Got to love how Contador is praised for attacking in all situations and when Froome does he is labelled as stupid :D
I think Contador was also criticized few times. Also, I don't think there's anyone disliking Froome for attacking now, but realistically - it was a bit pointless.
I like it though. I like todays stage.

I think froome has just demonstrated that be doesn't want to win like a robot. This could get very interesting

I really dislike Voekler. There is no more obnoxious and rude rider in the peleton. There is no rider that tries as hard in pointless attacks just to get his face on TV. I would subscribe to a channel in a heartbeat that refuses to put Voeklers face on TV.

That's Cyril Gautier there at the front though.

And if you mean in general, Voeckler has a pretty damn good success rate to his attacks or breakaways.

I was wondering that. People usually love that sort of thing.

Excatly lol.

People would go mad if Conta did this right now :rolleyes: :cool:

If Contador will do this I will say the same. Why? Because this is the 2nd stage, and there is no chance to reach the finish with time difference. There is no logical reason the attack here. If this would be the 20th stage, then I will say ok, but now?

First, that was Gautier. Second, to put his face on TV, he has to attack. Attacking is always good.

Also, it's Froome's wife birthday. That was probably a gift.

Stop being so equivocal:)
