Froom-dog:confused: What is that supposed to mean?

Can't find the exact quote (because I'm blocked) but Froome's gf tweeted something like, what was it, "want a loyal dog, get a Froome dog" or something like that during the Tour regarding his loyalty to Wiggins.

Not much. I was just getting started and hoped she would reply.

She posted that "Most controversial rider" advert from US tv and I replied "you're pathetic"

AC should keep his powder dry and not attack on this not-too-difficult climb. His form will build as the race progresses, so he should save himself for the second half of the race. But we all know that he will attack because he can't help himself. Wish there were more riders like him.

Admittedly I am not watching this race although I am checking the ticker. It's not that I don't want to, but there's too many races and not enough time.

My thought after yesterday's stage is that you could see some surprises. Contador cannot keep attacking like that with a profile like this over three weeks. It may be fine for the opening stage, but..... I still think Vuelta will have some sleepers emerge in the final week.

Hehe! I hope you are right - I'm still hoping Talansky can show us some talent! I'll say this, tho - the "boring" complainers should be happy today! We're seeing some fireworks now!

It's not windy at the top, nice.

The breakaway has 10 minutes, if the peloton doesn't react soon enough they will go for the victory.

I'd have thought Movistar would like to keep the jersey for as long as possible, they've had an excellent 3 days until now. It's not like the break is breaking the world speed record. :p

Seriously froomedog is like one of the creepiest nicknames every

Reminds me of Andy from the US version of Office who calls himself "'Nard Dog", although nobody else does. :D

Don't think anyone of the break is close to valverde, not sure though.

Yesterday Froome Dog looked confused. I think he missed Wiggins and his leash:D

The Cofidis guy is only three minutes down on Valverde apparently.

As I predicted...unpredictable...

Still there's a good chance of it crumbling for such a long attempt. I would be glad to have T. Martin there though.:D

Jesus ROSENDO PRADO (028), Assan BAZAYEV (032), Luis Angel MATE MARDONES (067), Tony MARTIN (141), Simon CLARKE (152).

Hope Rosendo takes it.

Ahhh, well I guess the heat got to much for her, she only allows confirmed followers to access her tweet now.
But who really cares, the woman is only seeking fame.
