2014 68th Tour de Romandie, April 29 to May 4 - WT

[thequestionmark]

Spilak leads Froome down safely. Froome might gift him the stage.

hold that wheel Froome, hold that wheel!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Just tuned in. What happened to Kwiatkowski?

Got dropped on both the first 2 climbs but got back on, then exploded on the 3rd according to Rob Hatch.

 

[spalco]

Froome descending skills are terrible

Funny then how the supposed super-descenders in the chase can't close the gap.

 

[the sceptic]

Yea and Spilak will gain time on him in the ITT

please stop with this idiocy.

 

[willbick]

Spilak 1st, froome2nd at s.t. Deja vu

 

[BigMac]

How do you rate the riders in the 2nd group by sprinting?

 

[ILovecycling]

Not the best but why risk a fall and an injury? He's already proved all he needed to today.

im not saying he should take a risk,but he is actually taking it with this kind of descending skills

 

[Parrulo]

Funny then how the supposed super-descenders in the chase can't close the gap.

Froome isn't making the descent, Spilak is and he is a pretty good descender himself.

Also Nibali looks a bit cooked. Costa could have gone to the front on a couple turns already, but Costa and pulling at the front are 2 things that don't mix.

 

[Matdum94]

please stop with this idiocy.

Spilak is a pretty good TTer.

 

[BigMac]

please stop with this idiocy.

He's baiting. Ignore. It's like the 5th time he says that without context.

 

[kingjr]

You do actually get what I was trying to say though right

If Nibs is doing a Lance his performance here is fine.

I do. But I also understood you said Armstrong used to "suck" this time of the year.

 

[ILovecycling]

Still 1s/km better than Nibbali's if the gaps are correct.

Funny then how the supposed super-descenders in the chase can't close the gap.

not risking at all,riding safe,no chance ftw ,there is a TT on sunday.

 

[Pricey_sky]

im not saying he should take a risk,but he is actually taking it with this kind of descending skills

Yeah true, but that's just Froome's way isn't it? Look as bad as you can to go quickly

 

[BigMac]

Nice stage finale regardless of who wins it.

It's about hardness of a descent. If it's straight, even Nibali or Samu won't drop a very average downhiller Froome.

 

[MatParker117]

Stage winner takes yellow.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Superdescender Nibali has made up exactly 0 seconds on horrible descender Froome.

I love the myths that go around. And nobody ever questioning them

 

[pastronef]

did Froome attack on the climb or grinded away with Spilak ? (I tuned on late)

 

[Butterhead]

hold that wheel Froome, hold that wheel!

He looks like a donkey on 2 wheels, terrible to watch.

 

[the sceptic]

no gifts Froome

dont be ridiculous.

Ha ha! great way of putting it.

 

[BigMac]

Spilak wins the sprint easy.
