Thor Buttox Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 And all the busses have to go up to go down.. that's just mal.. they should just have cancelled the stage or by pass Ventoux..absolutely crazy.The others were heading down on TV, though. Guess it depends where they were staying. They are heading north tomorrow so Etixx probably thought up and over is better. It is one if the windiest places on earth... We were even warned at our little guest house on a 'calm' day in May.

Tubehunter Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Crazy to see how many people are bleating about how unfair this all is on social media! Feel more and more vindicated to avoid social media, as it really seems to attract the lowest common denominator in humanity!
dev null Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Ok ok. I have always supported Froome against the abuse he takes, but never been a supporter of him as such. BUT after the way he has ridden in this Tour, the attacks, the awareness, his gutsy counter today, not tossing his bike, his will to win by running up the hill, but especially his composure after the stage and how he handled the booing and the interview.... I think he is my new guy! So here goes.... Go Froomey!! The South Africaness has rubbed off on him, hey! We never give up, no matter what life and Africa throws our way.
Bloukrans Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I'm not on twitta! What did Froome's wife / fiancée say about today? That was one damn interesting stage
Mntboy Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 No man.. I just mean he is cool enough to be in a team with Sagan.. I've always liked him and have said that if he just left Sky I could publicly like him[emoji6]And here I thought the Bikehub was a public website and not a private club. :ninja: Agree though, Sagan and Gee on the same team could be loads of fun and a shedload of wins!

CogitoErgoSum Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 No hey.. was it really the fans or was it the bikes.. 4.. why did they need 4 bikes Okay I get it the bikes go up to clear the road.. but shees barriers also do thatIt takes just one drunken frog or whatever with a knive to cause mayhem at such close courters. The days of putting up an event of this nature without crowd control are long over. UCI and ASO must accept responsibility - even just a public acknowledgement that they stuffed up, and reprimanding the public for future disruptions, will make some headway. I like Froome, his tenacity and awareness is something else. (I don't like playboys....) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

scotty Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Confirmed Froome has been vindicated, he need only to cross the finish line on or with a bicycle. UCI rules require a rider to cross the finish line with a bicycle. Crossing on foot is fine, so long as there’s a bike in hand. A neutral bike counts.
T-Bob Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Oh No Gerrans broke his collarbone in that crash Again. That thing is made of glass!
Mntboy Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Gotta love this Welsh Dragon on Gee's bike http://images.cyclingtips.com/content/uploads/2016/07/GerCov.jpgI reckon blood red would make it even more impressive!
