    Le Tour '18 stage 12: Bourg-Saint-Maurice > Alpe d'Huez 175k

    Who's anticipating? We already know what happened. Sky freight train tempo, at Alpe 15 riders left, 6 of them Sky. Kwit pulls for 5km leaving 6. Then Thomas goes taking Froome, then full alien and Froome wins and gets yellow. Duh.

    More riders complain about wattages set at tempo (by Sky)

    I think a way to bludgeon team Sky's financial superiority would be for the UCI to ban team radios and power meters. Sky has their tactics worked out down to the last watt. Take those tools away from them and the ability of the stem watcher to call tempo changes on the radio would hurt their...

    Le Tour 2018 stage 11: Albertville > La Rosière 108,5 km

    Re: Martin was a total idiot today, what did he think would happen when he went and Froome went with him. It was almost like he has a Sky shirt on.

    Le Tour 2018 stage 11: Albertville > La Rosière 108,5 km

    Quite simply a way to improve this farce would be for the UCI to ban radios and power meters. The money spent by Sky allows them to monitor the race down to the last watt, getting rid of them and radios would certainly make it much more difficult to orchestrate the race in the same way.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Yeah, he was suffering and barely hanging on. Then voilà, crushes the field again. I've never hated a rider more and despised a team as much as this current Froome/Sky combo. I have watched cycling since Big Mig and tend to enjoy the Giro and Vuelta more then the TdF because the race parcours...

    Vuelta a Espana 2011 Stage 6: Úbeda - Córdoba 196,8 km

    Man that was simply a phenomenal finish, never seen a team do that before. Too bad for Nibs not getting 3rd though.

    TDF winner, welcome to a man that never ever attacks...richly deserved...not

    Sorry Dave, disagree. Cadel did exactly what he had to do to win this TdF. The Schlecks wasted their opportunity to win by being afraid of attacking all out in the Pyrenees. Andy was brave on the stage up the Galibier, but Cadels ride was heroic as well and in the end, Cadels ride was better...

    So which dopers is Evans gonna have with him on BMC next year?

    Actually watched every stage, don't remember one time Porte was mentioned being seen on the road. And the only reason I mention Porte was early on PL kept saying the he would be ACs lieutenant on the climbs, and I never saw him do that.

    So which dopers is Evans gonna have with him on BMC next year?

    Yeah, I would really want Ritchie Porte on my team next year. Totally invisible when it mattered then comes out with a top 5 ITT. :rolleyes: Good program.

    BEST and WORST team performance in 2011 tour

    Best Team: Eurocar by a mile. White Jersey. Stage Win. 10 days in yellow. Turned themselves inside out. Worst Team: Saxobank. Other then CAS and a few seconds of Hernandez where was this team? Bla bla bla, Ritchie Porte, major lieutenant for Contador. :rolleyes: Don't think I saw him...

    Stick a fork in Alberto Contador

    Paul and Phil are the ultimate LA fan boys. Paul has investments in a few LA ventures. AC showed up as TdF champion and LA thought he would bendover and move aside to let him win. AC didnt do that. Hence why Contador is so "hated".

    If you were Schleck, what would you do to win this TdF?

    Andy's chance at victory was to do a full out attack on Ax-3 Domaines, not play some stupid macho I can track stand better then you Alberto, that was by far the most idiotic thing so far in his tour. Most people think that AC will get 2 min on the TT, and comparing this TT to last years TT is...

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    Fricking hilarious. AC is a 4 time GT winner. period. Will LA next year be a 7 time GT winner with an asterix beside his name? Get over it all ready.

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    I love how everyone is saying AC attacked and kept attacking to the top. Wtf race were you watching? IF AC can drop the group in an attack to chase AS down, then why didn't he do the same later up the climb and drop DM and SS with the same burst? He didn't, he went hard when he went by AS and...
