2016 TdF, Stage 8: Pau → Bagnères-de-Luchon (184km)

[laurensde+]

Seriously, the Contador I see doesnt look decent at all

Thats true, but its all about hanging there on Peyresourde

Otoh Im nervous as he has no teammate to pace him if dropped e.g. 3k from the top

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Contador hasn't influenced the GC of this race since 2010.

 

[bassano]

Yeas, why he waste energy to do that, Quintana Nibali or Contador would never do that
but maybe he need to release some energy before last attack

 

[Samamba]

Re:

He is after KOM jersey, he made sure he picked up some points on previous climb too.

Then why does he let Poels pick up the points?
Froome probably thought that Tinkoff was trying to attack on the descent, he's a ***.

Re:

I really hope that one day the peleton will make Froome pay for his arrogance (stealing KOM points, contesting flat sprints, etc.)

He never contests sprints though does he? He tries to be on the right side of any gap, how is that arrogant?

Re:

Sky doing their best to make enemies I see

What? Just Majka? Who's Majka working for? No-one but himself.

Bit of a waste of energy from Froome

It's called racing.

There's a lot to complain about Froome but this shouldn't be one of those points. Actually the opposite. :exclaim:

Haters will look for any excuse to hate.

Merckx must have been the biggest tw*t going...

Very observant.

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome inflicted sweet revenge on behalf of his good friend Alberto and punished that disrespectful Majka.

Re:

Majka thinking that everything is free in this Tour.

no more winking

 

[Alexandre B.]

Is there a command "/off" in the back of Sky jerseys?

 

[rick james]

Re:

Froome tw*t

why do you care? you don't like Majka anyway

 

[sir fly]

Sky slapped Majka on Contador's behalf.
Nothing unfair there. If he wanted the points, he should've kept himself in front of the pack.

 

[Velolover2]

Froome is almost scaring me. You know it's serious business with he has that super-acceleration.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Haha nicely done by Froome! Unfortunately it had nothing to do with Majka, he just wanted to get in the best possible position for the descend.

 

[spalco]

I laughed, funny move by Sky.

Poels took them by accident imo, we've seen that before.

otherwise i am afraid the road pavement would rip when he accelerates!

But froome did not won it, he must be dissapointed

Wilco you poor bastard

 

[rick james]

Kelderman slips on a corner

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re: Re:

Is it Contador zipped down?

Have we ever seen him do anything good zipped down ?

 

[sultanofhyd]

Keldermerckx down!

 

[Velolover2]

Kelderman taken out.
