Afterwards it's always so easy. This reaction is a disgrace.

What are you talking about? Go back and read my posts on Jrod

If you said it before this Tour, it was based on no arguments

Eh? So if one correctly predicted that Jrod would be bad this Tour, it was pure luck? Right. Anyway, I've been saying that Jrod has been on a steady decline since 2012, yet die hard Jrod fans delusionally kept believing that he could reach his former level again

Sure, he was on a decline in 2013. Winning the WT, 3rd in Tour, winner of Lombardia and moral winner of the Worlds

He's not as good as he was in 2012/2013. But still good enough to ride a good GC. This has just to do with sickness, horrible shape or something else. Not on being too old of other kind of nonsense.

I agree that he was good in 2013 as well. But I guess he was also just sick last year, right? And probably will just be sick next year as well

Re: Re:

Uran should retire from cycling

What an idiotic thing to say.

Apart from anything else, Uran clearly made a decision to soft pedal of the maillot jaune group to conserve energy. He will attack at some point to come.

Exactly.

Uran's goal was a stage victory. He should get that in the third week.

Froome wants polka dot

lol, if Froome is going to fight for the polka jersey that will become a very interesting competition.

Re:

He's the third best Frenchman. No wonder they want to show him. I do agree that they should stop though

Looks like everybody is keeping the powder dry on the descent.

You know he was injured almost the whole year. He won Catalunya. Everything looked superb for the classics and Giro. I think he would have had a great 2014 without those injuries.

That 4th place in the Vuelta was really good considering his whole year with bad luck. But people without any arguments just saying it's because he's too old. Which is a shame.

Thought he might have let Porte get it. Maybe his thankyou to Porte is gifting him a stage win then.

He'll bend space-time and go for white as well

LRP and G look like they're out on a sunday morning club ride.

Fail.... Porte dropped twice

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador passed already, so the cows felt safe crossing the road.

 

[Red Rick]

Cows on the road, Contador can't like that

 

[LosBrolin]

Cowbots

 

[djpbaltimore]

Watch out for the cows!

 

[FootonFan]

If Contador, Nibali, Valverde, Rolland et. al. are not going to attack on the Tourmalet, why do they even bother lining up? Seriously, are they just going to try and hang on for the rest of the race in pursuit of a top-10?


If the issue is that Sky is simply unattackable, then this is no longer a bike race, but a procession. Another boring TdF thanks to an extraterrestrially-powered team.
