Re: Re:

He won Contador by a minute on Terminillo.Froome havent proved he can do that this season.[/quote]

Froome dropped Contador in Andalucia but this is about Froome vs Quintana and they were both mediocre this year.In Romandie Quintana didn't show he can be better than Froome.

Mediocre?
Quintana has won the hardest stage race of the spring

Ok he was amazing there,but after that he was just decent in Pais Vasco(were he was the main favorite)and Romandie.You talking about a GT winner and contender you can't play songs for him winning a stage/one week race.If you consider that Quintana was good this year then how would you consider Porte performances?

Very good.He is a good stage racer, but he wouldnt have won against the best.

 

[lenric]

Quintana's stronger now than he was back in 2013. He's even better mentally. But the most important thing is that he's more experienced.

I don't know if it's enough to beat Froome, since now he has also more experience and probably won't go full *** mode when not needed, but let's wait and see.

All in all, we can't draw any conclusions who's the better one until Tour de France obviously. It doesn't matter what they did earlier this season, who knows what their training was? Different bodies require different approaches in training, rest periods, etc.

and not even a tweet to support his mate porte. (He tweeted photos of him so that means he got reception out there). I thought they're good friend?

Because you can only support people on social media ?

Who knows, maybe Froome called him up. A little more personal and meaningful than a tweet.

[Velolover2]

Which race is Froome riding as a Tour warm-up? Dauphine, Suisse or Route du Sud?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

It will be the ASO setup......

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome is happy. The little helper can concentrate on what he does best, serve the master in France.

Re: Re:

They both need drastic improvements for TDF or Nibali will run home with the prize again.

Not entirely sure what happened but Chris made a joke on twitter (yet he had point) and he now earned himself the hate of the entire tennis community

 

[SeriousSam]

Tennis players can be forgiven about being a little paranoid with fans coming too close or possibly getting on the court, given what happened to Monica Seles.

bored with the hate on this entire side, he decided on something elsewhere

True.

I think Michelle makes most of the tweets on the Dog's account anyway.

Froomey's squad for the Tour suddenly looks phenomenal.

Froome Porte Poels Roche Kennaugh Rowe Thomas Stannard + 1 other

Eisel Henao Kiryienka Knees Lopez

 

[Mr.White]

Yeah, Porte is in fenomenal form

oh for godShake.. porte is going to recover just fine. He hasn't even spending that much energy yet. The only recovery he needs.. is his mental. That one that quiet a beating.

Looking at the TOC I think Boswell would be a good climbing domestique for the tour.
