Shame he tried to minimise his losses.

 

He is a handy rider, can TT so he'll make up time if he isn't too badly injured and if Sky don't decide to pull him from the race to get the focus back on babysitting Froome for the TDF.

 

There are only a few Sky riders that I like.. Thomas is one of them..so a pity this happened.. I reckon he still would've lost time today regardless, but it wouldn't have been as much obviously

No fan of Sky at all but I admire Thomas immensely.

Go. Chris. ????

Nairo is on a different level though and that's partly my issue. Cuddles got dropped easily. Nairo doesn't get dropped. He's free to race how he wants, I don't particularly have an issue with it other than the fact he's boring to watch. Just be a tad more aggressive, lad.

Like going with 7.8km to go. Very boring.

 

Just out of interest, is Froome exciting to watch?

What do you mean he can't be classed a wheel sucker?

 

Of the current GC contenders, he is the biggest wheel sucker.

JaJaJa.

 

His team is there to work for him. From 50+ km to go it was all MoviStar.

 

Great win by Nairo the wheelsucker, cracked everyone by sitting behind them.

Froome? Are you kidding? How many Tour De France winners have you see sprinting awkwardly up a hill without a bike?

Great stage at last. And as a bonus the best Sky rider lost 5 minutes.

 

TD was amazing I thought. Like that big Dutchman more and more.

Not so big any more. Class bike rider, no matter his size.
