That's fool's gold, Gerry, fool's gold.

Ugh, Thomas.

Re: Re:

Tejay always looked to be the freshest up that climb yet the only one who didn't attack. Disappointed.

Why would he? He is in 2nd position and has no need to because he will never beat Froome

Let's be real, he would never attack anyways.

Wheelsucker pur sang.

And the others will? As I said, he looked to be the freshest. If anyone there was dropping Froome it was him. Not saying he would, but those with smaller chances did try.

This is more like kiss chase with Froome as the playground hunk, and the others bedazzled little girls

He certainly won't beat Froome if he never even tries.

Riding for second= riding for first loser.

I am happy knowing he will have a bad day somewhere a fall back to his rightful place somewhere in the middle of the top 10.

Re:

Froome tried to ride away, couldn't do it. Is his shape dropping or is the rain?

Hmmm, if movistar and tinkoff still want to win this, it's maybe not over.

He realized that being too dominant would lead only to doping suspicions

I've been thinking this exact same thing. But each time I do I'm thinking nah, it can't be done. Not whilst Thomas and Porte are in the race.

 

[Vino's Mum]

G to win on Alpe D'Huez

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Teejay Leipheimer's wheelsucking is making Valverde jealous.

 

[Aristarchus]

Thrilled for Purito, for going for it and getting it. But seeing Thomas leading the GC pack this far... I'll leave that alone.

Re:

Ugh, Thomas.

he rode SO strongly that Pinot is still there.

 

[Arredondo]

So Purito surely has the form to fight for the polka dots this year!

Not realy, froome doesn't care about that. He's badshit crazy, besides he tried to attack so i think he just couldn't do it.

Re: Re:

At the moment, Tejay looks good for podium.

Well, that would make a certain porn star happy.

??

Yes, please clarify.

 

[Sasquatch]

Van Garderen is a wheel-sucker. He will NEVER attack. He doesn't have the balls for it.

Re:

What? Looked to me like he was about to be dropped a couple of times earlier in the climb.

 

[Irondan]

I get it. Teej wouldn't attack if his mothers life depended on it but why would he at this point. The air is really rare at the height he's flying. Too easy to fall back to earth....

What do you mean? Pinot is where he belongs. Geraint not quite where expected.

Good point.

 

[sir fly]

Too big group coming together.

 

[goggalor]

Ouch, poor Meintjes.

Re:

Shame PDB no longer has its - win PDB win the TDF record.

That record was broken 4 years ago. oh well... nobody remembers what happened in that stage for good reasons

 

[Psalmon]

Quintana can't drop Thomas? What the...?

 

[Sasquatch]

Re:

Hopefully. My interest has picked up again now that Rodriguez looks like he's getting his form back.

Good point.

Only someone who knows nothing about cycling would think that's "good point."
