I know I hope he takes it, what a win in a WT race on a "mythical MTF" it would be, do you think they can hang on?

They most definitely can I think, 5 minutes is a good sized gap. But they'll have to ride balls to the walls the rest of the way.

It would have been in Movistars interest to let Sky do the work and not try to bring them back. The more time Kreuziger spent off the front the more energy he used. Sky would have chased them down eventually, it would be more in Quintana's interest to let them Kreuziger stay off the front longer and use up more energy.

Plus Movistar could save their riders for the ascent if their needed.

Yes, because your tactics are > than what Movistar think on the road.
You can't make this stuff up.

People need to chill out. Not even if the Saxo boys sprouted wings and were flown up and down the mountain on a cloud carried by a choir of angels could they have challenged Froome. Try and keep some perspective gentlemen.
2 and 3 and the team comp. when they cleary aint got the strongest guy. :rolleyes:

and the talk of the 2013 TDF-town, from a positive perspective, not like the doping-ghost like in sky's case.

so I think they pretty satsified at saxo..and sure they been the team there try from the start to make the race & stage.

kudos for that.. i want a race.. couldnt care less about them individuel..

I have no idea what point your trying to make with that? :confused: Obviously you can't think of anything that would prove what I said wrong.

He and other Saxo ds's promised that Saxo would attack and cause carnage. All i saw was a limp **** move on the descent.

The only excuse is if he is saving it for tomorrow.

You can't cause carnage with a 4 minute gap. Froome can comfortably ignore him even until Contador gets virtual lead, which is quite unlikely even if Sky completely let him go.
