so only Mollema, Porte and Froome (the 3 involved in the accident) get the same time.

Which would be fair  

[heywoodu 16,474]

Just hearing now that apparently Quintana got the same time as the group with Yates (from which he had already dropped)...Mollema lost 24 seconds to absolutely nothing and especially Quintana is the lucker of the day...together with Froome for not getting a sanction.

 

Yates should have been the one in yellow with Mollema behind him, but instead Mollema and Yates got robbed of time and Froome and Quintana got time out of nowhere.

ASO fucked bad, because they didn't have the safety measures required for this stage. And they try now to solve the problem by giving Froome the yellow again, confessing that it is their fault for the situation. But in the past there were similar events and they were treated as part of the race and gaps were gaps. Whatever the decision is, it was going to be controversial. Like i said the race would have been more interesting with Froome chasing.

Nairo was lucky. With 6 extra kilometers and with that crash he would have lost more than 3 minutes, best case scenario

The stage of tomorrow is deleted? Any news?

I haven't seen anything but it would be appropriate after Nice.

Mollema on TV: "Froome and Porte were lucky I got up so fast and went 100% to the finish line and did a good job, because now it turns out I worked for their times."

I don't think so. It should have something like a minute of silence, but just cancelling the time trial tomorrow wouldn't make sense.

Idk of you remember this, but after the 2015 Paris attack all international competition was postponed or deleted. I think that it will be the same
