do you feel pain in your heart when you say this?
or you are just trying to lower your expectation to record low then waits for a big surprise

Neither

Meanwhile CF is sweating it out on Ventoux :

He is thinking "Oh Alberto will crush me there"

Haha very nice don't let MC hear it

 

[jaylew]

Havent we had the same news story about 50 times since July?

It's all about the timing...

Yeah but Wiggo doesn't want to hear it...

Seems that way

 

[webvan]

So, a defending champions of the Tour won't be able to defend his title because of what? Because his teammate wants to win it? Team Sky is bound to lose the TdF title this year, believe me.

Don't worry, if Wiggo still has the legs after the Giro he'll get his chance to defend his title. However the way the Giro is starting he might be too tired to give it a shot!

Looks to me like Michelle is trying to be a photographer.

Theres a Froomestorm coming. The talk of Wiggins will look ridiculous come July because this guy will annihilate him

 

[jens_attacks]

they say froomey's has beat mayo's record on the first attempt of relaxed training ride up ventoux

he looks strong, mighty strong

It could have been really funny if it hadn't been so sad.

This thought hit me too. Apparently Froome will be like a hungry lion that is released from a cage in the Tour.

Actually he doesn't look strong at all but that doesn't mean anything. It's quite obvious he'll destroy everyone. 1 minute plus on every climb? Damn, when was the last time a tour win was this certain beforehand, 2005?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Why is it sad? Because the post wasn't hailing Froome, the best climber ever? not everyone switches alliances as fast as you.

I wonder, if Andy finishes second to Froome in july, will you laugh or cry? I guess you'll just troll Alberto fans and tell them how pathetic they are since that is all that you ever do.

Cheer up, girl. That is typical Sky move. They try to frighten all the opponents in the press. Wiggins double rumor was all about that. How strong will be Froome against the very best guys we can only guess so far. I suspect he'll surprise a lot of people with his attacking style. You may disagree. Now you and me are right (and wrong) equally.

Hm, alliances? Or belief itself should make me yell in any thread 'Andy I hope you'll win the Tour no matter how it is going now'? I'd discuss Andy gladly if I had someone to do with. No news-no discussion.

Yeah and this is not bad picture, except that Froome could be on the other side to make it more "dynamic"...unless she wanted to show he was "done" with the climb...I wonder what camera it is because HDR is used here and it doesn't work too well with moving subjects normally.

The contrast is weird.. it looks like an instagram picture.

And I suspect it's photoshopped - boo

 

[webvan]

Well that's what you get with HDR, maybe someone who tweets can ask her ;-)

I won't ask her lol hdr photoshops your photo?

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Dark clouds surrounding Chris, shouldnt read too much into that.

 

[webvan]

No HDR takes two or more pictures with different exposures and then merges them, I'm sure there is a good wiki on that ;-)

Ah, okay, hmm it doesn't look good, there is an obvious line between the clear sky and the cloudy sky.

 

[williamp78]

It's not an HDR photo. Might be photoshopped but i suspect not

 

[Coolair2970]

It is just like 1986, when Hinault promised to help Lemond and the attacked him on every chance he got.

I Believe that Wiggins will do everything possibly to win the Tour, and there is only one thing Froome can do. Be the best rider

No photo doping talk allowed here.

I think Jens made it up.
