It would be great to see African born Froome win the Olympics for German family full of Nazi sympathisers

He win for him, and for people as David Kinjah an all that that means. I dont think Contador is going to win for our thieves and corrupt royal family.

"Corrupt?" Ok...

 

[dacooley]

froome doesn't look super hot to put it mildly. on the other hand, nib's tour win with a 10 minutes handicape over the 2nd rider makes any categorical predictions hilariously ridiculous, to lets expect until the dauphine at least.

 

[Red Rick]

Well, Froome has gone from worse to suddenly great in the DL before. Nibali had always been bad in the Dauphine, and actually less bad than normal there.

If Contador was riding like this in the spring, it would be a lot more worrying

Of course they are corrupt . Learn your history. if your happy for your hard earned money to go towards the biggest, richest spongers in the world then so be it.

 

[SeriousSam]

Good time trial, good climbing. Looks on track for thermonuclear form at the Tour. He's not getting better, though, and he'll likely be facing the strongest version of Quintana yet. Should be a good duel.

 

[Gigs_98]

Would be quite funny if he wins tomorrow

lol

 

[JRanton]

Yeah, his form is fine. Probably about the same as at last year's Romandie.

 

[TomLPC]

Good to see from froome, great racing spirit

 

[jens_attacks]

What a fighter, well done froomey!

 

[sir fly]

Besides panache he showed, the way he rode - bigger gears, off the saddle..., is telling me he's in the strength phase of his preparation. His time trialing will benefit from it, as well.

 

[Eclipse]

Great showing today, he's going to be right where he needs to be come his big goals

 

[cineteq]

I'm not impressed that he won a stage....I'm impressed he did it in the rain! Now, can he win a stage in the rain, and descending to the finish beating Nibali?

I'm perfectly fine with it, considering that the taxpayer only pays just over £1 a year to fund the royals.

But anyway, we're getting off topic, and your posts, both cycling and non cycling related, are getting tiresome.

I am entitled to my opinion. We give money to one of the richest familys in the world and
you are ok with that.
I would rather that money go to the NHS or a worthwhile cause. But then again I'm not a brain washed moron like so many of you out there in goo goo land.
Don't tell me that they create more wealth . They don't . When you account for all their expenses they only cost money, our money. Go check your history and see who how they got hold of all that land and wealth. Criminals.

Nice ride by Froome today although TJ seemed to do more of the work. Not sure of his form to fight for a tour win at the end it was only a few seconds. I think Quintana and the others could have ate him up if he was a threat for overall. Still good to see him pushing in the rain as well. Sort of expected it really. TJ really could do with some tactic lessons.

I don't agree with what Ray says on here much, but I am with him on this: the Royal family are parasites.

On topic: I never seen it, but I really think Froome needed this. Yes, he is putting his form back a bit, but if he was 17 minutes down again today, that would be a concern. Great result.

Fairly sure taxus was referring to the spanish royal family

For what it's worth, many people in Britain are against the royal family. Tbf, the financial cost of the royal family isn't as high as people think, given the amount of money they generate through events such as the royal wedding.

But it's such an outdated system - feeding the taxpayers money to a family just because of their heritage...

 

[jens_attacks]

Royal families belong to dark ages not this century. Booooo!


So dauphine next for him, no?
