Ah what a sad sight. Such a fan that you are forced to defend his unfortunate looks. As to what came first, science has proven the bird came first. :p

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.
Dunno bout that, here he is pictured training for Romandie

Undeniably symmetric though, that's true

I want to clarify. This is actually a made up photo of a H R Giger designed alien, photo shopped on a bike. Sky ride Pinarello bikes and that alien is not looking at his stem. So to confirm that's not egg faced Froome but a made up image.

VAM over the entire training session: 636
Contador had 540

Froome 1, Contador 0.
Not sure if trolling or just stupid :eek: you can't calculate VAM because they obviously didn't go uphill the entire time :eek:

After seeing Porte's team for the Giro.

Looks like Froome will have the following for the Tour:

Henao Poels Roche Kennaugh Thomas Stannard Eisel Knees

Eisel have no place in Tdf, beside being loyals of Wiggo Eisel is one of the responsibles for last years Froome's fall (several km's after stage start they weren't anywhere near his front wheel)

imo

Stannard
Rowe
Thomas
Kennaugh
Porte
Henao
Roche
and an 8th between Kiri, Suitsou, Pate and Knees

Yes Porte will be there too, my guess either Knees or Eisel will miss out.

not that it has any importance

There's no comparison between Froomey and Contador.
While Froome is an extraordinary athlete and a personality, Contador is just an athlete overhyped by the bunch of immature "fans".

The only planet upon which Froome is a personality is his home planet. Maybe he's considered better looking than Bertie on that self same planet. But here on Earth, not a chance.

But thanks for posting, Sir Fly. I was in need of a laugh. :)

Coffee, anyone?

Lol, Electress, so true :D. You can compare Froome and Alberto all you want as cyclists, every measurable aspect from climbing power to toe size or whatever, and Froome might come out winning. But when it come to look and personality...they are in different groups, Chris is in the gruppetto and about to miss the cut.

This is dumb,that was a training with Little Richie doesn't have nothing to do with Contador.There were some words attached:"Long day of climbing with Richie Porte .Good company always helps the time fly by"

Anyway back on topic and not in the beauty pageant or personality parade, Froome looked ok yesterday despite being isolated, losing Thomas of course didn't help that.

They are typical for their zones, Froome could pass as ok looking in GB & SA, Contador is the typical sun tanned latino. Overall , in a miss contest, i think Contador wins :D
