some nibali fans protest against froome winning and him supposedly undeservedly being on the top of stage racing pyramid, NOT against froome riding when under investigation. ;)

Vincenzo Nibali in Gazzetta dello Sport: "Froome is not banned, the rules allow him to race and I think I would do the same."

Wow. I've never been a big Nibali fan, but that's changing. The honnesty in that quote is something you rarely see! It's so easy for riders to criticize Froome. But if they were 34 and towards then end of their prime would they actually self suspend themselves?

I don't get the self suspension argument honestly.

From both the perspectives of being innocent and guilty I think you'd carry on racing. Maybe less so for the guilty one since you've actually done something wrong but then those type of people might just not care anyways. :lol:

Kimmage is an angel in cycling and if people like him dont ask the relevant questions, who will?

The only problem I have is with hypocrisy.
Someone hating Froome but loving Bertie, Valverde :lol: :lol:

They are clowns mate. They aren't capable of legendary stuff. :lol:
Apparently Froome is also afraid of Bertie. Hence he used to drop him everywhere. :lol:

Not really, there are lots of reason someone could be a fan of Bertie and Bala and not like Froome at all.

I too only knew Farah, Froome, and Hamilton. I don't follow (club) football, nor athletics and other minor sports (I guess some of the others practice that).

I follow football a lot, but still I quite do not know who Kane is, he is just noone in world football, and when I am not fan of premier league, it is logic that he is quite unknown to anyone else outside England
I also know only Hamilton, Froome and Konta :)
Ya, just who is this Kane guy and what has he done lately? :)

pretty much this. though it's all down to a single root cause: froome mustn't have become a top tier gc rider the way he did, mustn't have won grand tours etc. ;) :)
