New to cycling...

Was that punch by froome acceptable? I know those spectators get close but that was shocking.

Awesome job by him otherwise though

Not a big Froome fan, but I was cheering him on that ballsy move. Descending is tricky enough, but sitting down on the top tube gives you even less control. That was scary and exciting.

I loved Froome's punch to the jerk fan. I wish they would beat the shite out of the ones who touch the riders and scream in their faces. Right up there with slapping the cell phones out of their hand a year or two back.

It happens, but usually only in really extreme circumstances. Froome will likely get fined.

just watched the replay that was a brilliant move by Froome, still a long way to go but that is a move that could win it for him.

And now Contador is out of the race. Didn't go right from the beginning for him.

If Valverde is in form today, I want to see if Nairo can shake off Froome.
He did a great job last year in the final couple of stages before Paris, but that crosswind early on in the tour last year really fricked them up

Movistar are riding like huge pussies. Letting UK Postal completely control the race.

What a downpour

Froome is just making this look easy, unfortunately. Unfortunately Contador retired.

Froome went and seemingly dropped all contenders except Nairo... though I think they all just came back together

Nairo has been worthless so far. Grow some balls and try to win the race.
