Apparently, it's up to a "jury" to decide, a French jury.
Yep .... a bunch stoopid moron French partisan biased dipshits.
Cav causes this sh!t all the time and has a huge history of this sh!t.
Cav is a total aszhole.

It's a no brainer that Cav has been sent to the hospital for all those crashes he's purposely caused on others especially that criminal move he did in the Olympics.

I loved how Calemejane was channeling his teammate Tommy Voeckler today with tongue out and head shaking!!!
I was a little gripped when he started cramping though.

Cavs a little cry baby . . . Sagan is a real warrior.
The boring team Sky continue to hold the Tour hostage . . . can Contador or Quintana stir the pot and make this a battle?

Wouldn't that be nice.
And on that note, here's a piece from the Velonews website today. Title is "Do boring, long stages belong in a modern Tour?"

Riding a big tour is one thing. Totally badass. Watching a big tour, on the other hand, is something that makes one thankful for "fast forward." The finish might be exciting, but five hours of 200 guys pedaling through the countryside is...

Looked like Veelers grabbed Cavendishe's arm and pulled him in causing the crash...?

Looks like there is not much hope for Contador and Quintana after Stage 9. Aru shows the most promise to challenge Froome. Still a lot of riding to be done though and anything can happen, just ask Geraint Thomas.

I hope the BMC rider is okay. A few years ago my buddy was in the tour... Top guy on the team went down but they all had to keep riding.
He saw his wife cheering on the side, pulled over gave her a big kiss and hopped back on.
A French rider yelled above the cheers, " whatch out, the American has strength now!"
I love that!!!

I'm not sure what we're doing about spoilers. Sorry if I give too much away.
I thought Dan Martin was one class act today. As far as I could tell he was the main guy successfully arguing to hold up when Froome had his mechanical, and yet when Martin gets taken out by "the event", no way his fault, nobody held up for him. F*#king A, here's to his grit to finish. His after race interview was the definition of stoic uncomplaining graciousness. And yes I hope to heck "the BMC" guy is OK.

I was not aware of the heinous Richie Porte crash . . . total bummer, as he was a potential Froome rival. The field is thinning out at the top unfortunately. It sounds like he escaped with severe abrasions and fractured right clavicle and hip, neither of which will require surgery. He will be back next year for the Tour no doubt . . . these guys are tough.
Rest day tomorrow.

I thought Dan Martin was one class act today. He has been very impressive this tour.
He just takes off the front over and over,
I hope the crash didn't take the spunk out of him.
Looks like Froome has it wrapped up
he's just too smart, too strong and too calculating for any real challenge
but it's far from over
Go Froome..!!

Froome is a slippery guy . . . he will do what is best for Chris. I felt that there were some theatrics involved in this incident and was glad to see Uran ride away . . . too bad they let the yellow back in.
Remember when Contador rode away from Schleck as he dropped his chain? Andy was pissed off.
