Will make it better stage i think sid. With winds so strong would have meant conservative riding with riders scared shitless to get themselves alone on exposed part.
Utterly bizarre from Froome.
What’s going on Raymond?
Rowe, Stannard from $ky crashed going down mountain. They were left behind by main group. Froome then decides to go to front of group to tell all to slow down (like Hamilton did in 03) and then even more strangely decides to get off his bike and wait from teammates. Then does the work to bring teammates back when there was absolutely no need to do so.
Hopefully he’ll be fucked for the finish.
I thought there was an unwritten rule of the peleton that no one attacks while someone tries to get back onto the back of the group following a crash or puncture. No?

Well he obviously believes that he needs them for the finale. Must be very confident in himself as the boss man in the peloton if he can tell them to stop racing.
Depends on race circumstances, personalities involved really.
But they were getting back no issue without him. Pointless and complete and utter waste of energy. Extreme naivety at best.
Enjoying Sean Kelly’s dulcet tones as always on commentary

I love the way he says kneee-bali
Maybe he is so doped he thinks he is invincible? He seems much more animated on the race this year.
Dan Martin appears to be falling behind.
Martin is 27 seconds behind Froome’s group with 4km left.
How is there someone from his EQS team ahead of him on the road and not back helping him stay in touch with the leaders?
EDIT: Scratch that, I see he’s dropped back to him now.
Froome has dropped Quintana.
Unbelieveable scenes!!!
Froome’s bike is gone!
Did I just read that he ran to the finish?
Is that even allowed?
The Kenyan blood (and other antibodies) is strong in this one.
