Chris Froome fell off his bike yesterday, and had to have x-rays to determine whether or not he could continue. I've been watching the highlights, and apparently the peloton slowed down "to let him catch up". What's that all about? Also, he had running repairs to his injuries, whilst being towed along by a moving car. I don't understand it........is it just me?

The peloton didn't slow down, they were only 3 miles in so wouldn't do in such circumstances anyway. When a GC contender in a team suffers such a mishap at least one(sometimes 2) domestique will stay with him and pace him back to the peloton, it's general practice and is no big drama. The only time the peloton waits is when someone has suffered a 'mechanical',...
