[jifdave]

Movistar (and Tinkoff) is acting on their best behaviour again by puling the peloton while Froome is struggling to get back

Heard someone say once that Froome's style of riding i.e. always looking at him stem is going to cause him a lot of crashes.

Froome back in the peloton now, thanks to work from Team Sky
updates coming via the Vuelta website, which isnt great.

Reading Sean Yate's book and he says that if something is going to happen, it always happens to Froomey, that's his luck.

Am sure i read a pro saying (i cant rememeber his name) that Froomes problem is he didn't go to the British youth training camps, so really he didn't know how to race a bike properly

That's hardly surprising though is it?

Is there an overview of his early training? I heard he did a lot of turbo training work, is the over simplified view that he trained to put out the watts but not how to handle a bike?

Nah, don't think there is any tv-coverage before 4 o'clock (Spanish time). But I am somewhat following it via tickers (Sporza and Cyclingnews).

ryder hesjedal goes down then the motorbike drives over his bike

 

[jarlrmai]

was he in a breakaway?

 

[tug benson]

Aye

 

[jifdave]

[jarlrmai]

Crafty 2 seconds there all helps when the TT comes around

 

[roadrash]

anybody willing to donate chris froome a pair of stabilisers,

Why *does* he stare at the stem all the time? Somebody must have pointed out to him that it isn't a great idea when in a fast-moving peloton!
