It's fitting the stage started in Ypres, this is a battlefield.

Contador has dropped from the main GC chase group, he's going to lose significant time on everyone today.

A Dutch rider would cross the line looking like he's blacked up. I was hopeful Nibali would turn £1 into £150 for me for a while there.

Bit of a shame that Cancellara couldn't do more, but that was an amazing stage regardless. I hope the Tour organizers don't get second thoughts about including cobbles, it really was the rain that did most of the damage.

Incredible stage, amazing Nibali and Astana, Contador is outside the Top10 for GC.

Contador has to attack at every opportunity now, and that always makes for some incredibly entertaining racing.

To be fair, it seemed like there was a lot of nervousness in the peloton with riders not wanting to sacrifice places/time so they'd be in a decent position for the narrow cobbled stages. In the end, I thought the riders handled the actual pavés pretty well. Pity about all the crashes though, in a way; in dry weather it still would have been a cracking stage. It would be a loss to the Tour if it were left out in future.

Damage was done by Westra today. He must have been maxed out for 10-20 minutes.

Amazing stage, great riding by Astana with Westra and Fuglsang. Really glad that Boom won, made riding on the cobbles look relatively easy.

Astana was just murdering it all day, put pressure on Froome and Contador from the opening and cracked both. Brilliant stuff.

Watching the replays of Contador on the cobble, he suddenly went into pussy mode and dropped a ton of speed.

Couldn't pay a whole lot of attention here at work. C/D: Froome slammed before he even rode a pave sector.

French TV saying Froome's x-ray last night showed a hair line fracture, if true sending him out today was just stupid.

I think they will go with this story to make Froome look like he toughed it out, but you could hear the team and riders telling him to go on and he just threw a fit and got in the car. I bet the most hurt thing is his feelings. Very mentally weak.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:That's a massive shame for the tour as a spectacle What the gently caress are you talking about. With froome gone, there may actually be a race this year. The tour is the single shittiest race of the year, even moreso when there's a clearcut winner from day 6. Doubly so when that winner has no charisma and every interview translates to "I'm on poo poo you haven't banned yet; come at me"

I thought Froome was properly hurt, he looked like he wanted to cry on one of his team's shoulder like a Brazilian footballer.

For the record, I don't think any of Froome's crashes were his fault.
