Yes

Yates 2nd! Brilliant ride.

 

[Irondan]

Froome does it

 

[Andreasjs]

Don't care who wins the tour as lomg as it isn't Froome the frog

Re:

if tj followed his own pace, he would have won this dauphine.

Happens often with him.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Froome was indeed impressive in dispatching the awesomeness that is TJVG. Apparently, those rides with Lance didn't help young TJ much.

 

[Escarabajo]

TJ Lost the race when he tried to follow Froome. He should have paced himself.

Re:

Why does Froome look down every two seconds? Is that a compulsive tic?

Instructions from the mothership: "Human levels adviced."

Re:

suck it up Froome haters lol

I think most "Froome haters" find this hillarious tbh. It's so funny to see Froome go full *** against minor opposition

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Now I remember why I don't normally watch races with Froome in them. Not only is he stupendously boring because of his alien-ness and I am left with an unshakable sense of disgust every time I see him show off his superiority, but his technique is so painful to watch, itmakes Escartín look like Herrera, which makes it all the more difficult to deal with seeing.

 

[rick james]

Lets hope Tj can now push on from here

 

[Flamin]

Awesome stuff from Froomey!

 

[Rollthedice]

Mankind is doomed. Alien resurrection.

Re:

Looks like the brits have come out in force to sniff Froome's chamois on this thread.

It must be difficult to type through that river of tears. Try not to be so angry, it's just a bicycle race.

Happy to see Chris win, but massive respect must also go to TJVG for riding so well all week, I think he's really starting to come of age and this TDF may be a big breakthrough for him if he can maintain a good level of form over 3 weeks.

Simon Yates also doing an amazing job to win the white jersey, so a good Dauphine for the Brits overall!

I dunno I enjoy watching them slag him off in the most stupid of ways and then watch them eat crow

 

[Netserk]

Great show Froomey, absolutely hilarious

Yeah Froome is good but the gaps yesterday and today were minor against guys like TVG, rui costa... really nothing "Alien" at all, it's just his style over the bike that makes people think he is putting in monstrous performance but that was not the case.

Re: 2015 Dauphiné, stage 8: Mont Blanc > Modane Valfréjus 15

Great racing,good performance for Froome,TVG and Yates.Poor TVG was so close,nice resilience he might surprise this TDF.
Hard day again for Froome haters,i hope they'll get more in July.

 

[Red Rick]

Grats to Froome, though its not as dominant as in 2013 or the start DL last year

Re: Re:

Froome is so ugly to watch.

well, this is about results

Nope. It's just entertainment.

His extraterrestrialness is even worse when you consider he is probably the least efficient pedaller in the bunch.

 

[Lexman]

Froome in alien mode or not, it's still impressive...

 

[BigMac]

Costa on the podium. As expected, always in good form on the last and antepenult days.

 

[Arredondo]

Great ride by Froome. However, we will only know in the Pyrenees how good he really is.

Purito on schedule. Good stage. Yates impressive too!
