Bit annoying Giro isn’t on ITV. I thought they had highlights last year?

You can get a good highlights show on Quest TV at 7pm each day, also available as catch up on their website

Looking a tad moist.

Reports coming out of the Dauphine are that Froome has crashed doing a TT recon and has a possible broken leg.

If so that's his TdF over.

Broken femur!

Pelvis apparently? Pretty serious crash into a wall by all accounts.

I'm no fan of Froome, but I would never wish this on him. Potentially the end of him as a GC rider IMHO.

Vos is out of the Womens tour of britain too after a crash in today's stage.

Apparently happened when he took his hand off the handlebar to clear his nose.

Reported as femur.

What a shame with Brailsford saying it will be a long time before he is racing again you've got to wonder if the 5th TDF title is now out of reach.

That's a bit premature though, for now best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[johnxjsc1985]

I admire Froome immensely for his achievements but he will not light up the TDF with his attacking style. I wish him a speedy recovery and now Thomas has his wish of being Team Leader.

[ferrisbueller]

Not Froome's biggest fan but this is very sad news.

[Black can man]

One would think at 34 that this could well be the end of Froome's fantastic racing career .


Wishing him a speedy recovery .

Ouch. I broke mine as a kid in a bike crash I finally have something in common with Froome!

Don’t agree that it’s the end of his career though.

[Chris Stott]

Bummer. Really enjoy watching him in the mountains.
