Froome is cheating!
You can't run up the hill without your bike.

Would be great for the tension but I agree, at least if fans caused this.

Anyway it's really time to put some barriers between the fans and the riders for these kind of climbs.
People have crashed into camera bikes before with no recourse.

Wow, what a shitshow. The only way I could accept is there's a televised police chase after some fan trying to ride away on Froome's bike.

Those fans are always an issue, the space is way too small. Especially for motorbikes.
Mollema fell too, but he was most lucky.

I just came back from a meeting and saw froome running. Had to rewind to see what happened here.

Problem is he ran 50 to 60 m up the road without a bike. That's a major no no.

Must have been inside the last 1km at least the last 3km. I know you don't lose time on flat stages in that case, not sure about mountains.
Yeah, it's out of control at the moment. One rider is already dead after a collision with a moto this year and another in what looks to be a permanent vegetative state.

If this stays, Quintana could take it in the Alps.

Crazy scenes.
Froome may have been too hasty chucking his bike, unless it was properly fudged.
Just said to my old man a few mins before that happened it would be a perfect job for Judge Dredd to roll up alongside the peloton on such days.

They don't have any 3km rule on MTFs

Froome is so good he wins the Tour without a bike
There is no 1km or 3km rule on mountain stages. Froome shouldn't have run up the road. IMO the times should stand as is, accidents happen.
Organization fucked up by moving the finish line. Caused a huge amassment of fans (imo).
If the reason was really that the wind was too much for the sattelite equipment, I feel they need to put their priority straight.
I'd rather have a messed up picture quality than the farce that was this finish.
There's a bunch on twitter. Amazing.

Surely that can't stand, you're just telling fans that they should just block off riders if they want to influence the result
Quintana looked fucking weak today. He had a good third week last year, but I don't see it.

I think it was too dangerous for the riders, this was yesterday:

This better not stand.
Froome running has to be one of the weirdest moments in sport in a while.
Yeah, exactly.

This can't stand. Porte had absolutely zero chance. It was not an error on his own part.
Yesterday's wind likely made him weak today, he was caught in the fan. I wouldn't count him out yet.

That group was also held up by the crash.

Juan Antonio Fletcha saying they shouldn't change the result if they haven't done it in the past.

Juan Antoine Flecha pretty forthright there.; Sayng the result should stand.

They were all the together at the time with Quintana leading. After that they Aru and Yates dropped him.
Except something like this has never happened before.
Are you sure? It looked like Valverde was bringing Quintana up on their own, with that small group ahead of them, before the crash.
