Great idea to compare Contador's 2nd and 3rd weeks to 2nd and 3rd weeks which literally haven't happened yet.Contador survived how many crashes in the 2015 Giro? Dislocated his shoulder. Suffered in the end. Still won like a champ.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Morality rests on tit-for-tat dynamics.So you're playing tit-for-tat? That's so nice of you. I'd say I'd expect better, but this is the internet so I'd be lying.
Remind me how well Contador survived the crashes in the 2016 and 2014 Tours? This is not the own you think it is.Contador survived how many crashes in the 2015 Giro? Dislocated his shoulder. Suffered in the end. Still won like a champ.
Was jokingly hyperbolic though I think Remco had the best cards and still back himBefore the race:
Evenepoel slid on wet asphalt. He didn't break his leg.Remind me how well Contador survived the crashes in the 2016 and 2014 Tours? This is not the own you think it is.
Don't remember Contador breaking his leg in 2016.Evenepoel slid on wet asphalt. He didn't break his leg.
DittoI was one of the guys who voted for Tao before the start of the race, so I'm surely not gonna change my stance now.
Why do you have to be to petty? Surely expecting Remco to win wasn't out of the ordinary and that can still happen, but as it stands now hes no longer the favorite. Thats pretty much the nature of stage racing, and I don't see anything wrong with expecting one thing before the race and something else 9 stages in.Before the race:
Voting one rider and posting another rider: smart move! Doubling your chances on being correct.Geraint Thomas will win
Because I picked him in the pre race poll for the memes and because I am firmly on track to meme this into existence as well.
I didn't think, I only thought of my meme vote later and I forgot @Netserk won't let me change votes.Voting one rider and posting another rider: smart move! Doubling your chances on being correct.
It was not exactly an invisible vote.Voting one rider and posting another rider: smart move! Doubling your chances on being correct.
He has another ITT to take 4 seconds and just follow Roglic in all the other stages.I am just wondering has Tao ever in his life droped Roglic ?I mean , I fail to see how could he beat him
has he ever beaten Rogla in a TT before ? Will he be able to outsprint him for bonus secs?He has another ITT to take 4 seconds and just follow Roglic in all the other stages.
Today and on stage 1has he ever beaten Rogla in a TT before ?
