Re: He needs to follow the 2014 template and the buildup I imagine that starts in December? To touch on your point...Tinkoff Saxo should have signed Mikel Landa. Contador never had anyone consisently with him at the Giro or the Tour during the crucial stages.

Re: Contador's 2014 Tour form....we will never know what it was. I imagine he could have gotten that 2-30 to Nibali back. Froome crashing at the Dauphine in 2014 hurt his form, Alberto followed some strong attacks by Froome in the earlier stages and attacked him later after his crash and...

Re: Re: At Route de Sud he didnt look that good in my eyes. He couldnt drop Quintana on the ascent, Quintana could have left him for dead if he wanted too. Watch the stage 4 , when they are together on the climb, Quintana looks more comfortable. I felt this way Pre-Tour so im not judging...

Re: Re: Take Froome out of the equation and the next 5 guys are all within 1:30 of each other. In the Top 15, Froomes 3:10 lead over the rider behind him, is the largest gap in that Top 15 riders. Oh and that 3:10 could be 6 mintues right now. He could have attacked today...see that sprint...

Re: Thomas looks like he is laughing, or just laughing. Froome doesnt look to be breathing hard at all. Quintana suffering. Contador suffering. TVG suffering. Valverde suffering. Dont pisss on my leg and tell me its raining.

Re: Re: I dont think it was a bad day for Froome. He just choose not too attack the rest as his 2 domestiques put all the best GC riders in the world at there limit. Froome could have attacked and dropped everyone at any point.

http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/article/2015/07/15/contador-i-couldnt-breathe-and-still-cant Contador was realistic about his performance today, but refused to admit defeat. “The Tour is a very long race and it’s true that today I wasn’t in top shape, nevertheless I can also be in a...

I think Contador will attack on the decent of the Tourmalet tomorrow or go within 2km of the top, put pressure on Froome. Alberto has pride, he will take risks and make it interesting if he can. Hopefully no one crashes risking on the decents. This tour isnt over, baring a Froome crash or...

Re: FRoome could win the Tour using a Unicycle.

Re: He can win the Tour by 20 minutes if he wants too.

Re: Re: One month ago, Froome wins stage 7 @ dauphine by 17 seconds over TJ. He wins stage 8, 18 seconds. Fair enough. One month later, he wins a stage and beats him by 2:28. He got that much better in 30 days? Im pretty skeptical.

Re: He also said he was aiming for stage wins at the Vuelta and that he had a little pain when he went full out in the knee just at the start of the Vuelta. Blowing smoke. Him admitting he has lost a spark could be false security for the rest, it could mean the opposite, that he is finding...

Re: Re: In my opinion, there are signs he isnt at his best. Even at Rud he didnt look great on that final climb, Quintana looked better, imo. Im just hoping he has perfected the timing of his form to start peaking right around now. Stage 10 will have answers. I thought Contador was going...

Re: Also unbelievable work by Sagan. Contador's legs looked pretty fresh closing that last little bit of space. Im really hoping he can ride away from everyone in the mountains.

Re: Froome and Quintana can drop Contador, if Contador isnt at his best. At the Route de Sud, Quintana looked so easy following Contador. Quintana worry's me a bit, I think he might be a monster in the mountains. Im not sure what to make of Contador's form yet. Today doesnt worry me...
