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".

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSEEERRRRRR.... you have special pillow with Froomes "eggman" face printed on it and love him.

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.

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.

Re bolded: Hum, when I compare them I think 6 (8) GTs to 1 :)

Of course, but I said 'might' so it's open to every argument that involve numbers and give Froome a chance :). The point of Electress' post is in the unbolded part anyway.

The real "Who is better looking of the top riders?" hierarchy:

Fabian/Wiggo
Froome
Cavendish
Porte
Kittel
Voigt
Boonen
Hejsedal
Andy
..
..
Horner
Contador
...
Dan Martin
.
..
...
....
Evans

I think most people would agree on that.

If Froome fanbois are going to resort to criticizing Contador's looks, personality and voice and speculating about his sexuality, of course that's going to attract Contador fans.[/quot

Tbf, that's exactly what Contador fan boys do to Froome :D
Not really, I do like to make fun of his riding style but I would never criticize him for any of the things posted above. He is a cyclist not a cover model. Ray j did mention Froome looks like an egg but that was a reply to SyroboiII who posted Froome is handsome and dreamy looking :p If I would post something about Contador's looks (as I have in the past) I would expect some replies stating he looks weird/strange/odd. :p It is something else to take cheap shots at a rider out of nowhere and even state things such as "Froome would lose to Contador in a Mr Gay contest" that's just wrong and stupid on so many levels.

So you are admitting that Froome is better looking than Contador? :) I'm just stating the obvious, that more women and homosexual men would be attracted to Froome rather than Contador.

Froome is tall, lean and handsome. Contador, not so much.

No need to take it so personally, unless you are a girl friend of Contador. And even if you were, you should understand that it was only a kind of humor, because everyone knows that Alpuerto is a real man, full of testosterone and strong as a Spanish beef bull.

I did not take it personally and I do think most of it was humor and the rest was trolling :) but humor and trolling do not excuse distasteful comments.

Pardon me for noticing, but you're an epitome of distaste when it comes to comments about Contador's rivals.
