@rick james...come on...you keep calling posts to be off-topic (it belongs to the LA thread) when it's the same thing, basically: the super team with a nobody winning multiple Tours. Blaming the skeptics, who don't dream big.
Some here argue that the masses will not completely understand, or don't care, but I garantee you that The French (oooooh they are bad, Lappartien spiked the drink, it's a conspiracy) will not put up with this. They knew. Like anybody with an IQ larger than their shoe size. The LA/USPS dish served again.
And some poor blokes like my buddy portugal11 were blaming The French for treating Froome so badly. Like Contador. Well, they smelled the rat. the same dish. The BS. We're talking about a national treasure here: Le Tour.
When I saw Froome run up the Ventoux, I cheered for him. The awkward spare bike episode was hilarious, and I caught my self cheering for him. Portal whined, results were offset. The 3K rule on a mountain stqage...
If there was any doubt about Sky doing ANYTHING to win, including swaying the judges, That was it.
Christ Froome was my pick in the doping draft, so I applause his successes

. I had Valverde and Vino too. Good company.
