ONLY cracked ???? So that not bad enough. It says fractured and there are different grades of fracture. Whatever, he still tried to continue when he could gave got in the car immediately after losing 4 minutes on the side of the road.

The 3V is in relation to the number of stages the rider was won, not the version of the bike.

 

Cancellara rides with 4V.

What I wanted to say - that the number 31 was genuine to AC's bike for this year's Tour

Jip, he didn't feel the pain.

 

True story....

I fell off my MTB a few years ago - on my knee. It hurt as hell and then the pain went away. Thought it was nothing. Cycled home for the last 5 km or so. And then it REALLY started to hurt. X-rays revealed that my patella was split into 2. Fractured. Was screwed back together again.

Contadors spare bike which was on the roof and hit one of Belkin’s bikes on its roof racks.

But then why does his spare bike have his race number on it?

Hope i am wrong and we still get a fight but all I see is Nibali increasing his lead in the GC on those stages

ja, i'm not buying it...they say they drove so close to the belkin team car that the bikes touched...surely the wing mirrors would hit first.

 

secondly there's a transponder on this bike too. surely spare bikes don't have a race number and a transponder.

 

 

the final outcome is that, ALL bikes should have garmin/shimano/go pro videos on them, all on record. would be awesome for the highlights package to have all this video. they should just do it already.

Exactly! I don't see any of the guys currently close to Nibali riding away from him on those mountains.

If only Spez's PR department were half as decent as their bikes. That must be the worst excuse I've heard.

 

Just say it; hit a big pothole at 70km/h, crashed heavily and the frame snapped. No one believes carbon to be indestructible. It happens!

ja, he's surely the favourite, especially on yesterday's showing, but there are four mountain top finishes. He needs one bad day and he's further back than floyd landis at a whiskey bar. FOUR MOUNTAIN TOP FINISHES!

 

forget froome vs wiggins, not bringin Quintana was a serious f@#$ up of note by the picos.
