BBC TV now reporting Froome broke his neck as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/48646238

Fracture to the neck and up to six weeks in hospital.

Ooch, done the 6 weeks in hospital - must be serious enough break.

 

[roadrash]

Yeah I have an idea what drugs he will be on , he will probably be off his face most of the time,and I will also say ,after breaking my neck two years ago, I wouldn't like to have all his other horrible injuries on top of that.

 

[Stonechat]

Terrible affair, the hints to internal injuries are worrying

 

[Crackle]

I think I've found Lloss's twitter presence

 

[roadrash]

So he was already a Grand Tour winner in 2012 when he paced Wiggins to the TdF.
I don’t think he would have been so willing to do the donkey work if he had known that.

Gotta say I'm not a fan of retrospectively awarding results. It makes sense in very straightforward athletic events - running, jumping, throwing etc but none at all in complex team events. I think what they did with Armstrong was the right approach.

Not that it really matters either way as it's just a paper adjustment.

It is very odd to me that the Armstrong years are the only ones (afaik) where there is no official winner. If there has been an explanation for that inconsistency, I missed it.

Maybe because you'd have had to go down to 8,9,15 place to get a winner ?

The 'winner' is still the winner no matter how far you have to go, though.

Or even further. I'm sure I've seen an argument that Boardman won it one year. It's just impossible to replace Armstrong in those years.

It may be the last thing he ever wins sadly.
