Christian said:Completely agree, which raises the question - where did he find that amount of sun?! Seems to me it's been mostly raining over here... secret Tenerife training camp?!

Gugashwill said:Andy looks just fine. Both physically and mentally.
I wonder what did he mean by saying "surprise of the Tour" earlier this week.
That should be a very high overall placing. Everything else won't be surprising.
nick101 said:Lol Andy has a gf. No more of his antics with the pretty girls . Could someone briefly explain why Froome's girlfriend is so bad?
Ryaguas said:Check her tweets from a year back
nick101 said:Too lazy. Can't someone explain in a few sentences??
Ryaguas said:nah well talking BS and bashing Wiggins and stuff
nick101 said:Well some of that attitude rubbed off onto Froome imo. He pretty much kicked Wiggins from first equal in the Sky leadership, to fourth in a brutal coup. Now Wiggin's is a broken man and may not do another GT ever. Not a Wiggin's fan but you can't help but feel sorry for him. Hopefully Andy's gf is better
Afrank said:Froome didn't do that, Froome just did his thing and won races for the most part. Wiggins fall from grace was all his own fault.
nick101 said:How? we all know Froome didn't want Wiggin's in a similar leadership position at Sky as Wiggins could've threatened his leadership position. Yes Wiggins certainly was unlucky at the Giro, but he didn't deserve the result he got. Your attitude appears similar to the Italians, who were cheering when Wiggins crashed and booed him when he was racing. To demote a recent Tour winner completely out of any leadership is just stupidity. Sure Froome deserves a high leadership position at Sky and this years Tour leadership, but Wiggins didn't deserve to be treated that way.

Ryaguas said:P.D: Who would have thought that my first post after such a long time would be in Andy's thread haha

Taxus4a said:He is the only man in this Tour that for conditions and for situation, could invent something magic, something to remember, as he did in Galibier.
Anyway I expect some fireworks from Garmin as well.
I was a little borried after Lux Champs and what Andersen said, but he seems to be ok.
