How long did Uran just keep up with the lead pack on a singlespeed? That's a hell of a ride.

E: Holy poo poo, he won the stage on a bike that couldn't shift.

Aru's the only person with a chance and they have a go at him for attacking like that. Shame.

I feel extremely bad for him, he would so have deserved it. It's just also extremely funny in a cosmic sense

If they can't force an appeal though, that stage claimed 12 riders.

I lolled when I heard he'd crashed again but apparently Majka hosed up and took them out this time.

Also Porte's got a weird habit of making silly mistakes in the last 20km of races and having a big smash. He did the same in the olympics, just ran too wide and smashed himself to pieces.

Only got a German language source right now but apparently Porte has a concussion and that's pretty much it. Fingers crossed. The lesson seems to be that if you want to descend headfirst into a wall, make sure you crash into an Irishman with bad teeth first

Also he asked the doctor about his glasses because "they were expensive", lol

They did not find the glasses

Richie Porte was also with BMC last year, right? He was one of the guys who crashed with the motorcycle the day Froomey had to jog uphill for a bit, the guy with the weird grin, no?

I'm asking because I don't recognize the picture on his twitter profile at all. I guess half of it is seeing him without glasses on but also the face is way thinner than I remember it

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

So, two collarbones, one pelvis, one vertebrae and one guy making GBS threads his shorts so hard he took three more of his team with him.
