Tour de France *Spoilers*

[Ganymede]

Those cobbles look HORRIBLE

Like cyclo-cross. Commentators just said that in the Paris Roubaix on this stretch the motorbikes use off-road tyres!

 

[Ganymede]

That's really sad. Personally I'm not a fan, but just as I was looking forward to the Kitten v Cav sprints, I was looking forward to Froome doing his sitting-down-twiddling attacks vs Dirty Berty dancing on the pedals in the mountains.

Me too.

This wet cobblestone stuff is pretty cool. I feel bad for Froome but I am glad I got up early to watch this.

it's cycling. it's tough. get over it.

What will SKY's team plan be now, do you all think?

G or Richie Porte as main contender? As OPQS seem to be trying to get Mark Renshaw some sprint wins?

If it was easy, they would call it football

Cycling's a piece of cake. I do it all the time. It's like riding a bike.

But this is different, we're talking about to watching cycling on the telly (highlights normally). And blathering about it on the net. I've had to get over the disappointment of losing Cav. Now this. I think I need a lie down.

The way he was holding his arm, I wonder if it's a broken wrist.

You'd think it has to be a break for him to abandon.

if you get upset because your favourite cyclist crashes, then you should give up watching. Cav crashing had an inevitability about it, as did Froome today. if you watch cycling you should be used to it, not throwing your (sky branded) toys out the pram.

then again, i supported Euskaltel Euskadi and i'm used to never winning anything.

i'm not fussed by brit riders, i just love the sport.

Why? Riders are taking chances, they have option to ride slower

No they aren't and no they don't
