Tour de France *Spoilers*

[rich p]

Frame snapped!!

He has a slight frame, but still....
That won't do carbon sales figures much good!!!

 

[HF2300]

Lost four minutes - and now called for the doctor again

 

[Dave Davenport]

You can't just find the nearest forge and fix a carbon frame, they'll all be back on steel by next year.

 

[The Couch]

He was/is pretty messed up: knees, shoulder, back all touched.
And he is climbing even more crooked than otherwise, his teammates often have to slow down a bit

Sherwen says Contador left 70 metre skid marks in that crash. Apparently the road was quite marked up as well...

Must have been on a bit of downhill then.

 

[Cuchilo]

That won't do S-Works carbon sales figures much good!!!

The live elevation route was on an uphill but who knows...

 

[jarlrmai]

I bet every industrial xray unit in France is booked up tonight.

 

[jarlrmai]

Sky and Astana upfront now.

 

[The Couch]

By the way... Machado has apparently also seriously crashed, was going to quit, but was perspuaded by the team to continue.
However, even if both can finish this horrible stage, this will be a slaughter of a day (GC-wise)

 

[fossyant]

Can't see a thing now. Mist.

 

[andrew_s]

Frame snapped!!

Causing the crash, or as a result of the crash? Or not known?

 

[accountantpete]

Abandon

 

[HF2300]

Contador abandons!
