Doesn't make any sense. It was a downhill crash, last spot you'd be using mechanical assistance. But yeah, anything that spins is suspect, LOL.

Is that the secret to Nibali's incredible downhill speed? That's what I needed when I raced. I, to misquote Mohammad Ali, could "sting (climb) like a bee but (descended) like a butterfly". Ben

looking forward to the vuelta - these tdf's where everyone is racing for 2nd and 3rd are distinctly unsatisfying. Declaring sky as a super strong team is just bleh.... liked froome's downhill attack and thats about it. The Ventoux $4it show was a cruel disappointment for what should have been a big showdown. Just never felt the race took shape. Wanted Aru to do something special - but that fizzled. Hats off to Froome - just super suspicious of this kind of dominance.

The only good thing about the Tour this year was that Froome built the foundation of his win on stages when it wasn't expected, specifically his attack on the descent and his ride w/ Sagan on a flat stage in the crosswinds. he was willing to throw the playbook out when opportunities arose. But overall, that race was just a big bowl of "Meh....."

Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!
