if he carried his bike, i would.
he didn't, and therefore is simply a sperg who's lucky to not be disqualified.
there's is nothing heroic about this. it's something a child would do.

>Was jogging up the Ventoux part of your plan?
>>69546007
Nobody knew who I was until I came off the bike
>>69545146
so as I understand it you can run without a bike but you have to cross the finish line on one?
>>69546024
it's a work of art
>>69545146
Reminder the entire Netherlands is outraged that everybody got free times bonus expect for Mollema
>>69546356
Every grand tour needs its dose of dutch butthurt.
Quick, post more Chris Froome running memes
>>69545257
kek why are cyclists always arseholes?
>>69546356
Froome and Porte also lost the time Mollema lost so I'm not sure why they're complaining
>>69548326
Because if you let the crowd have their way things like what happened today happen

what a time to be alive
>>69548460
Well I'm not sure where you got that from the wikipedia page and BBC have him in 3rd overall
>>69548463
Froome knew everyone would be bored with him easily winning so he is going out of his way to make this a meme tour, he made doubly sure to give us a surprise on this shortened stage.

I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in the alps

NOS.NL, the Dutch (correct) news site.
Also found it on cyclingnews.com - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-mollema-angered-by-ucis-handling-of-ventoux-crash/
Froome and Porte were given the same time as Mollema after they were forced to wait for replacement bikes. However, the crash caused an inevitable roadblock, and the UCI decided to give Nairo Quintana (Movistar), Tejay van Garderen (BMC) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) the same time as Adam Yates, despite the Orica-BikeExchange rider finishing six seconds ahead of them on the stage.
Mollema remounted and finished well ahead of Froome, with initial results showing him second overall behind new leader Adam Yates. But the revised times moved Quintana back ahead of Mollema in the overall standings, although the Trek-Segafredo rider gained 19 seconds him, and is now two seconds behind him in fourth at 56 seconds from Froome. Mollema hinted that the decision might have been different had he been alone. Trek-Segafredo are appealing the decision.
"What's going on? Seems like everybody gets time bonuses. I wonder what would have happened if I would have been the only one to go down," he wrote on Twitter.
>>69548512
Also want to add they were 23" seconds ahead at the moment of the crash (direct quote - Richie Porte), and were gaining speed, specially since quintana en co were dropped by Adam fucking Yates (with all respect).
so feels kinda sour to bump back a rider and bump up the rest. Yes they might have lost some seconds while being stuck in traffic, but Mollema WAS ON THE FUCKING GROUND, and got no time reward for him.
In short: Mollema and Yates got cucked by the UCI who only protect the big teams.
>>69548512
well movistar must have the officials in their back pocket they don't deserve it all
Thanks Mr Skeleton
Serious question: do you think this running sprint could affect his performance? Considering how fucking skelly mode he is, his muscles could have suffered
>>69548767
I ran 7 miles at a slightly-below 7:00/mile followed by a double-shift as a bike courier later that day, thinking I'd be completely sore but I was fine: the muscles utilized running are starkly different than those strained by cycling. This is also why many world-class cyclists almost always are mediocre in marathon races
Wait, you can run in bicycle racing? And it counts?
>>69548929
if you're important enough, rules have a way of bending
>>69548767
He will suffer because he was using muscles that he would never usually use.
>>69548767
>>69549297
he didn't run a 5k. he jogged 200m. the biggest danger was him fucking a knee whilst running on bike shoes and a foot slipping. seems crisis was averted. almost no chance he loses.
if the race even continues at this point, considering the attack an hour ago.
>>69549343
>whilst
yuroboo harder pls
>>69549343
>if the race even continues at this point, considering the attack an hour ago.
it's not like the organizers or authorities would publicize any credible threats, but I'm surprised that not a single bike race has been culturally enriched yet. looks like a possible attack was thwarted in Germany a couple weeks ago, tho. probably a lot of work going on behind the scenes
I'd say the TdF is too much of a national pride thing to cancel outright, but will it get cucked or otherwise reduced in scale? who can say
>>69548463
A full kit wanker
>>69549468
i don't get it. is english your second language? do you not read books?
why did he still wear his helmet though?
why didnt he carry his bike?
doesnt he need to have his bike with him at the finish?
>>69551455
I doubt he planned to make it all the way to the finish, anchors on American TDF coverage said he ditched bike probably out of anger/adrenaline.
Mutual aid ended up getting him a new (poorly fitting) bike 200m down the way, and his team car got him another for the last 400m of the race
