    If you crash it generally a mistake on your part, I don't think you should be able to just grab a teammates bike and off you go.

    Bardet's lead is falling very quickly - he will get caught at this stage by the other favourites

    Froome back at the front of the main bunch...did Aru, Quintana...ect not know he'd crashed? They practically had an open goal.
    Poels looking fresh as a daisy after dragging Froome up the road, mouth barely open. This tour isn't sitting right in my gut.

    Not watching it but if froome crashed surely they need to wait till the race finishes, evaluate all the riders times and assign froome the time of the one rider that would benefit the yellow yersey the most... no?

    I never thought I would see Dan not crash in a GT, would have good odds on that

    No, because this was his error.

    So we should get rid of the neutral service cars too and only have the motorbikes with the spare wheels?

    feck that we should make the riders wear their spares over their shoulders and put their drinks bottles on the handlebars

    Deadly, and none of these fancy power gels, back to the days of opiates and bottles of wine stolen from roadside cafes.

    Nope, I just think it looks ridiculous grabbing someone else off a bike and leaving them there, and again benefits the stronger teams who are more likely to have guys round them to swap with.
