Contador won't be staying so you're safe.

Front page says he's in talks with Cannondale, UAE, Astana and Trek for next year. I'd like to see him wear that Trek kit.

4. I miss the epic MTs to decide the GC. Something is seriously wrong when the MTFs are afterthoughts and nobody gains any real time there. The final time gaps between the top guys look like any other tour at the halfway point and that should be a good thing, but instead it feels like nothing...

I wish Uran could beat Froome but yeah, no.

Never. I'd say that for us fans and entertainment's sake, they should be obliged to attack whenever the leader stops.

My very late take on Porte's 2016 TDF: Even with bad luck/turds from Contador, Aru and Quintana, a no-show from Nibali, and a very weak in-house rival, he still found a way to be out of contention relatively early. This was a very good year for him to podium but it was yet another wasted...

Re: Re: Re the French, because it's now been too long since the last French tour winner. In the 90s, the memories of Hinault and Fignon were still fresh and they didn't think they'd have to wait so long for a replacement. Right now, if not an outright win, at least some podium placings are...

Re: I don't think he's saying that it's too much for the Tour. He's saying it's too much for him, as in for him to really contend for the win.

Re: Re: Nope. You can only have that if the best GC TT specialist you can come up with is Wiggins and the best GC climber you have is Chaves. A Contador/Nibali/Quintana type would win that 9 out of 10 times, and there's always somebody like that. Heck, if the 2012 Tour hadn't been the shittiest...

It's ridiculous to think that there's a "Colombian" effect bringing down the number of ITT Kms, when we know there are three main reasons for this: One, the top french riders are bad TTers; Two, more ITT Kms means more certainty of Froome winning which is bad for the show as it becomes easier to...

I can't be bothered to understand how the combinada or the metas volantes work. Best young rider white jersey is clear cut and gives me names to cheer for for years to come.

Looks like a lose-lose situation for ASO. I swear they'd probably be better off if the whole stage is neutralized for GC.

Re: This looks like trolling but... Not so fast. He IS a good time trialist. He's getting better all the time and he won't lose minutes. He's just proved that even without teammates he can still be at the front on a windy stage, so another false statement right there. He will attack just like...

Froome is really entertaining but it's just not in me to root for the biggest favorite in any scenario * * Nibali and Colombian restrictions apply

Re: Re: And if that's the case, then there's also no point in critizising Quintana since Froome is currently unbeatable. Nairo will give it his best where he's expected to, in the mountains in the third week. He honestly can't beat Froome any other way so why bother?
