the lead in.

Cav's colarbone looks gone - it's a bit like Brazil loosing Neymar

 

[I like Skol]

[QUOTE 3164754, member: 45"]I'm afraid it looks like he brought that upon himself.[/QUOTE]
I thought that too, he was pushing/leaning pure and simple in my opinion

 

[Dayvo]

He was leaning in again on Simon Gerrans. He's got to stop doing that.

 

[Ganymede]

THey're saying he was being leaned on first but I'm not sure...

 

[RhythMick]

Great result for Froome.

It looks to me like Gerrans went down first as he was caught sandwiched between Coquard and Cavendish. I think Coquard played a big part in that.

 

[Twotter]

Sickening to watch but looked to be Cav at fault

Geraint Thomas has just done a dream of an interview on Eurosport - to race the first stage of the TdF and then have a relaxed lengthy chat, admittedly with sympathetic interviewers, is rather impressive.

Agree it looks like Cav's fault. His front wheel went under Gerran's rear wheel. He was leaning in, then tried to accelerate out but there wasn't room for the angle he was making.

LeMond said it may well have been Gerrans got his handlebar entangled on Cav's - if so, it was accidental from both sides and almost inevitable something peculiar would happen.
