Ohh bet that stings
Watched Everest last might and now watching pro riders falling off their bikes - making me very nervous about two of my favourite sports,
Front wheel skid??? Scary.
Navarro must be injured as it's reported he's abandoned. Bardet has a gap on Froome and could be on the podium if it holds
Froome back in the group, not sure who is where is GC wise
They mentioned a slice across Navarros knee, I didn't see it though
Froome on a team mates bike apparently.
GT's bike apparently, round chain rings, that'll feel odd i'd imagine.
Hopefully the adrenaline keeps him going up the rest of the climb...
A touch of the commentator curse 'he only needs to stay upright' which is what has been said over the past couple of days.
No move at the front from movistar, shirley they need to push now?
Jusr got to the Flounge in time for the last fifteen km!
I need a stiff drink! Carnage today!
The bike is Geraint Thomas' apparently. Mollema behind the MJ group, Yates in that group
Bit of a bike size difference probably won't help i guess?
Sounds chaotic - can't wait to watch later!
Have to say app is useless on this most important stage/moment
Cheeky from Bardet, or fair game ?
Costa had a big slide on the line that bought Froome down too, nasty.
Navarro seemed to be holding two sides of a gash together on his shin. Maybe one of those newfangled disc brake rotors.
I'm not writing Angryfroomedog off for this yet.
Yellow jersey group pulling in Bardet/Costa, gap down to 40secs
Bardet - fair game
Great team work from sky, with froome for bike change and working him back ... He's going to take time I think on all his rivals
Epic ๐
C'mon Romain, this tour has been lacking in 90's rave music!
Looking better for Yates if he hangs on, as Mollema is behind the group after a fall...
Virtual GC is Froome, Yates, Quintana, Bardet, Porte
Exciting lots of crashes. froome on the wrong bike, certainly messed things up a bit there
This is bloody brilliant!
I'm also pleased to report that Bacardi 8 on ice is not bad. Nor is the Tribute that's new in the fridges.
Hic.
First stage I have been able to watch a lot of - mainly for scenery - but what brilliant drama
Amazed at no Fr, SP of IT stage winners yet
This is brilliant road racing! Martin attacks! Bardet has cracked Costa
Dan Martin!!!!!!!!! Go go go!!!!!!
FFS how good are Sky, closing it down and neutralising it again.
Brilliant day to have off work
Quintana moving up too, if you're going to attack yellow the day he crashes and is riding the wrong bike is the day to do it. 3km to go.
Brilliant day to have off work
I can assure you I'm very much enjoying this at work with my iPad in front of me!
How steep is that - to see their legs struggling so hard, except Martin!!
Yates struggling now though ๐
EDIT: #OGERocks
Poels and Henao are killing it! Brutal.
First stage I have been able to watch a lot of
That's very careless
[quote=lunge ]Froome on a team mates bike apparently.
Really - strange the commentators haven't mentioned that
Froome moving up, he's got some pain to hand out still.
[edit] or not.
do the face Fabio!
Aru has attacked, Porte up top, Froome and Nairo follow.
Aru has such a horrible pedalling style.
[s]Stephen Mangan[/s] Aru giving it a go now
Just can't believe the other teams let Froome get back on, crazy.Suppose they're fighting for the minor places but jeebus show some minerals
Bit of a split here and Froome isn't the right side of it, he could lose a few seconds here.
Great ride from Froome - big congrats from him to his team mate. Nice.
good stage that shook up the GC and the first signs of weakness from froome all be it on the wrong bike after a crash
How the hell did he manage that?! Froome is a machine!
Froome loses about 12secs to Quintana, Yates has probably held on to third overall with Romain Bardet in second but depends on the gap between Quintana and Yates - 30 seconds according to TdF site.
Adam Yates is one tough bastard!
Not sure it is weakness if he only looses a few seconds on the wrong bike after a crash - pretty epic display i reckon
