Patchelicious Posted July 13, 2016 Share In remembrance one of Britain's greatest riders and a reminder of the craziness of the race:Tom Simpson succumbed to heart failure caused by exhaustion at 17:40 on 13 July 1967 ascending Mont Ventoux.

'Dale Posted July 13, 2016 Share "Froomey and Geraint Thomas came with us. I said, ‘We are too strong. They’re never going to catch us.’ We just pulled very hard and it happened. It’s unbelievable,” he said."Today everybody was like, ‘It’s crazy wind, it’s crazy wind.’ And just crazy wind was last 15km, or 12, I don’t know how much.""It was not planning. It was like, it was dangerous you have to stay in the front. The bunch is going to split for sure. But you go in breakaway with green jersey and yellow jersey and two guys like Bodnar and Thomas, you cannot plan that. It just happened."

Vetseun Posted July 13, 2016 Share So what happens tomorrow?Do the climbers duel it out or do they hold back a touch given that the TT is on Friday?Wouldnt be surprised if the new super exciting Chis Froome opens up a can of whoop ass on the others.

If it comes to a one on one race to the top of a mountain, I think that ColumbianwhogoestoColumbiatotrain might give a Froome a real challenge.

tombeej Posted July 13, 2016 Share Safe to say that the Dawg has won over a lot of new fans this TDF, and that Quintana might have gone the other way with the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
