Froome out of the Tour due to Dauphine Crash (Update: He's back)

[FlashUNC]

Sounds pretty terrible with a compound femur fracture.

Very unfortunate. I wish him a speedy recovery. A broken femur is no joke and I hope it's not a threat to his leg. It could be the end of his career. Hopefully it's not worse.

Never been a fan of Robot Skeletor, but not having him in the tour is a loss. Goodspeed on his recovery.

Yikes! Open fracture. That is bad . Hope he recovers well.

Bad news for Froome and racing. Good luck to his recovery.

Alaphilippe had a spectacular crash on his Tt bike 2 years ago (I think) at the tour, in windy conditions.

Those bikes really are not safe unless the air is pretty still.

Good luck to his recovery. But sounds career ending.

His solo attack at the girl last year won me over.

Holy typo Batman! But for real his 2018 Giro move was about as impressive as Van Der Poel's at the Amstel, if not as spectacularly framed.

Brailsford said that the gust hit his front wheel just as his hands were off the bars, blowing his nose. Between this and the pee break at the Giro is this the year of the cursed calls of nature?

I wish him a speedy and full recovery as well.

Not sure if this opens up the Tour any more as Ineos is still stacked, but I am excited to see Egan Bernal with a little more leash to play with.

Went to check Froome's Twitter account because his wife is tweeting out medical updates … and found that Froome has blocked me.

Weird.

[72gmc]

Well, she’ll probably block me too because I’m probably going to watch the Tour for the first time since the Froome Era descended upon us all.

[charliedid]

Bummer

Froome always makes things interesting.

There should be a spoiler alert on this (kidding)!! I’m DVRing the Dauphine and now I’m motivated to watch it sooner rather than later.

Froome crashed before the stage. It's not a spoiler and there's no video.

Weird.

He always seemed like a thin skinned weirdo. Not least of which because he also physically just looks like skin stretched over a skeleton.

Thanks for the spoiler! I just started watching yesterday’s stage on DVR. Please don’t put race outcomes in the subject line.
