Good thing these attacks are all failures.

 

[Confrontation]

Richie Porte, the vacuum cleaner.

 

[yagal]

Some desperate attacks right now.

Indeed

 

[RivalCore]

Sky are shutting these attacks down! Rodriguez is doing great though.

 

[Linius]

Well there's Vanmarcke. Hopefully he can bring Gesink back.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Sky are just too strong.

 

[Linius]

Man these attacks are the worst. Gesink can't get back like this.

EDIT

Lost a minute all in all. Hopefully that's it for bad luck now.

 

[Ruruja]

Nice win for Rodriguez.

Disappointed in Froome's rivals.

 

[Hawkie]

Great ride from G today. Very impressive.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Nice that the Mario Bros. made a cameo.

 

[Confrontation]

This Tour needs more fans dressed up as Doctors/Surgeons.

 

[Psychotext]

On a general note, I fucking hate the aggressive aspect of TDF crowds. Jostling the riders and screaming in their faces is massively disrespectful.

Stuff like the gif is fine on the whole, but you see so many people desperate to get themselves on TV getting in the way or riders and generally acting like wankers.

French police needs to be much tougher on climbs, just beat a few up, should help things.

 

[Confrontation]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! BELGIUM BABY! Greg deserves it so much as well.

 

[waypoetic]

Wow. That was unexpected! I thought Sagan had that one... Well, that's cycling for ya! Anything can happen

 

[RivalCore]

Is Sagan cursed to be forever in second place?

 

[Confrontation]

Is Sagan cursed to be forever in second place?

15 times now I think.

 

[yagal]

Best second. Green jersey 2012, 2013, 2014

 

[Firemind]

Poor Sagan.

 

[Kitsuné]

Oh man I'm so so HAPPY for Greg! Finally! He's been ace all season, but without an important win. Just goes to show that you got to keep on trying. YES!

 

[kottila]

you now sagan is doomed to be forever second when he can't even beat the king of runner up, GvA

 

[someday]

Phil Ligget had me laughing today. Seconds after the end of the stage he was complimenting Sagan on the win, saying how great it was that it ended his drought, etc. Then he stops and asks, "what am I talking about?" and remembers that Sagan came in second.

 

[waypoetic]

You gotta love Orica Green-Edge. They might not win as much as Sky, BMC, Etixx, Lotto Soudal etc but they sure are a bunch of awesome people and they surely have the best race diaries on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCxp2a7hw-0.

 

[Confrontation]

10Km left. Today's finish should be absolutely spectacular.

 

[Ruruja]

Wow, what a crazy stage.

Cummings' tactic was superb. Shame Yates went backwards at the end there.

 

[waypoetic]

There truly are atrocious people in this world, like the guy who threw a cup of piss at Chris Froome on today's stage.

Richie got punched yesterday at 3km to go and later faced off to 4 guys yelling abuse at him and then they shut up and apologised when confronted. He was very emotional about the whole situation in his interview and then we have this nonsense today.

Totally missed that. Could you link the article/interview?

 

[Ruruja]

If someone threw urine in my face I'd certainly make them regret it. What a scummy thing to do.

Just google "Riche Porte punched" and you'll have enough results.

And loose the Tour? : )

It would be a job for my domestique. Probably Stannard, he looks like he could hurt somebody.

Stannard, Barbara Stannard?

 

[Linius]

That image was the last thing I expected to see upon opening this thread

 

[Confrontation]

The fuck did I just see.

You can hear the interview on the Stage 13 episode of The Cycling Podcast (The Telegraph)

Let's not forget the same thing happened to Cav in 2013.

 

[LayLa]

this is a decent podcast btw, the extra "Kilometre 0" episodes they have been doing about the mechanics, chefs and other "behind the scenes" people have been excellent

 

[Matush]

Sagan again at second place, lmao.

 

[Firemind]

Sagan cannot catch a break.

Tinkoff is not pleased.

 

[captscience]

Sagan again at second place, lmao.

Both amazing and sad that he can finish second so much.

I didn't see the split but I'm surprised he let Plaza get that much of a gap.

 

[bobnowhere]

Warren, you idiot. Probably ended Geraint Thomas' race there.

 

[captscience]

Warren, you idiot. Probably ended Geraint Thomas' race there.

Goddamn that looked bad. His head hit the telephone pole pretty hard.

Is it Geraint on the bike behind Barquil now?

 

[Nomad Blue]

Warren, you idiot. Probably ended Geraint Thomas' race there.

I'd be shocked if Thomas is still conscious after that.

 

[-MB-]

DAMN. That hurts...

 

[Nomad Blue]

Holy shit, he's only 40s behind. After that!

 

[bobnowhere]

Ligett and Sherwin claiming Thomas back on his bike and only 40s back on the froome group!

Amazing stuff.

 

[waypoetic]

Sagan cannot catch a break.

Tinkoff is not pleased.

Last time he broke his hotel tv. Today he probably punched a cleaning lady in the face.

 

[Hawkie]

G worried about his sunglasses at the end and cracking a few jokes. Top man, hope he's ok to go again after the rest day. Barguil overcooked it, once more, 2 corners later - clearly out of his comfort zone on that descent today.

 

[Ruruja]

Sagan's descending was legendary.

Barguil's not so much.

 

[kottila]

Sagan's descending was legendary.

Barguil's not so much.

His descending wasn't perfect. Too eager and overcooked at least two turns
