Sagan nearly getting taken out by random french fan with no shirt..

Got to love how Contador is praised for attacking in all situations and when Froome does he is labelled as stupid

Hesjedal at the start of the giro as well

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.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Well done Cannondale, Sagan all alone again.

 

[Kender]

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

noe one would praise him for a stupid attack like that

Gauthier is wobbling all over the road.

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.

 

[luckyboy]

Excatly lol.

People would go mad if Conta did this right now

I can't see Contador attacking on top of a lump with over 10km of flat to go. Maybe if it was 3-5km out.

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.

It netted him what? Waste of energy in my opinion (regardless of who does it) to attack with so many kilometers to go.

Stop being so equivocal

"One should not attack at all costs, but take every opportunity"

It was barely an attack, Froome was just stretching his legs a little to be able to descend on his own terms.

Corsica looks amazing.

 

[meat puppet]

froome didn't waste energy, he barely entered zone2 with the dig.

 

[Bumeington]

Brave stuff from Sagan, leading it all himself

Another dawg!
