Haven't you heard anything before Sept of 2011 doesn't count? That is when the New, Amazing, Skybot who needed a contract suddenly appeared from nowhere. The new Froome is capable of a remarkable performance at FW......[/quote]
It's purely a reconn for Froome. If he can do anything, which I doubt he is interested in, it won't be for himself but could be interesting if he does/can let it it rip. It's not for him though...

Re:
As has been often stated about Fleche Wallone and the Mur, timing is essential and that usually takes multiple actual participations in the event to get it right. If he is in the mix at the base of the final ascent I imagine he will go too soon as many do, blow up and be passed by the more experienced, on form riders. I can't see him winning this. For me it wouldn't be hilarious at all. Personally it would be quite sickening to be honest.

Re: Re:
If he was the strongest rider (and I can't imagine anyone seriously believes he will be) of the race, how can his victory be "sickening"? I'm extremely sceptical he'll finish in the main group any way, so I doubt you'll have much to worry about.

Re: Re:
As I said, it's personal. Don't like Sky and don't like Froome. Certain riders on the team I don't mind their winning but I'm happy for that individual rider's success, not the team's. If Froome wins, which I seriously doubt will happen today, good for him but I won't be popping champagne or firing up a stogie in celebration.

his luck has ran out
he should have taken Vuelta 2011 and TdF 2012 when he had the chances
his times are over

I wonder what he'll jot down in his reconnaissance diary for the Tour.
"Today, everything turned to ***. The stage *** blows. If they attack me here I'm done"

Re:
if in normal shape he won't lose a second to the winner of this stage, in fact he can win some seconds
but i very much doubt he will ever get a clean path toward a gt, with no crashes, illness and other type of distractions.

Re:
If he can stay on his bike he still will be a factor in the grand tours and stage races in general. This season he's shown he's got similar form to his dominant 2013 season. It's just a matter of staying on his bike. His problem is that with his fragile physique, he seems to take falling off his bike harder than most of his rivals.

Sports Director Gabriel Rasch: “Chris was also pretty banged up but showed real courage to finish the race and we’ll assess his injuries overnight. He hasn’t needed to go to hospital and right now as things stand, we’re still expecting him to line up at the Tour de Romandie next Tuesday.He, Sergio and Nicolas Portal are scheduled to do a recon of the cobbled sections on the Tour de France tomorrow"
Seems like Nordhaug is ok,while Poels was sent to hospital for X-Rays as a precaution,because he hurt his shoulder pretty badly.

Whaat? He is tall, mysterious and his face is symmetrical. He is objectively better looking than Contador. Not as good looking as Bradley, but no one in the peloton is that.ray j willings said:SyroboiII said:Froome is so dreamy.
