    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    He never finished the race, so a waste of a roster spot.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    You could say that makes sense, but he has ridden the World's Road Race in 2011, 2012,2013,2014 and the World TTT in 2013. So it's not like he's stopped racing after the Vuelta. So it's still strange that a guy who's is in the top 3 ITT-ers (for the last 5 years or so) has not ridden the ITT...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    But for a rider so "strong" at time trials, seems a little weird that he hasn't ridden it since 2009, when he's been in the top 3 ITT riders for the last 5 years.

    Vuelta Stage 18: Suances → Santo Toribio de Liébana - 169 km

    Froome to win this with room to spare. He's had his *"GT off day"*. *The one where he pretends to be sick or just having a bad day.

    Re: The only issue with the Asthma stuff, is you can't have that and Bilharzia. Unless Froome only got Asthma in 2012/13. Or had Asthma, got cured, then caught Bilharzia, got cured, only to catch Asthma again.

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 19:Embrun-Salon-de-Provence 222.5K

    Barguil to go for the mountain points, then discovers that he's 15 minutes ahead of the GC guys so he carries on, wins the stage, takes yellow and France explodes.

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 18: Briançon - Izoard, 179.5kms

    The Top 5 or 6 guys on GC to look at each other and hold hands on the final climb, there might be the odd attack, where someone gets a gap looks back then waits for the others to catch up. The stage will end with a 25 meter sprint for the stage. Oh and Kiryienka will control the peloton for like...

    Re: Nope. One year in the Vuelta, AG2R finished with 1 guy and were called rather cleverly AG1R by the commentators

    Re: But they have the first case of Badzilla and Asthma, so silver lining and all.

    Dave Brailsford - cycling genius

    Re: No he didn't. Bruyneel and Armstrong were well known to hold press conferences with friendly journalists, which is what Mr Ryan alluded too. Brailsford was the one who brought up "organized doping".
