And this makes any sense because...?

The Hitch said: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?
movingtarget said:Froome is okay and so is Wiggins even if they are totally different riders and personalities. I hope Froome makes an impact at the Vuelta and I think he will. People who are saying Froome came from nowhere have not been paying attention plus he had problems with illness that have been well documented. Sky's victory in the Tour may not have been too exciting but you still have to admire the team and the way they dominated the race. Lot's of preparation went into that performance.

Airstream Stay Strong.....
gustienordic said:Hehehehe! Airstream, good for you for supporting someone most of us dislike!
Carols said:I don't dislike Andy just think he has mostly wasted his tremendous talent, is Soft and lacks the killer instinct of true champion.
Alberto has the talent, the will and the mental fortitude of a Great Champion; win or lose he will Always Try to Win!

airstream said:Any opinions are welcomed in this thread, no? If not, I won't post in order not to impair your enthusiastic idyll.
I can't remember any big risk from Contador. There was no risk in the Telegraph attack. The podium was lost the day before. And surely he couldn't help starting the 2011 Tour consirering sponsor requirements. Lol, his team dragged a forensic process purposefellythat he could start the Tour! What risk are you talking about? I can discern the only risk there - the risk of non-participation in le Tour.

I know, you have lost little Andy, we know the story of Frankie boy, but please, we just want to be happy because the best rider in the peloton is back, and he has shown a good form in a race, where normally a rider like he end outside the top100.

The Hitch said:Of the 170 or so weeks that the clinic has been in existence, i would estimate that Armstrong has been the main topic for about 150 of them, and he hasnt won a race since 2005.
