Patchelicious Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 What? Brailsford is a PR genius! I'm pretty sure french fans will be falling all over themselves trying to hug Brailsford at the start today...Punching riders because Dave is a chop, should not really be be an acceptable solution though? Blaming Dave for the way the French crowd carries is similar to blaming cyclist for motorists running them over. The French crowd needs to take responsibility for their own actions.

I never said or implied any of that.
HeadDown Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 The impression I get is that where the crowds are hectic, such as Alpe d'Huez, it is very cosmopolitan. Hundreds of cycling fans/tourists have travelled from all over the world to get there. In that crowd there are people throwing punches, pee pee etc. How does anyone know it they’re French or not. Brailsford is pandering to the British public and doing his riders a disservice.

HeadDown Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 "There's an old saying: "You can't always win a race, but you can make others lose." The personality, character and popularity of Thomas, Froome and Dumoulin could well matter more than people realise."

GaryvdM Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Race stopped due to smelly french protesters.... viva le resistance! Let them mix with the protesters. We might get some more pics like this:
Baldrick Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Looks like police sprayed tear gas and blew into faces of riders
Vetplant Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Stopped...All together now... They rode through a protest area...details sketchy..
Jewbacca Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Dunno... they rode through a protest area and some of the riders got 'something' in their eyes, which needs treating. There is no answer as yet, only speculation. I don't like to speculate so I'm going to say the crowd tried to kill everyone with a mixture of smelly cheese powder and cold meat jam....
Vetplant Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 "French farmers protesting, police using tear gas that has got in the riders eyes,all during the race, which has now been stopped so the riders can receive medical assistance"
Vetplant Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Rolling together now, neutral zone for a couple of kms
