2016 Tour de France

[Mntboy]

Frogman don't go down without

a fight, I can tell you that about

this kid. He's had a nasty crash,

stitches, and a nasty infection. - JV on Rolland seconds before his crash. His reaction to the crash was a whole lot shorter.

Someone said today would be boring?

[BeegMig]

BMC just cant seem to get a break.

[HappyMartin]

Porte is off the back. No idea why. Perhaps caught behind the last crash. Don't think he went down.

Port off. Delayed by a crash

[HappyMartin]

Team waiting for him to ride him back.

What does Karma know that we don't?

He just has such badly timed incidents.

#TDF2016 @richie_porte was involved in a crash. He's making his way back to the peloton now and looks ok. More details to come.

Thinking he should go for the "Adrenalin-sling-shot" leap frog move when he catches up

[HappyMartin]

I'm starting to really like this Richie Froome guy. Keeps plugging away. Clearly buckets of talent.

[Mntboy]

CN reports that Froome ain't waiting for his mate Porte.

[HappyMartin]

Costa won worlds in Italy a few years back in conditions just like this. But I think too much climbing remains for him to take the stage

A never say die Aussie. Clearly loaded up on guts prior to the start of this year's TdF!

Impey uping the pace, working with ASTANA

[HappyMartin]

Daryl helping Astana. Haven't seen much of him the past few days. Looks in good health. Strong.
