Wez-O Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Chris Froome is now wearing a wrist guard following his crash earlier in the stage. Very worrying times for the reigning champion with an intense cobblestone stage tomorrow.
Patchelicious Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 AND I remember him doing something very similar last year? Here is the last year one. Heard someone called him the Suarez of the Sprints https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ep9biQeACE
'Dale Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Chris Froome is now wearing a wrist guard following his crash earlier in the stage. Very worrying times for the reigning champion with an intense cobblestone stage tomorrow. The thing about injuries are it only reflects the extent of the damage the next day(Unless masked by painkillers)
SwissVan Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 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. No wonder.....he wasn't wearing his spectacles yesterday was he, thats negligence for sure. This sounds Afrikaans to me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-PGsHoVYTk
SwissVan Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 The thing about injuries are it only reflects the extent of the damage the next day(Unless masked by painkillers) Froome will still ride, even if they have to strap his wrist to the bars
Shebeen Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 eina...he lost some skin there he must weigh even less now! Awesome preview for stage 5 tomorrow: that is a good watch....GOD HELP THEM IF IT RAINS!
RockCoach Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 The thing about injuries are it only reflects the extent of the damage the next day(Unless masked by painkillers) The other thing about injuries is the extra recovery energy it takes out of your body. Even slight pain during the night elevates blood pressure and burns more calories.
Wez-O Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 The thing about injuries are it only reflects the extent of the damage the next day(Unless masked by painkillers)Well here is hoping that this is just a little bruising and the guard is a mere precaution.
SwissVan Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 and no surprise .... andy's a goner. Andy has a torn meniscus....guess i would be crying like a baby if it was me. It depends, it can be painfull sometimes...and sometimes no pain
tombeej Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Letour.fr has picked up some comments from Sky directeur sportif Nicolas Portal on the Chris Froome crash. The Frenchman confirmed that the Tour champion did not sustain any serious injury in the incident. "We were scared out of our wits, like everyone else, but after talking with him, everything seems okay," Portal said. "He hit the tarmac hard, but everything's all right. I'm not superstitious, but this is one fall we could've done without."
tombeej Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Garmin-Sharp's Jonathan Vaughters confirmed yesterday that he will have a new sponsor - and probably a new bike supplier - in 2015, but he refused to comment on speculation linking Garmin to a possible form of merger with Cannondale.
tombeej Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 It's an uphill sprint at Cassel, to boot, which ought to help Peter Sagan add to his lead in the points classification. The climb at Cassel is a fixture of the Four Days of Dunkirk, and Arnaud Démare dealt with it comfortably (twice) en route to victory in Coudekerque-Brance on the opening stage of the race this year, a win that set him on his way to final overall victory
