i'm not a big fan of Froome, and don't cheer people for crashing, but part of me did like seeing that he'll now have to come back from nearly a minute down this year. It shouldn't really pose much of a problem for someone of his ability, esp given he is a pretty good time triallist also, but at least its a slight handicap. Unfortunately Porte was in the same group at the finish (caught up in an earlier crash) so is also coming from behind once again. |
That American kid was still going last night, I'm glad he got through the 1st day. He looked like he was in a lot of pain lopsided as he was. Last night he looked straight again.
I must say I'm over the whole froome thing. If you require drugs to be racing then maybe you shouldn't race. Years ago I was given steroids to open up my lungs when I was in icu. It's amazing what they do, it's like supercharging a human body. I'm not surprised people can't keep up with him.
