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.

 

Froome only needs to cross the line with a bike. Any bike. He won't be DQ'd

They nullyfied the gaps. Race goes back to being boring...It would have been much more interesting with Froome chasing. Plus he was only 43 seconds behind so would have taken the lead after tomorrow nontheless.

I'm still confused as to what exactly happened, but in my opinion the right thing would be for Froome and Porte to get the same time as Mollema, with the rest of course behind them.

Bauke is angry

In any case, I'm glad that they neutralized today's stage. We can think what we want about Froom, but he was the leader of the race and the accident wasn´t his fault. so I think it's fair.

It depends on what they did (I'm still not sure)...if all they did was giving Froome and Porte the same time as Mollema, that's sort of fair. Of course the likes of Quintana were already dropped from those and would have lost a decent amount of time anyway..

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