[GroupDK]

god damn..

 

[Jelantik]

froome won it again. Well at least.. it's not 2 minutes taken out from froome as everyone predicted.

 

[Red Rick]

F*ck this

 

[happychappy]

My wish came true.

Have that You dreams have been CRUSHED.


That was for all the haters, the people hoping for rain. I'm laughing so hard right now, absolutely beautiful.

 

[Frosty]

Saxo should have changed bikes on the 2nd climb. Then Kreuziger and Contador would have finished 1+2

Brailsford = tactical genius

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Told you he was going faster than he looked

I don't know why you guys still get surprised by froome

I am not.

..............

 

[wwabbit]

Pretty impressive considering he had to take it easy on the rainy descent

 

[Amused]

Guess he took 15-20 seconds on the bike change? Lost 10 or so in the rain?

Pretty close today.

 

[ILovecycling]

Alberto knew it

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Fantastic ITT

Most exciting one for a long time.

Final result was an anti-climax.

 

[Bakhjulet]

Purito 10s behind Froome.

Who would have thought that?!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Froome wins by tiny amount and the nutters still come out in force as if the result is ridic.

Save it for the next MTF lolocaust.

 

[BigMac]

Well, shall i place all my money on Froome for the alps. The little hope of him cracking i had is vanished, he wont. Ever.

ridiculous.

 

[boladelmundo]

WTF Froome?

Froome is super ***, including changing bike, he still won by that many seconds.

 

[forkboy84]

Please forgive me for this.....

guffaw, snort, hahahaha, sweet jesus. </sarcastic>

WTF do you have to do to beat the man?

Perhaps if he'd changed his bike like the other top contenders that'd have made the difference.

 

[Kazistuta]

Dumb decision by Saxo

They would have lost around 10 seconds by changing bikes, don't think Bertie would've raced 20 seconds faster with a TT bike from the last hill.

Froome is just a class of his own (but thankfully not that much today)

 

[jsem94]

I dearly hope for full *** attacks in the Alps.

says Armstrong.

 

[Jelantik]

for saxo. First objective.. accomplished. Bertie and roman are in the podium. Mollema finally RIP. Now interesting to see what happen tomorrow

 

[Pulpstar]

I think changing bikes was basically all even.

Obv Contador did a compromise with the aero wheel.

 

[SafeBet]

Purito the big winner today. Podium is not out of reach for him, depending on Saxo's tactics for tomorrow and Friday stage.

 

[Cimber]

Guess he took 15-20 seconds on the bike change? Lost 10 or so in the rain?

Pretty close today.

Contador had rain too

 

[go crazy]

Froome is not even breathing in the interview!!! It's like 2 minutes after he finished!!!

 

[Panda Claws]

Froome to win the Tour with 5 stage wins? Unseen since Hinault, since Merckx?
