Re: Re: Froomebwas vulnerable in the Vuelta, having a bad day or 2 and not once dropping Quintana who also did the Tour. That shape will never be enough in the Tour. Funny. Stage 4 of Vuelta 2016: Froome + 6s Quintana + 28s Contador Stage 19 of Vuelta 2016: Froome +1:57 Conatdor +2:16...

Re: Re: C'mon Prudhomme, is it that hard to create a fair and spectacular tour? We need: - 4 real MTFs. - 2 big Mountain stages with an downhill finish. - 2 short uphill finishes. - 1 flat Cross wind stage - 2 TTs with 60-80 kms off TTling. - 2-3 intermediate breakaway stages - 6 flat...

Re: Re: If Dumo would have won this, he would say: its no problem with the heat, no problem with the country and the spectators. So now he is pissed of because he have won nothing this year. No olympic Gold, no medal at the WC, no podium at the GTs and no podiums at any other WT race. It's...

Re: I think its pretty funny how the guys here react to Olegs interview. Imagine he would say the exact same about Froome, 90 percent of the guys here would applaud. The robot who pays to much attention to the nutrition. Nobody likes him. In reality he only won because of his team...

Olegs Interview to CN: Oleg about Contador: “ I don’t like him. Even in the team, most of the riders don’t like him. He ended up having a bad relation with almost everyone, apart from his little Spanish group. Personally I think Alberto should stop riding because he’s not as strong anymore. I...

Re: Team Sky Discussion thread It's all about to avoid chrashes, illnesses and biological-pass cases in 2017. If its the case, then they will have 4,5 new riders compared to this year. Landa, Intxausti, Kwiatkowski, 0,5 Henao, (Rosa?) GT GC riders: - Froome - Landa One week races GC riders...

Re: Re: Contador is out of Lombardia due to "illness". :rolleyes:

Re: The best thing to compare are the TT's from 2009-2011 and today. At his very best (in 2009) he was able to beat Cancellara, Wiggins, Larsson, Zabriskie, Martin, Millar, Grabsch, Rogers, etc at the TDF TT in Annecy at a flat course with an average speed of 51kph! Only was beaten by...

I can not imagine, that someone who won the Criterium du Dauphine, the TDF, won an olympic medal and finished 2nd at the Vuelta, combined with winning the Herald Sun Tour, winning a stage at Tour de Romandie, winning a stage at Dauphine, winning two stages at TDF and winnig 3 stages at Vuelta...

Re: Re: Vuelta a Espana 2016 :o

Re: Re: Contador is with de Jong since 2013. His most horrible years in his carrer. So i doubt, that de Jongh is an important part of success. To know Froomes datas from 2011+12 means nothing for today. And everybody knows the datas as well. 420-430 watts with 66-67 kg bodyweight for 40-60...

Re: Re: Oricas probably TDF Team 2017: - Chaves - Yates - Yates - Kreuziger - Carlos Verona ....

In my opinion, the best selection for the major races 2017: - Paris-Nice Captains: Thomas, Kwiat, Benat - Tirreno Captains: Froome, Henao - Milano San Remo Captains: Swift, Kwiat, Moscon - Volta Catalunya Captains: Landa, Poels - Ronde Captains: Moscon, Kwiat, Thomas, Stanni, Rowe -...

Re: Every rider will have an off-season in his carrer. Like Froome 2014, like Contador 2013, like Nibali 2015... Landa, Kwiat, Intxausti and König were injured or ill nearly the whole season. It's very unlikely that it will happen again next year. Nevertheless you saw the real quality of Landa...
