Too many people believe Valverde will do well,so now i expect him to not even try

Re:
Do you think Froome couldn't win Fleche if he acctually targetted it? The Worlds is obviously a different matter and I doubt Froome will ever seriously contend a world RR although I wish he would because I enjoy it when other GC guys like Nibali are in the mix.

Sagan ftw. Hopefully his sprint will be so powerful, that he gaps Froome and takes the MJ on the bonus seconds.

Froome will take it, followed by Sagan with a few seconds gap. He will see this as an opportunity to get more buffer time over his rivals.
Someone who makes outragous claims like you isn't to be taken seriously. Like saying Froome is the best stage racer of all time. Clearly shows no sense of history whatsoever. There's at least 15 riders ahead of him historically speaking
Re: Re:
He did more than just call you a troll. He explained that FW is harder than the stage they did this year in the Tour.

Re:
15 riders, please tell me i can think of 5 that you could argue are better no more.Dekker_Tifosi said:
Calling someone a troll because they don't share the same opinion will get your post deleted. Please keep the thread respectful to all members.

Re: Re:
Well, Evans won Fleche Wallonne, Froome didn't, there's a point of view.
And Froome didn't climbed faster up the Mur than Evans, he was slower 4 seconds despite stage was 40km shorter then classic FW and also much, much easier. There's another point of view

Obviously, his ONE grand tour GC qualifies him for such praise over lazy bums like Merckx and Hinault

Re: Re:
Even in his wheelsucking years he had glorious moments. Plus I always got the sense he left it all on the road. It should be no shame to talk Evans up. Serre Chevalier chase, Empire Pass descent and win in Park City, his classics wins etc etc. I don't care if Froome has and will achieve better GC results, I think he will never be half the rider Cadel was.

I'm wondering so many people put Froome on 1 for this stage.
Since when he's better on these kind of finishes then Purito, Dan Martin and Sagan?

Re: Re:
Ill admit Froome is behind those two at the moment, but i think he is on par with Contador, Armstrong and indurain. If he wins this tour beating Contador, nibali and Quintana it would be the most impressive gt win perhaps of all time, Froome will then have a place amongst the greats. Lets not forget Froome says he will ride till 40, he can pick another 10-11 gt in that time.pitchnduel said:
Re: Re:
Merckx, Hinault, Bobet, Coppi, Bartali, Fignon, Contador, Anquetil, Indurain, Binda, Koblet, Gaul, LeMond, Pantani, Nibali.
That's just off the top of my head, there are many more.

Purito is better on steaper hills, Sagan is not going to pass the steep 1st km, Martin is overhyped.Arredondo said:
