I'm going to buy a dog,name it Froome,and will beat him up every morning and evening.Then will keep him out of food for 3 weeks.Revenge #Tdf

That's why I stopped turn on PC when I'm drunk. I never wrote such a things, but I read interesting thoughts from myself next day. Oleg should do the same. I used to like Froome, now I don't but that's too much.

I think tinkov's twitter has been hacked.

I think tinkov's twitter has been hacked.

he makes the same trolling messages since the beginning of his account. and probably since birth...he's just legendary tinkov, no hacked

lol

I realize that Tinkov means this tweet as just a joke, but I got to say, it's really a pretty stupid thing to say. I find it in poor taste. The guy needs to grow some brains, he clearly has none.

That's so cool indeed. And the little teddy bear on the seat, so cute! I always wanted so know how the Saxo bus looks from the inside, so thanks for finding this link LaFlorecita!

This is a bad time to be a Contador fanboy, but even on the dark times, when Sky is ruling everything and Froome is probably winning every single mountain stage he wants, remember this:

Regardless of how many Tours Froome wins or how many times Contador gets dropped by Porte, just remember that none of them has the talent, souplesse and elegance that Velasco has shown time and time again on a bike.

Neither Porte, Froome or Wiggins will ever leave great memories like this.

great memory indeed. But that was 2 years ago . Sunday, Contador will have a date with his destiny. I have no high expectation, but seeing him fighting would be enough to cheer him on. GO BERTIEEEEE....!!!!!

 

[Jelantik]

Why should Froome chase Hesjedal? The Canadian was already at 8 mins in the GC. They were at the front to drop Porte.

he chased everyone who rides away from him. *dunno why. maybe he likes to stretch his leg just because* That would be his downfall if he keeps doing that in the next mountain.

What a thoroughbred on the bike. Brought a tear to my eye. Go Contador!!!

Froome looks like a drunk donkey on a bike, with his head glued to his power meter, take it away and he would blow up after AC´s third attack.

i'm having a hard time to read contador. If I'm not mistaken, few days ago, he seemed to be down beat, almost like he is switching off. Now reading his comment today, it's totally different.

read his comment here, this is not what we heard few days ago from him. Not that I'm complaining, but is he bluffing in the prior week? or he is starting to feel better now?

Actually I think he's been pretty consistent with his outlook, in that, he thinks he is improving and hopes to be good in the Alps. I think the article Paurrlo (sp) posted the other days was misconstrued to make it sound like he was down, but it seemed the opposite of everything he had said the day before at his rest day press conference. The kid is a fighter and believes in himself. That's enough for me

 

[TANK91]

Just been reading back a few pages and I seriously don't get people saying Froome is not exciting, are you for real? he is no Wiggins lol

Personal attack redacted. Play the pelota not the (wo)man.
Cheers

P.S. not a pro Contador mod.
P.P.S. not on topic either. If you want a ban just let me know, I'm happy to oblige

 

[autologous]

Awww, poor Tank, some people don't like Froome. It hurts Tank so much that he needs to come and cry about it in a Contador thread.

Hm.. The best description that I read, thanks! Go contador! Fuente de was pure magic!

 

[airstream]

You entirely deserved Contador getting smashed by Froome with your piggy attidue. Come on Froome do him in

The trouble is Contador has not made one attack. Drunk donkeys still win bike races.
