Also an unlucky rider.

Well, certainly very crash-prone, can you put it all down to bad luck when it's happened so often?

Meanwhile, the Aust commentators are giggling over the "map of Tassie" that Richie Porte has handing around his neck.

Still a lot of mountains to come.

Fair. He's almost perfected it these days. Hopefully this crapulent season will result in him not ****** around with grand tour GCs and focus on classics again.

Froome punctures

by JGK Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:13

Aru attacks just after Froome has a problem with his bike. Probably lost about 100m.

by WideWally Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:14

Aru attacks when Froome has a mechanical problem. Naughty boy!

by JGK Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:14

Looks like everyone in the peleton is giving Aru a gob full.

by taipan Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:14

No one seems happy with Aru.

by tricycle Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:15

Bloody Borat

by WideWally Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:26

Contador cracks.

by JGK Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:31

This is brilliant. Multiple attacks and counter attacks.

And how many Frenchmen are called "Warren"?

by JGK Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:40

Farrrrkkkkk! Porte has a monster crash on the descent and is out. He looks in a BAD way.

by taipan Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:40

Porte down

by lardbucket Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:41

Porte out in massive crash

by horace Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:41

Porte a gawner. Looks badly banged up.

by WideWally Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:42

Terrible crash by Porte. That's the end of his tour. Hope he is okay.

by JGK Sun 09 Jul 2017, 15:44

Looked like Martin might have inadvertently squeezed him on the inside of a curve.
