Roses are red, violets are flowers, the whole of Team Sky, have superpowers... Good, Chris!

 

(What is irregular feeding? Can't find anything in the news?)

 

It's like when you are supposed to eat every 30 min but you eat after 5 min, 13 min, 28 min etc

It's a sad state of affairs when you read 'irregular feeding' and you think 'Oh hell, someone was caught with a suppository on the Mur de Huy'. #strangerthingshavehappened

 

So that's why cyclists waddle like that up that fabled climb when they have to dismount! I thought it was because of their cleats... :blush:

Team Sky's decision to visciously attack after the neutral zone was nothing short of being disgraceful in todays stage. Chris Froome is my selected rider to win the Tour, but one wonders what Team Sky would have said if others teams had attacked Chris if he had fallen like Fabian Cancellara!!!!!!

 

Quote from Cyclingnews.com who quoted Froome

 

"I didn't see the crash, I just heard about it on the radio," said Froome. "There was no message to accelerate, we were front of the race and the commissaires said the race was back on. When race back on, we started racing, then commissaires decided on second moment of neutralistion."

 

I recommend that you watch the stage again to see how events unfolded, other than the actual incident and resulting race refs decision to make the riders wait it was a pretty standard road racing situation with 60km remaining to a tough finish

They were brought back to a hault in any case, so no damage done. There was a lot of confusion going on at that point.

 

I remember last yr the peloton slowed down for Froome twice (he fell twice)on the day he eventually abandoned and he wasn't even in yellow.

Was I watching a different race to this guy? I saw the group being rather respectful after the neutral zone while winding the pace up fairly gradually (by Grand Tour standards).In addition to this all riders including Spartacus were in the peloton following the neutral.

 

If anything, I was disappointed by how the Trek team left Fabian to his own defenses following the neutral.
