Re: Re:

Idiotic by Froome and I can see him paying for it hard tomorrow

could you shut you shameful vitriol once and for all, please?

Why are you crying for?

Re:

What the hell are Bora doing allowing Buchmann to ride for 30th on GC or something? His GC is over, he should be dropping time and trying to get in breaks on mountain days. Yet here he is pulling on the front of the Contador group, trying to limit his losses.

German TV went crazy over the sight of him finishing in front of Barguil and Contador. So job well done. His goal is to finish Top 20, and he looks to be on a good way. He's not aggressive enough (yet) for wins from breaks.

Re: Re:

Good ride but also fairly lucky that Quintana gets caught offguard while grabbing a bottle and Valverde takes a long time before he decides he actually wants to help Quintana and try to chase down Froome.

I think Valverde could have caught Froome if he was by himself, but Quintana kept losing his wheel so he had to hold back a bit. At Quintana's size, it's always going to be a potential weakness on long, straight descents like this.

lol.. now Froome is going to win the Tour by doing a decent. Maybe Quintana forgets to train for descending.. It's quite a ride by Froome. We see Quintana's *** of armor... descending.

you know, "engine was always there" - looks like they added enough fuel

Froome to lose yellow on Ventoux...

Re:

Great ride by Froome. Quintana to win Tour !

Pretty much this.

Froome said it was fun, but for me it is clear that Froome doesnt believe in his climbing

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Dan Martin looked surprisingly strong on the climb. Stayed consistently with Froome, Henao and Quintana when others were yo-yoing.

Re: Re:

Froome won the Tour, British domination continues. 5th British win in 8 days.

I'm done with the Tour.

Tour is won in the mountains. We have no idea who's the better climber right now between Froome and Quintana

Oh bollocks, how many times have we seen this **** already? Froome won unless he crashes out. That's all there's to it. Race is over.

Stop playing stupid. The race is not over. Quintana looked really strong uphill but got caught off guard when grabbing a bottle at the top of the mountain.

All these "wahhhh frooome has won now wahhhh tour over" posts are pure AIDS and everyone making them should feel bad.

I'll quote you after the Tour is done then. Can't believe some people still think Quintana can win this. Lol! Quintana didn't look strong at all.

And what if Quintana doesn't win? Froome deserves to be in the lead.

So Froomes not strong either then ?

Congratulations with winning your third Tour, Chris.

Re: Re:

Purito quietly riding very well so far.

He's hardly been mentioned at all and he's sitting 3rd now. Not sure if he can podium but a top 5 is definitely possible

Perhaps he might be on his own ninja mission.

And Quintana doesn't believe he can win the tour. Wtf was that?

If you have some honor as a rider, you follow that attack and don't wait for piti like a ***.

Re:

Today was a bit similar to 2013 stage 9 to Bagnères-de-Bigorre where he won.

I still think he can drop them any time he wants, and showed it right before the descent. Now whether he can sustain that, as in previous years, and stay away from them? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[woodburn]

Froome would have been caught if the group worked. This was more a win of tactics and negative riding by others.

 

[Jancouver]

So Froome pulled a "Sagan" today.

I have to admit, I did not see that coming ... ever

Re:

You came to stay or just another flash appearance? This forum kinda misses you.

 

[Cervelo77]

JC every other team not paying attention over the top was embarrassing. Now Froome can just follow any other attacks.

I'm not even joking when I say SBS in Australia has mentioned his name less than 10 times this whole tour.

Quintana was caught out. It's a mistake for sure !

They still lost to Iceland and their pound is worth nothing.
