Re: Re:

Thought Contador was ahead hmmm

that ended 30K ago

People posted he went ahead again with Bardet and Aru

He did, but they dropped him.

Froome looks unfazed, like he started riding 5 minutes ago.

Re:

Froome has always looked like a guy who just threw off his stabilisers for the first time. My 4 year old baby cousin is more elegant on the bike than Froome could ever be

Re: Re:

@kokoso I know his results,I just expected a lot better (podium gt at least!) while riding for Sky

The problem was, injury aside it's panned out as we expected and some people feared; König had outgrown NetApp but in signing for a team like Sky that has both a clear hierarchy and some of the world's absolute élite stage racers, he'd be further down the food chain and get less freedom than he got at NetApp when he was clearly their best GC rider at any race with moderately difficult climbing terrain and the team couldn't protect him that much compared to the big specialist units. Now, however, in many races he used to be a team leader in when he was a ProConti rider, he's part of that protection rather than benefiting from it. As a result his results have been decent and he's not regressed, but he's been less visible in the way he's accumulated them.

Re: Re:

Froome dropped half of his snack... unintentionally.
He'll be vulnerable.

Porte will give him a gel.

Yeah... And the question of legality remains.

Always makes me laugh when these guys cue their radios during the race. Looks like Lulu is pinching his nipple to make himself ride harder

Re: Re:

my god why are you taking this so personally? your czech glasses completely blind you from the point of the argument here, which isn't konig, which you don't seem to understand

? You are getting way more personal than him. I think he is making his point just fine, while you are writing about czech glasses and the relationship between contador fans and his a.rse.

if the whole point flies above your hat it's best not to meddle in this.

 

[BigMac]

Emanuel Buchmann looks glorious.

 

[webvan]

Ah the BMC guy (Moinard?) stopped pulling at last...shameful attitude by BMC especially with a guy in front.

 

[rick james]

Aru in trouble...letter coming from Vino soon

 

[Pantani_lives]

Somebody should tell Richie Porte that he doesn't have to work for Froome anymore.

lol, what? They've got a realistic shot at winning the GC; why would they not chase just because they have Hermans in a break; who is just going to get dropped on the climbs anyway?

 

[webvan]

BMC pulling again, ridiculous, they should be fined.

 

[BigMac]

Aru cannot keep up with break pace. Some things simply do not compute.

That's not true, they didn't attack together. Aru attacked before Contador, Bardet after.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

The angel has bonked

 

[Carols]

Aru suffering big time. But the kid has panache!

 

[rick james]

Loving the hate for BMC

 

[GuyIncognito]

According to several people on twitter, Contador attacked, sky set pace to bring him back, then Aru attacked and nobody chased, then Contador he attacked again 1km from the top, Froome went with him and they slowed down to be caught. Then Bardet went.

Is this panache? lol

Sorry, couldn't help myself...

Re:

Some fans hating any team riding for their interests as opposed to against Sky is a constant companion these days.

thats one of the better faces he pulls as well.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Aru needs to shave the pubes off the back of his head
