It is being reported he fell off when he took his hand off the bars to blow his nose on a fast bit

Ouch

Quote:

Chris Froome is out of the Tour de France after sustaining “multiple serious injuries” in a freak high-speed accident. The four-times champion, who is in intensive care, broke a leg, ribs and an elbow after colliding with a wall outside the town of Roanne in the Loire on Wednesday. He lost control in high winds when he attempted to blow his nose while cycling at 37mph.

This doesn't sound great.

I heard a dutch interview with his teammate wout poels... sounded quite horrific.... lifting his arms to sneeze, and then a heap of wind...

Possible naughty step intrigue that could crown Froome!

So Wout's saying he needed to lift his arms to sneeze (bizarre) and then farted so ferociously that he lost control and hit a wall.

Nasty.

Calling it now: it's going to be a vintage year for Pinot. He had a decent Dauphine and the field is a bit narrower. TdF champion 2019

He'll fuck it on Stage three.

At least then you'll have another companion for your coast-to-coast trip.

Can't believe they've been riding for six years now.

When does it end?!

MaliA · **Posted:** Sat Jul 13, 2019 21:51

Pinot looked massively strong. I believe he is going to do it. Brilliant ride today. Fucking loved it.

However, De Gendt was on another plane of excellence. Christ almighty what a ride

TdF:

1) Contactor - Looked imperious in Italy
2) Nibali - I think he was sandbag ginger
3) Pinot - I think he is developing well and he might be on with a real shout in 2016

Quinraina and Froome will fight over 4th.

Cav will win 5 stages including Paris.

Oh, hahaha, they got to a roundabout, he went left and everyone went right resulting in a loss of forty places.

Quote:

Of the contenders for final victory, Pinot was the biggest loser, fighting desperately to close an ever-growing gap, with only one teammate able to assist him. As he wheeled to a halt at the finish, his sullen reaction told the story. “Nothing to say, it was a shitty day,” he muttered to the waiting French media before riding back to his team bus.

romanista · **Posted:** Tue Jul 16, 2019 20:41

Great tour until now.. many attacks. Dutch succes...

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Jul 17, 2019 9:20

After a day of reflection, Pinot has probably jumped out of bed, already in his sports kit, clapped his hands together and shouted "piétiner". This is the sort of stuff that turns stage wins from breakaways into a GC win.

If I remember a recent 'Shut Up & Sit Down' podcast correctly, roundabouts are in the next 'Flamme Rouge' expansion, so you can recreate the thrilling heroics on your tabletop.

"Pinot unlocked the cage in his hotel room, leaving a sore but satisfied MaliA to crawl out, his smile hidden by the leather puppy hood."

They really don’t want Tom Dumoulin to win it, do they?

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Jan 16, 2020 8:11

Pinot news, now!

Next month he is in two stage races in Provence and Haut Var. He's setting up for the Paris-Nice (which starts southwest of Versailles (famous for Louis XIV building a mad big palace there) which is about 20km from Paris, so the start is about the distance between Manchester and Liverpool from Paris), before arriving in Nice at the end of the penultimate stage, then leaving nice only to return on the final day), in March, so there's going to be horrid weather and crosswinds there. The off to the Basque Country,Criterion de dauphine before the tour.

Exciting times.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Feb 06, 2020 18:49

Great to see Tom piddock doing so well in the cyclingcroos world championships.. he really made the race exciting again after van de poel 's victory was sealed.. (and was fun to see the belgian get 3-10)

5.9 watts/kg up Ventoux lads, pinot looking smart.

Day four of Dauphine done, and Pinot is looking solid in second place 14 seconds down.

This is the year.

romanista · **Posted:** Sun Aug 16, 2020 15:58

And if would have cooperated with the other frenchmen he might even have won it...

MaliA · **Posted:** Sat Aug 29, 2020 9:50

Here we Pinot! He's in it to win it, and the boy is looking great!

romanista · **Posted:** Sat Aug 29, 2020 10:05

Have you actually watched the dauphiné? Jumbo visma seems to be the big favourite, but will see... glad it has started.. a bit of tour in the indian summer

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Sep 02, 2020 17:07

Apart from today's boredom (until last 200m) it has been great so far. And Alaphillipe has just had a 20 second time penalty applied so he is no longer in yellow, but Adam Yates is!
