Combativité award to Barguil! If that wasn't aggressive riding, I don't know what is!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Have to say Geraint Thomas is earning huge points with me. Fucking smashes into a light pole at 50 mph or so and is back on his bike flying down the hill.

Meh feel sorry for Thomas for crashing but still that will probably weaken Sky and give some drama to the race. |

Barguil doing this is the perfect example. No regard for anyone except for himself.
Selfish or stupid. Both, probably.
Yeah but he's a kid who knows he is moving into the top 10 and let the adrenaline rush, all he did was overcook the corner which isn't a respect thing but a mistake
Still, it's something you never would have seen 30 years ago.
He didn't even look back or whatever, just crashed Thomas in the ground and stepped on his pedals.
That equals zero respect for me.
They say Thomas is back on this bike, but that makes no difference. This could've ended very badly, and then Barguil would've send a flower to the hospital and be happy he finished top 10. |

No sprint from Froome, boring.
Big up for Thomas after seemingly nasty crash!

nibali is not a threat to froome, but i don't think movistar is riding to defend valverde's position in the GC. if you want to try to win the tour, let froome do his job on the descent, either attack him or stay on his wheel. not babysit him. |

Thomas and Sutty are both welsh. sutty also a huge nationalist, think that explains everything that needs to be said.
unrelated, Barquil is kinda lucky that Thomas was there to save him, Barquil had no chance to make that corner. not even close.

If not Thomas had been in the way, Barguil could have crashed really hard.

they also were all on drugs and racing harder 30 years ago. Never would have seen a group like this full of riders who care about the stage result.
You know in 10 seconds if the guy is hurt or not, somehow Thomas wasnt hurt and thus why Barguil didnt wait. I can guarantee if Thomas was fucked up he would have stopped. You saw the video of him right after it happened.

Sometimes losing 15 seconds is better than crashing and being out of the race.
Why should Valverde attack while there is Quinto in the group.

Good to see Thomas back on the bike quickly.
Sagan though.. Well  I really hate watching those downhill beasts. No offense, it's just me not able to imagine that it's possible to go 100kmh on a bike and still knowing what you are doing there.
