Froome is about a minute behind the peloton........team mates coming back to bring him up
Could be a lot of crashes today even on the tarmac roads...... |

I'm not suggesting that they're doing anything wrong, but it is unfortunate that the job of Froome's teammates is to protect him, and yet he's gone down twice now and none of them have been involved or have gone down themselves!

Interesting comment on the official feed - Quote:
Four Team Sky riders are trying to bring Froome back to the peloton. Dave Brailsford said before the start that Richie Porte would also be a protected rider today as they envisage the necessity of changing leadership, shall Froome be too injured to defend his title in the coming days.

If they weren't ready to go back for him they wouldn't be in the team !

Froome out of the Tour, not a good year for defending champions.

Can only assume that the injuries he was carrying affected his bike handling.

Why didn't Bradley wiggins leave team sky last year if he wanted to do the Tour de France. I presume as a fromer champion he would be welcomed by many teams.

I would give my left kidney to see Geraint Thomas win the GC now. But I don't think he can.

Because he's under contract, and also because he was prepared to ride in support of Froome.
Do contract's not work year by year then. |

Brad's coming to the end of his career........he's 34.......I'm not sure that any of the big teams would take him on as a grand tour team leader now, and would he want to start again with a new team as a domestique ?

Wouldn't he know there are issues between them that prevent them probably working together.
