I hope Froome ain't hurt. If saxo was the only one that was riding they'll get a lot of heat after the stage.

I'm not saying i agree with the fact they are riding. I just say that at that particular moment, we had a race.

What's wrong with that?

Sorry i just thought you was sort of glorifying Froome not their and was happy we have a race when i think we have a race either way.



And also if true he dropped becasue of an earlier fall then sure they should ride.
 
Can´t see they drove that hard anyway since Froome bridged pretty fast the last five minutes or so. If he dropped because of the crash then racing him is not that strange, if they started to pace when the crash occured then we can have a discussion.

Looks like they eased off though.

Whats up with all his crashes btw?

staying on your bike is just as much a skill in cycling which froome doesn't possess. they have all the reason to ride

Yeah we all know the uproar if it was Nairo lol... They have every right to ride if he dropped because of an earlier fall but not if he just fell they start riding. This is not 50 kms to end Ryo.

Man it is making me become less of a fan i know sounds wrong but i can't support a guy who i have to check every day is in the bunch.

This is cycling. It happened with AC in the tour too, astana started to go hard. That's just how it is.

You gotta stay on your bike or they'll screw you over.

Yep, and as far as I'm aware Froome got back on, but then struggled on the climb.

Can't get the difference between and epic race with Froome, Quintana and Contador and an epic race with let's say Aru, Quintana and Contador. :p

Mate do not lie you gotta be the biggest liar ever and i don't even know you i seen what your like and your reactions here. It is easy saying it but if Nairo was their you would be going nuts just dont talk bull****. You probably just want Froome out so Nairo may not get spat out the back again;).

Btw, are they really going to finish in the Paseo Parque de Fuensanta?

If they do, that will be one of the best finishes of the whole year, in terms of scenery.

Put up or shut up.

Show me a quote or a link to a post of Ryo where he does that.

Anyway. This promises perhaps fireworks at the end of the day. If Dawg got dropped on these pretty easy slopes then the rest might contains attacks or two at the end.
A cat 2, Alto Ahillo, is coming up. Hope Movi and Tinkoff push the accelerator.

Put up or shut how about you shut up i said his reactions you telling me Ryo is not not over the top at times. Idiot, it was meant in general weather it be Nibali crap climber or bad reaction to a rider. What an idiot you are as if i have not been around too see. If any Colombian was caught behind group Ryo for sure would not say part of racing especially Rujano lol.

I found it funny that people were criticising Contador and his team without knowing the full story. It sounds like Froome crashed and then the pace was increased on the subsequent climb and that is where Froome dropped off. I can't see anything wrong with those tactics, if it is the case.
