Popping His Wheel

Not to be confused with 'Popping a Wheelie', something that Peter Sagan (Cannondale) is known to do when cresting the Alpine climbs of the Tour de France, Chris Froome (Team Sky) his popping his wheel off of his fork as he waits for his mechanic to show up with another wheel. The UCI has required that the forks have a recess to keep the wheel from falling out of the fork if the quick release is not properly tightened. While this is common in bikes for the general public it slows down the time it takes to change a wheel because it requires a further adjustment of the quick release skewer. Froome is decreasing the time it will take to change his wheel by pulling the it out before the mechanic arrives. Ironically, the mechanic just brought a new bike (he may not have known what the problem was so he went for the solution that would solve any problem).
