Unbeliavable scenes. Froome running without a bike is illegal by the way.

But how much is legal and is not? Surely it's not illegal to run if your reserve bike is 10m ahead, so where's the line?

By the way, apparently Froome crashed into the back of a moto and took down Mollema and Porte with him as well. Mollema got back on his bike very quickly then

Well there we had the video but still not clear what happened. Looks like some of the fucking idiots on the side of the road caused the crash (again)..

Yeah, it looks like the bike stopped sharply as to not go through the fans and then the 3 riders just crashed in the back, because it happened so quickly and there wasn't enough room.

Twitter is already full with "those fucking motos again", but I really doubt a moto would stop in the middle of the road without a reason like some "fans" being in front of it...

I once mountainbiked down the Ventoux (through the forest from Chalet Reynard to Bedoin) by the way, much calmer than the sides of the roads

Well, ASO could really want a Quintana win. 

 

As far as the rules go Froome should be DQed, because like i said, it is illegal to run without a bike, like it is a marathon and get one when it is convenient, but given the circumstances i think they will let it go.

What a disgrace. Le tour is gonna have to control the public. Too many morons. This changed everything.

Given the circumstances they should definitely not DQ Froome in my opinion, that'd be bullshit..

 

I'm also curious where it says you can't run at all, or where in the rules the exact number of meters you can run is stated  

 

 

If they want a Quintana win they're pretty desperate, because Quintana was really weak today...long ago that I saw him like that in a race where he actually wants to win!
