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

All international competition? Like what, football friendlies? Because that's of course totally different than something that's actually ongoing and "serious" like the Tour de France instead of just a practice match.

Not only football friendly. They postponed an important ISU meeting. I know, it isn't comparable whit the tour, but we'll see

Exactly  

 

Tom Dumoulin by the way: "Hey jury, I was held up by people on the side of the road as well, around 21 minutes I believe, can I get my time back?"

 

 It would almost be fair since Quintana simply got dropped and still got his time back  

[heywoodu 16,474]

New video...what's worse, Froome running up the mountain (slower and probably more energy costly than cycling) or Quintana simply holding one of the wheels on the medical car so he has to do absolutely nothing?! If one of them should be punished, it's Quintana if you ask me... (after seeing this video) 

Of course it's also possible he was just trying to not fall and held that wheel for just one second so he wouldn't fall, but it looks worse than Froome's running.

Todays stage will go on as planned.

[heywoodu 16,474]

Wow, Dumoulin has completely annihilated each and everyone today 

[Federer91 3,390]

Boring, boring, boring...

[heywoodu 16,474]

And Mollema having moved up to 2nd, what a Tour de France-day 

 

Quintana now definitely has to attack after the last rest day, which could get interesting as well. Very strong Yates, so it's gonna be a good fight for the places behind Froome and even Froome really did not look untouchable on the Ventoux.
