Imagine taking both hands off your bike to blow your nose . Or is that down to his "ASTHMA" again ?

Hitting something in a car at just over 30mph and you’re getting hurt, imagine it’s just you a bike and a wall. Doesn’t sound good right now.

Ouch. Well, I guess that clears up who will be TdF team leader between Froome & Thomas.

Broken femur, that's a bloody strong bone, must have been one hell of a hit

Supposedly in Intensive care .
Hope he gets through this ok
But having seen the news clip of him minutes before not heeding a warning about unnecessary risk by taking his hands off the handlebars while putting his jacket on whilst on flat road , it does make you question his judgement why he would do so again on a downhill section of the ride.

Habit, if people get away with doing the same things again and again, they begin to think they are ''Immortal'' and immune from from anything bad ever happening to them !! Well this time, Froome did not get away with '' taking his hands off the handlebars while putting his jacket on whilst on flat road'' and suffered massive injuries for making this mistake. I think it will be a lot harder to get back to his pre-injury level than he seems to be thinking at the moment. The body, especially back and joint injuries, do not heal as easily as some people seem to think. When you are fit and young you seem to think you are an ''immortal'' When a bad injury actually does happen, it can be a big life changer !!

All well & good on Fine days Sid .
But when its blowing a gale ?

Smacks of irresponsibility by him.

The money his team pay him & pump into the team to support him has all been literally half wasted.
Now its all on GT's shoulders.

Still it should make for a fairer tour now the biggest budget will be down to 1 race winner & not 2 are taking part.

Of course it was silly and irresponsible of him to do that, but that is what happens when the ego gets too big and leads to too much overconfidence.
Oh well he has a long and painful time ahead of him, time in which he will no doubt reflect on the very basic mistake he made.

Hospitals would require them to be labelled.
