Costa getting a drift on 😯

Carnage!!

Navarro now

big smash at the back

Froome down! Poels handed him his bike

Edit: Thomas’ bike instead

Froome down up again swapped bikes

Froomedog!

Froome went down as he crossed the white line on a bend

Sh!t me!

Looks ok … stage win gone though .. Two team mates

Froome crashed!

‘Kin ‘ell – some road rash

Nasty hill that, very nasty.

Exciting…

who was it made some comment about knowing the tour would be coming your way as there’d be mirror-smooth tarmac newly laid on all the roads

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?

@lunge yes they swapped – froome was sliding along on his back 🙁

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 🙂

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
