'Kaze Pete Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 17:39:31 CESTContador, it transpires, received a heavy blow to the knee in the same crash that saw Thomas abandon. The Spaniard also hit the deck when Nairo Quintana bumped into him on the Grand Colombier. In the end, he fell away on the Mont du Chat and lost 4:19.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Happy Happy for Uran Uran and the #greenmachine ????????????

urbanroyal Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Well that was good.Learned today.1) Richie cant win.

The Bull Shark Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 5) Aru is a douche for attacking when Froome had a mechanical. ...as well as that Nairo. ...not cool ... Nairo has done this type of move before, so we already knew he was a douchebag. And Aru, well, his excuse is that he is an Italian from Sicily.

'Kaze Pete Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 17:48:13 CESTFroome is asked about his mechanical and Aru's attack (from under his raised arm!) - my edit"At the bottom of the Mont du Chat, my gears stopped working and I had to change bikes. Richie was quite instrumental in slowing that group down, saying this is not the time to attack the leader of the race, so thanks to Richie and I hope he makes a speedy recovery."
Bonus Posted July 9, 2017 Author Posted July 9, 2017 Happy with Dan Martin and Main Cheese :-) Not a big Aru or Astana fan. nice to see Froome in Yellow now. The plan can't be to keep it for the whole tour though ;-) As I said on Wednesday . . . . I didn't like him much then, I like him even less now.
'Kaze Pete Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Thomas crashed in same spot as this a few minutes earlier: 14:12:42 CESTThat's exactly the same corner as the one where Herrada et al went down. Thomas is on the floor, sitting up at the moment. The cameras didn't catch the moment of the crash but it looked like a hard one. 14:05:35 CESTA crash on the descent, with 3 riders involved.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2017 Author Posted July 9, 2017 Eish I cannot recall a more dramatic week 1 of a Grand Tour Valverde crashing seems like a lifetime ago!
Patchelicious Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Aru rides for Astana, where he learnt these moves from Nibali. Aru showed his colours today.
Patchelicious Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Valverde crashing seems like a lifetime ago!Bet you Movistar is now really wishing he was still around.
The Bull Shark Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I can't wait for the time to come when the grand tours limit the sizes of the teams to give good riders in the smaller teams a better chance.
