Poor Chris Froome.
Is anybody else watching? A couple of riders said they thought the cobblestones were unfair to have in the race as all they do is knock out good riders, who should still be here, such as Froome. One alluded to the idea that it is to make the race more "exciting" to spectators. Bob Roll pointed out that most of the crashes were not on the cobblestones, but on the regular blacktop, referencing the rain. He said using cobblestones is another way of getting the best overall rider" to come to the rise to the top, who is the person that should win the Tour de France.
What do others think?
