I just caught up on yesterday's highlights and I have some questions...

These spectators holding up wheels, they aren't just random punters are they? They are from the various teams, right?

Why was everyone saying Froome would do badly on the cobbles? He's done Paris Roubaix before. He crashed last year, but was that even his fault?

Also, when Pino got a puncture, Ligget said something like "well that's the end of his tour then". Wut? He was only a minute or two off the back of the peleton by the time he got a wheel?

They're not spectators. Well some of them are but usually it's members of the team with wheels and stuff in cobbled sections.

Froome had started P-R before but not finished. He's also a stick insect and light guys don't tend to do so well on cobbles.

End of his Tour in terms of any GC aspirations.
