ScottCM Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 He said 'big' names .... :ph34r: I just knew that was coming.... I haven't given up all hope of the guy being able to come back to his glory days just yet.
Gen Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 I just knew that was coming.... I haven't given up all hope of the guy being able to come back to his glory days just yet. Tear in his Cruciate and collateral ligament as well as meniscus as well as scraping of cartilage. . Behind the knee cap Don't think so he'll be contesting Vuelta. . I think this may be the end for Andy And Frank at Trek in any case..
Patchelicious Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Depending on injury, maybe (Hopefully) AndyWho is this Andy that keeps getting mentioned?

Tankman Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 "I think cobblestone races are made for Classics. For a Classic you can chose to ride over the stones, but if you participate in the Tour de France you don’t volunteer to take the cobblestones... It’s just the organisation that puts the cobblestones in and you have to survive it. If you see that Chris Froome is out because of that stage, I don’t think that we can be happy about that." Terpstra, PR winner 2014Interesting that out of the 41 crashes on stage 5, there was only one withdraw. *cough*pissie*couhg*
Shebeen Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 "I was right there when Froome went down. He slid about 50 yards. I'm not surprise he climbed off...He caught a little crack in the road. There was road furniture on the left and he got caught in the crack and it took his front wheel. It was nothing he could do about it. It wasn't about experience or lack of bike handling skills. It was just very slippery and he got caught in the gap and went down. It could have happened to any rider." Horner, witness to Froome Dawg's crashwhere's the damn shimano/garmin cameras now...they should all have them on their bikes mandatory!! I'm being dead serious, they will do it eventually - why not start now?!
jcza Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Could be Sagans day with Kristoff chasing him all the way.
ScottCM Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Two categorized climbs are scheduled at the very end of stage 7- Km 217.5: Côte de Maron (cat. 4), 3.2km at 5%- Km 229: Côte de Boufflers (cat. 4), 1.3km at 7.9% The same distinctive jersey holders as yesterday are on the front line this morning at Place de la République in Epernay: Vincenzo Nibali (yellow), Peter Sagan (green), Cyril Lemoine (polka dot) and Michal Kwiatkowski (white).
ScottCM Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 The 189 riders are in the 9.1km long neutral zone. All of yesterday's finishers signed the starting sheet this morning. Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) is in the yellow jersey with two seconds lead over his team-mate Jakob Fuglsang, 44 seconds over Peter Sagan and 50 seconds over Michal Kwiatkowski. The Italian went through yesterday's echelons with no worries but he might be tempted to let the jersey go to a breakaway rider today in order to give his team-mates a bit of a break before the mountains… Peter Sagan (Cannondale) has tremendously increased his lead in the points classification yesterday as he finished fifth in Reims and sixth at the intermediate sprint in Pinon while runner up Marcel Kittel was out of contention due to a mechanical. After six stages, the Slovakian champion has 80 points lead over Bryan Coquard and 82 over Kittel. After six stages last year, he only had 29 points lead over André Greipel and 40 over Mark Cavendish… Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis) retained the polka dot jersey since stage 2. It shouldn't be too complicated for the Frenchman to go on stage again today as only two category 4 climbs are on the course. Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQS) has the white jersey for the second straight day as a runner up to Peter Sagan. He honored it yesterday by attacking under the flamme rouge. Astana doesn't only lead the individual overall ranking with Vincenzo Nibali but also the teams' classification with an advantage of 4.18 over Belkin and 6.05 over BMC Racing Team?
ScottCM Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 After 6 km all still together but thats not surprising with the avg speed so far of 56.8km/h
