The crash didn't look that bad. It looked like Froome landed in a somewhat safe way without hurting any bones. |

Damn what happened? Now I missed the fall, thought I'd tune in a few hours later to avoid falling asleep  . |

Need some Failured footage. Havn't seen the crash.
Froome, hmm, too bad for him and I'd hate to see the Tour decided this way... but honestly, what's up with that guy recently? I mean, we know he's awful at bike handling but he avoided crashes since he turned to Super Froome. Now to two crashes within a month.. go figure.

Not his fault this time. Some guy in front of him, possibly Bretagne Seche guy (not sure about it), somehow moved the bike and slowed for a second, which made Froome's front wheel touch that guys last wheel and caused the crashed.
It doesn't look that bad guys, I don't know why you are all saying that his Tour is finished by this.

Alright, thanks admir. Like I said, havn't seen the crash. Froome should be fine when the mountains come anyway. Adds further flavor to the cobblestone stage tomorrow.

Good quality gif of the crash that you can even zoom in on (click and drag to zoom).

Froome down? Why i miss the most important things all the time. 
From the GIF (thanks to it), it looks like he hit ground pretty hard with his hip...

Thanks Ian. Yes, hard to the hip, but Froome should be fine.
It kinda looks weird how he falls though and how he gets up due to his bodyshape, looking bit like a Tripod straight out of War of the Worlds.

why are you trying to attack my poor Bretagne team, you can clearly see it was an Orica GreenEdge rider which caused the crash

My apologizes. I said that before I watched and replayed the video few more times. Go Bretagne!

Unfortunately those type of crashes happen all the time, he is lucky he didn't break a bone or something though  |

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Froome is hurt? Cost him TdF victory, because of a minor crash?
What's wrong with you, can't you spell:
TRAMADOL
Spoiler Froome bot is up and running again. Due to the new tramadol software Froome bot started 5 % faster than before tramadol.exe was installed.

I just realized something good about Nibali wearing yellow, we don't have to look at that unworthy tricolore

Ya let Nibali hold that yellow to the end so we don't have to look at that absolute horrible made National jersey and serious Italy you are the country of fashion and you give out something like that.
Whats wrong with you Italy

No Astana doesn't want a Italian tricolore kit |

What if this was Astana's plan all long? Give Nibali a really ugly jersey so he'll have extra motivation in changing it with yellow

Pity about Andy, I was looking forward to seeing him go over the cobbles.
Gonna be fun to see if Cav actually does take legal actions against Kristoff
