I think Nibali was more likely upset with Froome over how often Froome said "why don't you guys go test Vincenzo?" You know, without actually saying the "Vincenzo" part. I think testing is why Nibali came in so flat and why he stayed flat until late.

I haven't found a picture of Froome from that ITT either. There is one from the U23 World Championship that year where he's running into the official. No clue if it's the same bike though. Just ridiculous to me that anything about that event screams "the guy in 17th is amazing!" He's the...

I've always appreciated the value of that 17th in 2006 with shoddy equipment. http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/photos/2006/mar06/commgames06/index.php?id=men_road_tt/e Australia won just about every medal on the road that year. Honestly, it's a wonder the Commonwealth could produce 80 cyclists...

I forget how often USPS put two riders on the podium or began insisting one of their other American riders was ready to win a different GT (while still employed by them of course)...

Indurain would have been lucky to finish better than fourth in this Tour at his very best level, and that only because Nibali got caught out in the echelons and raced flat for two weeks.

Yeah, that guy had a bad day (maybe). Froome had a day that went off script, but still turned out pretty well for him though. Of course Thomas lost enough time the rest of the top ten won't think twice if (when) Sky puts him in the break tomorrow.

OK, I watched the race. Where was this "bad day" everyone is talking about from Froome? He beat Gesink as badly as he beat him in Stage 10. He dropped Contador. He dropped Valverde. He dropped the entire field except for two men. Anyone else has this day and his fans call it a heroic...

It was one heck of a ride. The idea that he was clean in 2012 (when he was the only man that came close to keeping up with Froome and Wiggins) on his way to 3rd in the Tour or 2013 (when he made Wiggins cry and throw his bike) when he won the Giro and nearly the Vuelta as well (curse those...

Hey cool, an ethics debate.

Finally having a bad day on Stage 19 is NOT an indication of being clean. It's an indication of having a bad day 19 stages into a 21 stage race. A lot of guys have been sick. He had a nasty wreck just recently. He dug deep to narrow losses after that wreck. A LOT of Guys are experiencing...
