39th Route du Sud 2015

Nairo looked PIIIIISSSSED before and after he crossed the finish line.

He's a professional, he should expect attacks from anyone and everyone anywhere and everywhere.

Nah, he's just the pro peloton's Kristen Stewart.

Clearly a very nice atmosphere for the fans.

Thank you for the pictures Antoine

The picture from Michael Rogers looking down at Quintana is a good one. Maybe we should do a caption on what he is thinking. Something like "Is this tiny little dude a threat?"

You really can see deeper than the average person!

Re:

What is the excuse this time Nairo worshipers?

The road surfaces were too rough?
Too much humidity?
The grass was too tall?
Bronchitis?
Hasn't raced enough?
Jet lag?
Too much sun?
Little sun?
Too much air?
Little air?

Hahaha

Are you for real?

Are you going to do this during the whole Tour?

Really, this is the Route du Sud man. Wake up.

Contador beat him on the descend where his skills are clearly better than Quintana's.

Why do you have to post such a stupidity for such a little thing.

Don't need to start a fire over this.

So much unfair hate on Quintana when Contador did the same to Froome on Col du Beal last year. Still glad Contador won and that he wasn't boooed on Bagneres de Luchon this time

Thanks from me too

The expression of Quintanas face at the finish line... Lol. Totally blank. Best pokerplayer ever

Nice one by Alberto. Hard not to like him.

Tbh there is one rider who also always goes for the win and is mostly despised here. Froome ofcourse.

Except for every race after Tour de France.

Why didn't Quintana attack. It was well within his abilties

 

[meat puppet]

Well Conti was there measuring quintana. Why would quintana give him any relevant data? It's all mind games for now.

So Quintana has no problem following all of Contador's attacks on the climb and the natural conclusion from the Contador fanboy army is that Contador is a much better climber right now.

Who said that? Come on give me the quotes.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it's hilarious that people judge this at all. quintana just returned since a few days from colombia, with 0 racing days in his legs since april and contador with supercompensation out of the giro can't drop quintana on a climb and yet somehow to contador fans this is good

Who the hell said that? Sounds like a load of ***.

Re:

We don't know that, and maybe he felt he wouldn't be able to drop Contador or he didn't want to attack to take a couple seconds with a long descent coming up.

Froome was also with 0 racing days in Dauphine, you saw what he did there?!

yeah he sucked and could barely drop van garderen wel until he was 7 stages into the race? quintana has done what?2-3 stages... against contador?

Well, Froome did 6.2-6.4 W/kg for 20 mins (depending on source) after four cat one climbs in the queen stage of Dauphine, and when he really put the hammer down TJ dropped ~20 secs in a couple of kilometers in that stage.

Contador and Quintana did 5.6 W/kg for 35 mins in an easy stage in an easy stage race, and they even couldn't drop Pierre Latour. Contador seems to be on the same level as in Giro and Quintana on the same level as in April. TJ would have dropped them both like a stone.
