How does Froome avoid crashing when all he watches is his stem?

*crap*
I see it's not just the Cat 4/5 that can't ride a straight line. Dude just swept across the guys front wheel and, BAM!, lights out.

The crash was BS
Mur trivia question: how fast was the ascent today compared to the spring Classic? Yes apples and oranges as 160k with a few climbs today is a lot, lot easier than the spring version, and on the other hand no need to save any energy in a one day race, but the comparison would be interesting. |

whoa that crash was ugly, not sure if I saw Cancellara go head over heels more than once, or was that his bike? Those guys were moving when that happened.
Cobbles tomorrow, will Nibali crush it like last year? I see Quintana losing more time possibly, seems like the smaller guys have a tough time over the rough stuff, and Froome hates this stuff, dude just looks so frail. |

Quintana showed up for at least one of the cobbled classics and did not so and as I recall.
Did you guy see the crash on the far side after everyone else stopped moving? The teams and rider's union ought to be demanding a required boot camp for upcoming riders. One where they actually get it that eyes stay straight ahead when you hear the bikes go down and other really basic riding/racing skills.
I will always be grateful to have raced in the old and still there club NEBC out of Boston where older riders taught us that stuff.

Yeah, why did Cav go so early?
PS Nice ride TJ, a top 6 seems very attainable.
Because he believed all the hype about the new Venge and how fast he would be on it |

Froome is bouncing all over the place....but hanging in there.
Tinkoff and Astana desperately trying to break things up, but no one is cracking yet....only 2 sections to go.
next section sounds pretty long, however. |

| Martin gets his revenge. The Tour...might as well stop it now; from here on its about power numbers with the stem looking dude already in the driver seat. Contador looks like little off when it comes to power; he's allowing gaps at critical moments which doesn't bode well. |

Yeah, the advantage certainly lies with Froome right now.....bummed that Quintana is so far back. 2' is a lot to make up now, but there are still 2.5 weeks to go and a LOT of climbng. He needs to think of taking small chunks, not getting it all back at once.
Congrats to Martin....ballsy ride to finally take yellow! |
