The French know their stuff

Btw I've been to Risoul 2 years ago which makes it even better. It wasn't there then though, there was just Quintana's face on one of the hairpins

I'm sure Florecita's got a champagne bottle ready for July 24... just in case.

Florecita has not just 1, but 10. Meanwhile, by the July 24, if Contador wins, I'll have a plane ticket to NL and whatever chocolate she prefers.

Sorry friends, I won't be around on July 24 I will miss all stages after the first rest day, but usually that means Alberto will win

Like, miss-miss? Not watch at all? No bars? No pirate streams for Ventoux? Shame..

what

 

[Valv.Piti]

Can I get an update, whats the vibe, Froome vs Contador, Dauphine? I feel like its very much a 50/50, slight advantage Contador. He is at 4 now at bet365, I feel like thats way too good.

Yes I was not around to watch the 2nd half of the 2007, 2009 and 2010 TDF (although I managed to catch some stages in bars in 2010 ) and I did follow (almost) the entire race in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015

In Austria we always have a bottle of champagne in case the person we want to win really wins, and a bottle of liquor in case he doesnt

Well then I'm very glad you won't be watching!

I'm scared the few stages in bars in 2010 cost him the victory...

4 is pretty high. If Froome were like 2 or higher I'd arb the hell out of that market

 

[portugal11]

I said many times that contador will crush le tour but i was kidding, i know that contador will have a "hard time" to beat quintana and froome. I'm so afraid that he won't be capable of following froome in the mountains because i think he lacks something...maybe acceleration. Pais vasco was terrible for me, i never see contador so vunerable there, henao was stronger than him and in he past he beat guys like valverde, purito, evans, etc and now he's weaker than henao??? I think he will win tomorrow's stage but stage 6 will give me a lot of answers

 

[Miburo]

Henao is a beast in one week races. You followed cycling since this year?

He's better than piti or evans ever were in one week races.

Lol... he isn't better than valverde at this muritos...

Yea he is imo but it's not even about that. Show me what piti has done in one week races and compare it to Henao in his young career. Btw the mur of Huy isn't such a great murito, piti isn't that good at muritos at all.

As a matter of fact, show me how great Froome or Nibali are in one week races? Not that great at all.

Contador and Quintana should be given loads of credit for being competitive in every race they do. Do you think Quintana can't win the tour cause he was dropped in PV by contador, pinto, purito and henao?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Henao is better than Valverde at muritos (the man who has won 4 F-W, kinda ironic, isn't it?), but thats about it. Valverde is a world class one week stage racer, about the only race Henao is better than him is in Pais Vasco.

Nice new bike for Alberto
