Those high speed decents are crazy dangerous, there was also a terrible crash at the Giro Rosa 2 days ago.

 

[Joni]

But this kinda makes sense, as it did in the Giro. Bardet could take some 30 seconds on Froome, which would potentially place him in second place.

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!

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

They are working well and catching.

Edit: forgot the bonus. He could end up in yellow actually.

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

 

[chicken_pasta]

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

Yeah, of course lol

 

[Joelstinton14]

Yay! Dan Martin looks ok. On that side anyway.

 

[Joni]

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.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

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

 

[Joelstinton14]

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.

 

[Joni]

If Froome is smart, he stops chasing. Bardet is no danger at this point.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

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

 

[Joni]

Deserved winner with Barguil, Uran in second.

 

[His Majesty]

Barguil

amazing

 

[NewDust]

Yasss, Barguil.

 

[Lender]

Barguil, what a win.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Barguil nice

 

[captscience]

Yes! Barguil! Well deserved.

 

[Chuck]

amazing finish

 

[Joni]

Martin still looks strong. Too bad about the 1m15. Finishing with Yates and Quintana despite the fall.

 

[chicken_pasta]

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?

 

[Joni]

It is Uran!

 

[Joelstinton14]

Uran?

 

[His Majesty]

So that's why Barguil was crying, Uran wins.

what's up with those insanely close finishes this Tour?

 

[Lender]

Oh no, it's Uran. that must suck insanely hard.

 

[krishian]

Wow, Uran won...

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Uran got it.

 

[Ruruja]

lol, wow.

 

[Faddy]

Oh Le Tour how many things can you fuck up?

 

[captscience]

What a crazy rollercoaster this stage has been.

 

[bobnowhere]

Even more tears for Barguil now.

Apparently Porte is conscious and alert and was telling the photographers to piss off and give him room.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

WOW

And fuck, Froome picks up 4 bonus seconds ((

 

[Psychotext]

Ouch. I can't imagine how bad that would feel.

 

[jakonovski]

Lol it's Uran! This etape was just too much with everything that happened.

 

[chicken_pasta]

They just DQ'd Sagan from next years Tour because of this mistake.

 

[Mimosa97]

So that's why Barguil was crying, Uran wins.

what's up with those insanely close finishes this Tour?

Nop he said on french tv he tought he had won because uran looked disappointed. He was crying from exhaustion and joy.

 

[Joni]

It doesn't happen a lot that the rider self is mistaken.

 

[Joelstinton14]

Even more tears for Barguil now.

Apparently Porte is conscious and alert and was telling the photographers to piss off and give him room.

Awesome. Feel sorry for the guy, plays the bigger man, neutralises the stage, then that. Sport eh?

 

[chicken_pasta]

Aru you had to get those bonus seconds ffs!

Edit: good to hear Porte is still a cunt

[yagal]

lol Le Tour

 

[jakonovski]

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

 

[His Majesty]

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.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

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.

 

[luchadork]

race doctor has said porte will be ok.
