Lol :p great post and too true :D

What that style of looking in a panic, in a frenzy head bobbing and weaving lol, seeing Froome go up the road, is that the style your on about.

Ah i see a GT winner should not be able to do agood ITT now:rolleyes:, your not a true cyclist? Ok then if u say so, hey Vino were u been last few years did you notmiss the best climber attacking all the time?, did you not miss the best climber being the best GT Itt'er, surely you watched the TDF last year.

It's ironic youd say the biggest attacker is a boring rider lol

?

What I said was that the reason Froome lost the TA was not that he had a particalary "bad day", but that people like Nibbles beats him on the tuff long classic like days with short steep hills and narrow roads where the fight for positions are just as important as raw power, and that the tour should try to have more of these stages instead of either plain mountains or sprints or 50km long flat itt.

For heavens sake, Vino was an immense tter (look at my signature videos)

Ok but you said it should not be for the straight forward climbers and ITT'er which is like a rider like Wiggo. I dont no how an attacking climber is straightforward you cant blame me for thinking that when you said he is a straightforward climber and ITT'er. I agree they should have more stages like that doubt full it would help that much though unless its wet, no? I thought last year was not a bad route overall just dont like the stages like 2012 where we have huge climbs followed by 50 km of flat.

:D I know thats when he was gracefull on bike dancing oon pedals have u seen the Grio video about 7 or 8 minutes long i think show most attacks and has ok music? But now he does not really have that style does he.

But that's normal, when he's struggling he doesn't look as smooth. His style is still miles ahead of Froome's though.

yes when he attacks standing up but what style was better on AX-3 a rider sat down riding ahead or Contador with Kreuziger doing that thing when his head tilts back? His style was not very nic in the TDF in my opinion not better than someone who was not struggling. I agree though their is no question all things considering he way more style than Froome.

I really hope Contador is back on his past form otherwise people will pray for mechanicals/bonks/crashes in a very boring TdF.

Also curious about gaps, won't be surprised if Uran and Tj beat the 2012/2013 times also.

Probably they have posted only winners times. Maybe headwind wasn't such a big factor this year ?

They posted 2 times from 2013 so they haven't just posted the winning time
