Did the Spanish just school Porte? Is his mouth too big?

What's Porte on? Does he have any respect for other teams?

He just got schooled today.

Richie Borg was shooting his mouth off at the Dauphine and yesterday.

Movistar just put a contract on his head and delivered.

Perico Delgado has told that Porte has big mouth and is arrogant with the peloton. Something must had happended at Dauphine with Movistar.;)

Would they not have been better off schooling Froome, rather than his Lieutenant? I mean Porte does come off as a bit condescending to other teams, but personally I'd rather win the race than try to get one over the guy who is favourite's #2. Maybe that's why I'm not a pro cyclist though.

Yeah they schooled Porte
What a big victory :rolleyes:

Btw, Garmin schooled him, not spainiards

Hmm... looked like it was Hesjedel that knocked Kennaugh down the embarkment before the pace went up leaving Porte as the last guy to burn himself to bring Froome back.

Meanwhile, what Porte said yesterday continues to be true.

Quintana went for a moronic forum hero attack, and ended up giving up big time - without it he may well have been a clear 2nd right now, possibly even close to Froome.

I'm not gonna defend movistar but what is Porte? Also not a moron?

He went way too deep yesterday to become 2nd. What was the point of that? If he just let things go (stay with AC) the things that happened today wouldn't occur.

And he also clearly blew himself up today chasing after some guys when he was still with Froome.
