Miburo said:Bloody Henao, already the second time he ruined something for Contador this year
Seemed only porte, bardet and froome could follow.
Based on this picture it's obvious though he wasted a lot of energy on the madeleine
Valv.Piti said:Did you watch it? Nah, you didn't. Sure, he most likely spent more energy than the rest probably, but so did Froome on the front in the finale and he still managed to gap Contador rather easily.
It wasn't as bad as yesterday and all things considered, it was a decent ride today, but don't try to spin it to something more. Froome still had much more power in the finale and who knows what would've happened if the climb was harder. It was an easy climb the last 5 kilometres.
Then you better watch the finale againTheYouyou7 said:Valv.Piti said:Did you watch it? Nah, you didn't. Sure, he most likely spent more energy than the rest probably, but so did Froome on the front in the finale and he still managed to gap Contador rather easily.

The only moment Froome was on the front was when Martin dropped him otherwise he was always on the wheels.

Lol. Froome was the best from all the favourites today, put Time in A.C and Porte only outsprinted by Dan Martin. What about Porte? How are his recovery skills
Recovering Problems based on todays stage.... have you seen the last 2 stages of last years dauphine?
Also about the last 2 stages of last years Dauphine,he was against TVG ffs
when all else fails, play that nationality card.
How much fans Froome has outside UK?
How much fans Contador has outside Spain?
Come back to me after answering these
And how much is it in total?Forever The Best said:Twitter followers,facebook followers,fans on international forums.Enough?

That's the second attack near the summit. According to the other pictures he couldn't close the gap to Bardet there.

I know that there are more fans of Contador who are not the same nationality then Froomes who are not the same nationality on this forum and another forum.sir fly said:And how much is it in total?Forever The Best said:Twitter followers,facebook followers,fans on international forums.Enough?
You need endurance to be able to keep up. Endurance comes from base.LaFlorecita said:Looks like Alberto needs to train on responding to attacks, the base is there but he cannot really keep up his accelerations yet.
