Devastating for Porte. Wonder how this will affect his future contract search??
Poor Richie just can’t catch a brake can he poor guy. It look from the pictures I saw that a couple of spectators might have been involved in the group of riders coming down, there was a lady on the side of the road being help by people and another with what looked like a cut arm. Hope there all
Ah no Awful for Porte, especially after last year and the team BMC win on Stage 3.
I am surprised no one has yet suggested Team Sky paid off someone to take down Richie though...
I reckon someone from Team Sky may have paid someone to take down Richie Porte - The are as bent as Dick Dastardly when it comes to racing!!!

I wager 20 pages of abuse for this.
Is that Muttley sniggering or Froome needing a huff or 20?
