Maybe I am ignorant about racing rules, but I am not understanding why it was
unsportsmanlike to attack when Froome stopped. Noone else stops and waits when
other people crash or have to stop in the TdeF, so what made it wrong? Losing
due to a mechanical, crash, or otherwise happens in races.
Etiquette doesn't always make sense sometimes it's just the way it is :p.
My take is so the race is decided by who has the best legs rather than the
wheel of misfortune. At least it's not as bad as baseball with their
stupid unwritten rules .

Yep, that's pretty much how cycling shoes were up until the 70's and
into the 80's . Sidi made a classic model for both racing and touring ,
simple and elegant .

I find Race the Divide, the Stagecoach 400, Leadville type events more
interesting than TdF.
The 12 year olds would probably be more interesting than the Super
Bowl as well :-) Super Bowl Sunday = best day to go ride a bike
without cars out!

Would have been something if they kept it open to spectators and instead
closed it to team cars.
I'm all for bike races, but as Andy noted, noted, not team cars.
Riders should have to finish on the bike they started with, repair their
own flats, pick up food at neutral area.

I believe that's called Eroica (add prefixes, suffixes and locations as
necessary). I'm guessing no TV network is interested in paying for
broadcasting rights for that.
We should probably also consider the fact that for professional bicycle
racers (and the teams/crews/sponsors that are

not very steep climb .
As far a teams and cars for support , been there done that as they
say . That's how it used to be when the TDF started.
It looks to me in that pic that the rider is wearing loafers!

And this is what you get when you move away from 19mm tires!
Stick with the skinnies, people, much safer!
