the 2 million come from Israel as Giro could not afford that. they would if they had the money as they did in the past with Armstrong. Because English speaker riders attract all the usa and uk advertisers. regardless I hope they will check bike swap in the middle of the race (sky signature)...

Re: Excatly the point. Israel pays 2 million froome to participate, now they are bulling the organizers. Personally, I think Giro does not need the money of a criminal country and should widraw the start.

I have said last September the Giro organizers were going to tailor made the course for Froome to participate, and they did... Only one stage with 2000 mt elevations? All other stages are pretty easy compare to Giro standards. It is also rumored Froome receiving 2 millions from the organizers...

Re: Nibali is already considered a legendary rider by the other pros. Press is generally biased towards riders that generates more click. Which are English speaking riders generally. He does not need to shut up anybody. He could have already have a rainbow jersey and an Olympic gold among...

Re: Re: First, Froome is a great rider, but without sky and favorable stages, he won't go anywhere. he actually does not even take part of the events, and when he is forced i.e. olympics, he does not look too good. All GT are shortening the TT because they do not make sense anymore in modern...

I think Giro presentation is late this year because they will finalize the course after the tour is presented. As far as I know, the tour has been loosing audience because of sky dominance. It is the organizers own fault as the courses were tailor made for sky to win, but at the end they...

Re: I have a dream too: Froome mechanical Nobody stops Red jersey to Enzo SKY wining for ever and ever and ever and ever (x2) :twisted:

Froome is only "Froome" in the U.K. and U.S.A. In any other place he is considered a disgrace for cycling. I personally think team $ky is the disgrace for cycling. They can have all the money in the world, but they are the most boring team.

Re: Re: Yeah, but it looks like his computer batteries are running out.

Re: He always puts pressure on the opponents, it is not his fault that people can't stay on their bikes. But he definitely contributes in making other people do mistakes. If anything, he has been an unlucky rider, as he could have an Olympic and rainbow jersey among other races, if he did not...

Re: Re: I meant wiggins did not even finish, how can the whole team not finish? and their Giro contender never podium or seems to finish on the podium with a shot to first place. That is a fact, I ll eat my words back if they will do so.

Re: In 2013 SKY with Wiggins and their "A-team" (Henao, Urán, Cataldo etc.) tried to win the Giro. They were the big favorites. The course was made to suit him. They did not swept the average field away. They did not even finish. Every Giro is the same story. Considering they have a...

This was a good stage, Nibali is getting into form, Froome is going the opposite way.

I like Froome and I think he is a very nice fella, but I highly doubt he and team sky can win or even podium the Giro (if he does not race the Tour). Giro has much harder course and requires good improvisation skills and be able to adapt quickly. Can not control it from a car 100%. This year...
