Proof! A double barrel shotgun is better than a single one.
If the combination of his wrist and the cobbles forces him to retire or lose time or whatever, it's going to look rather embarassing to Sky to have no plan B - especially given the irony of how well Wiggo did in Paris-Roubaix this year.
I thought the peloton could have knocked the pace off a little bit more than they did when he was riding to get back on.
Wow, is that you supporting Froome and Sky
Your right though, considering it was so early in the stage they could have sat up a bit more. Perhaps though it shows how other teams feel about Sky ?????
EDIT: or should i say how other teams fear Sky and Froome ????
haha, you know I'm all about fairness. I think Froome is well liked in the peloton, so probably more about fear, although not so sure how well liked Sky are in general.
Great Tour so far, can't wait to see today's stage later tonight - rooting for Sagan today!
Don't see why, he's not in yellow and it was always going to be a sprint rather than a GC stage
Wonder what the smugness levels are like in the Wiggins household...
Probably non existent.
It took a week for a hair line fracture of my left wrist to be evident on an x-ray. I spend a week doing exercises to loosen the stiffness... which really hurt.
The doctor showed both x-rays one on the day of the crash... no evidence of a crack in the bone at all, one week later there was a distinct white line across the end near my wrist joint.
I got the "potting shed" in A&E to make the pot so it fit my brake hood..... wife was disgusted But I still managed to ride to and from work.
I really hope his wrist is not broken, can't imagin what riding over cobbles would be like with a sprained wrist OUCH! Springs to mind.
