Doesn't seem very hot today. Probably no hydration issues with any of the riders
How do you get away with this and I've been banned for less

Maybe I'm thick but I honestly don't see what he might be saying that's bad, other than referencing Contador's excuses which is very tame.

As for the last part of your post, I can believe that.

He comes into the thread every single day and references baiting people into reacting. The anti contador brigade are worse then the anti froome mob

Froome with a super performance. he caught them one by one. fantastic to see.
Not really fantastic. He lost 30 seconds to Quintana, his biggest rival.

It was fantastic in the same way that Contador losing nearly 30 seconds on La Camperona was fantastic and a miracle according to some people - which I still don't really understand.

Almost all of SS' posts are light hearted and humorous. This one included. He doesn't bait, if you respond angrily then that's sort of your fault for not getting it.

It was a smart ride. If he had tried to stay with Quintana he probably would have lost around a minute.

It was also interesting to see. But it wasn't fantastic, you're right there, that would have been taking 30+ seconds on Quintana, not losing 25.

I have to say.. I'm amazed how the Tour guy was the one that's dominating the Vuelta. Froome.. dropped and got back. Contador? I've never convinced that he has the fitness to take on these guys even without his injury. Quintana looks more and more like the real race leader. But Froome is still dangerous. He rode smart and dropped Contador in return. Impressive ride by Froome.
