Those high speed decents are crazy dangerous, there was also a terrible crash at the Giro Rosa 2 days ago.
Tour de France 2017 |OT|
- Thread starter Addnan
- Start date
It is why Astana is finally forcing Fulsang to work for Aru.

That girl is still in a coma, last I heard. She crashed going 90 km/h and doctors fear brain damage
Finally!

They are working well and catching.
It makes sense to ask... But it is essentially asking "help me defend the yellow, y'all can stay 2, 3, 4."

Bardet is losing his advantage, and Aru still has a teammate. He could take this stage.
Yeah, of course lol

Yay! Dan Martin looks ok. On that side anyway.
But too bad he is so far behind. He would have taken third if he could have avoided Porte.

Would love to see Aru get the win and a nice gap to Froome for the Yellow.

Looks like a minute behind. Hope he can maintain that or even pull in a little bit.

I'm amazed seeing him working so hard after that horrible crash.
If Froome is smart, he stops chasing. Bardet is no danger at this point.

Could just be adrenaline. I wonder how he will feel on Tuesday.

What a legend this lad. He smashed that last climb and managed to win the stage.
I was hoping Aru would try going for the bonus. And Quintana is looking pretty bad. He's already 2 minutes behind isn't he?
Edit: wait, Uran looks like the winner doesn't he?

Even more tears for Barguil now.
Apparently Porte is conscious and alert and was telling the photographers to piss off and give him room.

They just DQ'd Sagan from next years Tour because of this mistake.
Nop he said on french tv he tought he had won because uran looked disappointed. He was crying from exhaustion and joy.

Have to point out that Uran rode single speed to victory (derailleur was broken). Fixies for TdF 18?

All this hard work from Aru and Fuglsang and they still lose time to Froome. Why even help him out in the first place unless you are going for 2nd place.

I don't think Eurosport should go to their video features. While they were happening three crashes occurred

Fuglsang had to go for the stage win. He was looking strong, and could have potentially left Froome without bonus points.

He kept going even after Bardet was retaken. If winning the stage was his goal then his strategy was beyond stupid.

Yah, horrible tactics. Astana seems to be lacking a lot of racing know how.

Blame Lemond!
Aside, hope Mori, Gessink, Thomas, Herrada, and Maijja are ok! They should sue Lemond.

That is a lot of big names out in a single day.
At least Greg agrees that Aru attacking was the right thing to do.
