Re: Re:

LEGENDARY performance. LEGENDARY

Best I have ever seen live.

Same here

Make that 3.

 

[DNP-Old]

I applaud this man. Greatest performance I have ever seen. Thank you.

 

[MatParker117]

Legend.

Ditto. What a ride.

 

[Red Rick]

Ohwell.

If you have legs like that, this was an easy decision

I don't really admire easy decisions.

 

[Pippo_San]

Yup. Legend is the word after today.
Totally deserved.

 

[Forever The Best]

80 km solo _O_
The greatest triumph of Froome, definitely. Legendary ride.

 

[Netserk]

Legend _O_

 

[bigcog]

Never thought I'd see him do a ride like that. Outstanding.

 

[Ataraxus]

The best rider of this generation.
Fuente De and Galibier look minuscule now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Single best performance I've ever seen in this or any sport. What a legend.

 

[DFA123]

Legendary performance today. The strongest rider on the climbs, the bravest on the descents and the ballsiest in terms of tactics.

 

[Ataraxus]

I've seen Galibier 1998.
I'd put this one right after that.
Fantastic!

 

[Koronin]

Actually I have less respect for him after today, and anything else I have to say only belongs in the clinic section of the boards.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Everyone's got a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth.

Bam.

[Vino attacks everyone]

Most epic ride I’ve ever seen.

[Arked]

So that's what happens when Sky is forced to go berserk instead of riding defensively, calculating seconds constantly.

 

[carton]

I said once that Froome was maybe the greatest roleur in the world but he was never really tested. That was and is still overstating it.

But still, all the guys saying over the years that Quintana should attack him over the valleys got a taste of what that would've looked like.

Although you are not wrong, the irony is strong coming from the biggest Valverde fan of this forum.

 

[Brullnux]

Everyone here is giving him way too much credit re tactics. Today was just pure, brute, demoralising, crushing strength. It's very easy to attack from 80km when you then gain 30-40 seconds on the way to Finestre. And Sestriere.

Exactly. Easy decision. Especially as groups fracture so hard behind you.

This wasn't even high risk, there were no negative implied odds.

Indeed, no tactics necessary when you have the power he had today.
