Re: Re:

Greg Lemond seems like he wants to say something.

Then he should say it. Maybe they have PRR rules at Eurosport.

Obviously he can't as he is on British Eurosport. He kept snickering every time he mentioned Porte

Froome couldn't believe it

I was quite frankly laughing at the 1-2 carnage .........

Sky is the limit!!!

Laughed for a while, now im just livid

Quintana seemed angry as hell too.. Just imagine how angry those riders are atm

 

[BeagRigh]

Ha ha ha ha G "fustrated" by being "stuck behind Valverde"!!!

Some thoughts:

- Froome usually cracks after a really strong day. He's got a huge advantage, but he's going to be taking big attacks in 5 more stages. It will be hard for him to lose it, but I could see it. I think Nairo has the best chance if there are limited TT's. All of his teammates are going to be tired out and aren't gonna be able to be so strong in the next two days.

- Contador usually starts off slow but powers up as he goes on. I don't know if he's got 4 minutes in him, but I expect him to have better days ahead. He can't do the Giro-Tour though. He didn't do well last time he tried it and he's not looking good so far.

- I don't think the jury is out on Nairo., but I think he could take it if he gets under 2 minutes.

- I'm glad Nibali got found out after winning a tour without any strong rivals last year. He's the big loser here. I was getting tired of them pushing him as being so dominant.

Lots of racing to go, so lets see what happens.

Froome now at 1/10 to win the TdF.

Froome dominance is spectacular, but it stands out more because of Contadors and Nibalis *** form. I mean Contador and Nibali loses time to several riders they should normally beat with 1-2 minutes (for example, a pretty heavy dude like Gallopin is well ahead). But I had a feeling that Quintana would be the only real threat to Froome. Nibali has not impressed this year, and Contador would never ride so badly if he hadn't done the Giro.

Even if I was a Froome fan I would be saddened by today because its killed the yellow jersey competition.

Did he really say that?
Oh god.. just.. farcical

Re:

Froome's performance doesn't bother me so much. It is more so Porte's and Thomas's performances that seriously annoy me.

I was saying that to my dad. Froome dropping Nairo, ok, well done. Porte coming back to Nairo and dropping him, Thomas pushing Valverde across the finish? WTF?

 

[WildspokeJoe]

Does this mean Contador won't be riding the Vuelta?

That's what I thought. Not good.

He's not that far off the podium!

 

[Flamin]

Lol, this was like the biggest contrast between pre-race-excitement and anti-climax during a race ever.

 

[phanatic]

What in the world is wrong with Nibali: this is worse than the 2011 Vuelta.

 

[Escarabajo]

G. Thomas is like Hincapie. He will probably win a stage in the mountains later!

Name me one TDF where all the top riders were in top form. If it worked like that every TDF would just have the same top 10 as the previous one.

Getting into form is part of the challenge. Every TDF some riders overperform, some underperform.

 

[Matteo.]

Maybe only the Landa of Giro could follow Froome....

If he stays in the top 10 Sky might send him to the Vuelta.

 

[Arredondo]

I'm curious to see how many big names will retire after the Pyrenees.

On the other hand it was maybe the best TDF stage of this decade.

Landa's going to be Porte next year.
