Lol.
Alberto is too nice. I'm glad there's Riis.

spalco said:Yeah they tried, and credit to them for that; but apart from the minute Contador took back on him on stage 9 (or whichever it was), they didn't have any success yet.
Fact is: Saxo needs a huge win to beat Froome, not just a big win. And all of Riis' bluster won't be able to convince me they are able to deliver that until they show me.

murali said:And yes, ASO had built this tour with Froome in mind. That is the only way to explain 2 TTs and the many MTFs.
airstream said:LOL, it's the Tour. It never cherishes with lots of hilly stages. Hilly stages is just the last thing you can carp, desperately searching Froome's weak sides. It is not even an opinion, it's just a little little hope, an ephemeral and illusionary one. No doubt all who root for Contador considered him to take the time on climbs and don't delude yourself saying the opposite and accusing ASO [another lol] of wrong route. If you bet at hilly stages that much, Contador had to do something in Corsic yet.
How long have you followed? Since March? http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=19113
Xrayvision, you simply must admit that it's Contador's fault. Stop accusing ASO of Froome beating Contador.
