GaryvdM Posted July 8, 2014 Share Andy Schleck has pulled ripcord and will not continue I wish it were somehow possible to ban either spectators using cameras, or spectators who are stupid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 8, 2014 Share So the Mrs (Schleck) has let me down on (again) on Velogames - luckily I couldn't afford Cav as my wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted July 8, 2014 Share He fell on the same side on the Dauphine.... Hope he hasn't caused damage to his hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted July 8, 2014 Share I am not sure why there is much sympathy for Cav. It looks like he TRIED to cause a crash!!! What do you think when you look at this? AND I remember him doing something very similar last year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H81QHVKKZj4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted July 8, 2014 Share Jeez! After this footage I have no sympathy!! What was Gerran's response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryvdM Posted July 8, 2014 Share Jeez! After this footage I have no sympathy!! What was Gerran's response? Cav accepted responsibility and apologized to Simon, so a public response from Simon was not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted July 8, 2014 Share Cav- he didn't do it on purpose, it was gross recklessness. It's the kind of thing you get criminally charged for if you drive into someone in your car in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted July 8, 2014 Share Cav accepted responsibility and apologized to Simon, so a public response from Simon was not necessary. besides that, its a sprint wtf do you think happens in a TDF bunch sprint? they all stand back and let everyone through? no - its barging and headbutts all the way. This has been happening since there was first sprints on bicycles. no big surprise here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted July 8, 2014 Share Yeah perhaps, but this seems malicious. And again, yes it happens, but I'm not going to feel sorry for Cav. He tried to cause a crash and came off second best.... Was a Senna move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Cav acknowledged culpability with his apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted July 8, 2014 Share CRASH!!! Froome DawgLooks okay Looks like it's the same hip he banged in the Dauphine. I will be seriously bummed if it affects his riding. I've been looking forward to a proper straight shooting contest between Contador - Froom - Nibali for ages now. I need them all healthy into the final week. Just need to get stage 5 out the way with no casualties so we can move on with the proper battles later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have reacted a bit erm... differently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
