Mntboy Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Sure. On an unrelated note. I'd stock up on cleaning agents if I were you. Especially those good at removing fruit sediment from walls, floors, ceilings and beds.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] It's a good thing I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that!

Headshot Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Today is the Froome big move day. My TDF fantasy team is one rider down but we're on the move.
SwissVan Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Thinking about today's stage, the Afrikaans saying comes to mind: "Vandag gaan die koring van die kaf geskei word".Ja... or as us commoners sayVandag gaan die *** spat TBH I hope something exciting happens and it’s not all left to the TT... everyday waiting and watching for the GC riders to fight it out and nothing much happens irritates me
Vetplant Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Today is the Froome big move day. My TDF fantasy team is one rider down but we're on the move.Biggest question is probably who is gonna pop today... We know the moves are gonna come, but who is gonna drop out of Top3, Top5 and Top 10....
Spoke101 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Dude, he did one cartwheels... by the time he hit the wall he was doing no more than 20kph. If he was doing 90 he would have landed on the other side of the valley.I was talking about when he was entering the corner not the actual crash as he grabbed the brakes. He had to scrub speed because he was a) carrying too much and b) was on the wrong line through the corner. Had he been carrying less speed into the corner he might've been able to save himself from crashing. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk I had a good few looks at the crash and recon he got a big oh $hit surprise and for that split second was deer in the headlights.If he had not unclipped and kept his weight back over the rear wheel thus not doing a nose wheelie he just might have been able keep himself road side of the wall.
ScottCM Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Wonder if they'll turn that into Salbutamol Gate 2.0... suppressing pain No chance of that happening, everybody like the Wolfpack.
SwissVan Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 So rumours are that Gilbert was on pain killers pre crash... May have even caused the crash.Nah... he just overcooked it and was riding to fast Blame it on the top tube aero racing position according to LA.... lol
dev null Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 NQ to lose lots today. He seems only to be good at short attacks. Today will be one long attack.
Shebeen Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Today is yellow for Froome I reckon. He may have ridden a few GTs but he has ridden very little else. Third week Froome legs are impressive and I think he has better 3 week stage race control with lower fatigue than the others.Froome's time loss to the Gee = 1:39stage 1 crash - 51secsstage 11 win - 20secsstage 12 win - 4secstime bonus credits - 19secs So on the actual road, GT is only 29seconds ahead, and a lot of that can just be tactical. The Giro-Tour double is almost impossible to pull off, maybe the extra week made it happen but I don't think anyone knows what is really going to go down...which makes it that much more enticing!

Gen Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Right after a tough few days. I am ready for the stage today. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Gnarly Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Thought Froome was going to attack yesterday? .......... I'm guessing he will just sit GT today again.
Slowbee Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 when do we start in SA time today ? need to make sure I am home
Mntboy Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Thought Froome was going to attack yesterday? .......... I'm guessing he will just sit GT today again.I am not sure that this is a sit and do nothing stage. I, for one, am expecting lots of drama today. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
