Froome is 1-3 years of cracking. He will fall so far short of Alberto's palmAres. 5 tours is so far short of 9-10 GTs in my bookAmnes2015 said:i don't understand this 1st place or bust mentality, imo it's a lack of respect for the employer. 2nd place is better than 10

they were probably giggling about how they made Froome chased them... :lol:
they can giggle as much they want, atm Froome has more Tdf"s than both Contador and Quintana combined.

We all know that's pretty likelyMr.White said:He will finish second in Madrid. The only thing that can stop him is attacking from a far in Aitana stage.
Agree; think he knows it as well. He's been grooming Quintana as an ally rather than a rival in these last few days. The two of them working together definitely have a chance of distancing Froome at Aitana.Mr.White said:He will finish second in Madrid.

somehow some people seem to think that he was better in the 11 giroEscarabajo said:We are not talking about the same rider who defeated Cancellara in the TT in 2009.
Yep, super unluckyVayaVayaVaya said:Bummer about the TTT. He'd be in second with a much better - but still outside - shot at overhauling Quintana with a strong ITT and a little luck.
Pretty equal I'd say, we didn't really get to see that much in 2009. 2 weeks of snoozing and then, bam, Verbier - race over in 20 minutes.Vino attacks everyone said:somehow some people seem to think that he was better in the 11 giroEscarabajo said:We are not talking about the same rider who defeated Cancellara in the TT in 2009.![]()
I agree. Of course many of us really wanted and expected him to take the win here, so it's a little disappointing, but considering the circumstances he is by no means doing badly.VayaVayaVaya said:Plus the crash. People are acting like he is toast and should retire immediately. The reality is he lost a minute in the TTT, suffered a crash, had to recover from a couple Tour crashes, and is STILL barely behind Froome and Chavez. I for one am impressed and even more of a fan every day.
Me too. Hopefully he is lying to him or trying to fool him. Is there any descent where it could be a group of the top4, no movistar, and Alberto goes all Savoldelli?jens_attacks said:i hope alberto is just putting nairo in a false sense of security and destroys him in these last stages
sadly, movistar is uber strong...
