I think everyone is getting caught up on the word asthma. he coughs after exercise – it’s exercise induced constriction of the airways that a puffer helps – i get this irregularly and also during some colds and viruses…i don’t think of myself as having asthma though but technically it is or bronchio what not. my doctor after my last infection said, do you get asthma and i’m like No. and he’s like, um yeah you do. they disclosed the coughing, so what’s the problem? michelle said it quickly in a tweet that he had asthma and that is probably what she meant.
Why didn't we know about Froome's asthma until now?
Yes, it is wrong. This post is wrong. Crashes can be career or life ending. After Wouter Weylant’s crash, how can you WANT a “tasty few?”
Is it wrong to enjoy seeing cyclists crash?
That stage promised much and delivered even more. Cracking race. It was like a one day classic!!! Attacks from the get go. Jack Bobridge claimed the KOM points at the first and only official climb. The two Clarkes staying away for over 100kms. And the final climb had it all. Machado’s brilliant effort and then the organisation from Blanco to deliver their man Slagter, and Geraint Thomas just defending his ochre jersey.
Well, that’s it from me. Join The Roar here tomorrow for more action from the Tour Down Under

Great work from Australian David Tanner to drop Tom Slagter perfectly off at 300m to go.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage three live race updates, blog
Slagter just 4 seconds behind Geraint Thomas on GC after that ten bonus second win. Geraint’s fourth finish there controlled the damage.

Machado will definitely move into Ochre if he keeps this lead and gets the ten bonus seconds for winning

Only about 20 seconds to the peloton. There’s a lot of lumpy sections and the leaders are struggling.

Amador quite happy to pay the fine to the UCI to take a cold drink from the neutral service car inside the neutral zone. 11kms to go.
