Whoops, nerves? Hopefully not sick

shit!

Dumoulin dropping a "one plus one" live on tv!

that was a quick shite mind you...

nobody seems to be attacking either which is a surprise

Zakarin being a bellend!

Zakarin fires the pistol on that one.

Game over, stopping again.

Fuck doing the Stelvio twice at breakneck speed with a runny bum. Poor cunt.

Miiiiles behind

Movistar need to look at themselves

Nice to see Movistar holding up for Sunweb, like they did for Nairo a few days ago.

how's that? There's nothing in the rulebook about letting the race leader stop to take a shit every 10 mins and they've held tempo rather than attacking.

Poomoulin

Fuck, I'm gutted for the guy :(

Plus its Bahrain driving now, not Movistar.

they are pushing on pretty hard

Nah. Fuck those guys.

"we won because we put our foot down when the leader was taking a shit'

dismal

It's nothing about the rulebook, it's about respect.

Would you feel good about winning a grand tour because you pushed on when the leader was ill and kacking his pants on the side of the road?

If you got shit problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 mechanicals but my ass aint one.

Part of winning a GT is not getting sick. It's not like they've attacked on the flat whilst he's having a piss. It's the stelvio

Edit, Obviously Froome and Wiggins should be informed of this too, and stop "Levelling the playing field"

Classy

"Dethroned"

Classy choice of words, there, Eurosport.

Part of winning a GT is not getting sick.

they don't know that he's sick. They just know he's taking a shit. FFS. If they thought he was sick, then they could have let him re-join, then attacked him - and each other.

If it looks bad, it probably is bad. And it looked bad.

No idea what to think. Movistar isn't really attacking. And he got off at the bottom of the climb when things were going to kick off. That has a touch of strategy about it. Cutting pace for a chunk of the climb would certainly have been helpful. But we won't know, or won't know before the race is over.
