In theory, it could make the race less exciting toward the end. I think ASO need to rethink having days like this in the race. For me, It could have been worse, it could have been better. We will just have to move forward.”
I'm disappointed that TJ blames his crash on the fan's desire for "drama". Most of the carnage didn't happen on the cobbles. It was raining, so what? Slow down if you can't stay upright.
Tj's sour grapes are too obvious. This.
Froome was out before the cobbles....Teejay himself went down in a roundabout. Not a cobble in sight. So what....we should just cancel stages when it rains?
Astana and Nibali took the race by the throat today....but AC is a pretty crafty rider and will attack at every opportunity to claw back time. A jour sans is a real possibility for Nibali.
Race got super-interesting today, but is far from over.
Greta stage today.
