where the **** is all this hatred for froome coming from.

He goes for wins accross the season not just tdf, has a strong attack and is not afraid to use it (even against team orders), is humble and well spoken about the fans and seems to be well liked by Vino.

The above description does not only describe Froome, it can also perfectly describe Contador. It can perfectly describe Vincenzo Nibali and Phillipe Gilbert too.

Just because wiggins runs his mouth and races defensively yall going to hate on every rider that comes out of great britain for all eternity. Even if that rider has all the qualities you adore in everyone else?

I actually like Froomy He is polite to everyone, well spoken and an aggressive rider.

But I still hope the Great One destroys him

Fair enough, but I think it's mostly because he came out of nowhere and is part of the machine that's called Team Sky.
I'm really looking forward to see him race without Wiggins.
Still I hope Contador will beat Froome.

Oh I dont think ppl hate Froome at all. A lot rooted for him to attack in the Tour. I think a few ppl might think that Sky and their fans might have had enough now though Think that is what it boils down to. I think Froome become a very popular rider if he changes team. Sky just got that "boring" tag after the Tour.

I like him. He should sign for sexy bank and ride for Bertie. Action packed pee-wee!!!

Vino looks ****ing boss in that picture btw.

 

[johnnycash]

I don't think too much should be read into ACs Eneco performance/result. We don't know exactly what his objectives would have been.

His tactical weaknesses, I've always thought, have been made up for through sheer talent. He might have to look at that and having a stronger team with a few old hands wouldn't hurt.

He doesn't look like a boss.... He is an boss.

Ehm...Somehow you forgot the "Riis-effect" here. It isn´t like good ol Bjarne has taken his hand off his adept. Love him or loath him but he is a master tactician. But i agree that it wouldn´t hurt with a couple of old-timers and a stronger Saxo-Bank in general.

That's exactly why I think most people don't like Froome. Nothing to do with being British.

I think Froome's ascendancy has been a bit more organic actually, Wiggins yes he is like a robot engineered by British Cycling and Team Sky. But froome, I think he just wanted to ride and Team Sky have refined him a bit. He might be British, but I believe he's lived not just in Kenya but all over, I think he seems very likeable.

I just want Brailsford bites the dust. His "look at the watts" will kill cycling

Wait ten more months.

And if ASO weren't idiots and ignore the foundations of a law system then we probably wouldn't even talk about him.

Just wait, it'll come. The storm that will cover the "sky".

Contador is the last wall to Sky, if they beat him too, Sky dominates cycling. They pick a strong line up to do that.

i won't call this "look at the watts" racing,i just call it "froomy owns the watts"

barring a little bit robotic racing from wiggo,i don't call team sky boring at all. and in this vuelta we all will see why

 

[airstream]

Contador fans, recollect yourself, otherwise to take reality will be even more painful.

Yes, DB choosed Wiggins over Froome so, "look at the watts"

In Peña Cabarga Froome showed one weakness when he is unleashed, he deeps in red without control.

Has he improve that?
