This was unbelievable, right?

Re:

So he took a bag or two. Too bad / hilarious / disgusting. But this is just postponing the inevitable realisation that without gear he is literally nothing.

The thing that should not be as Metallica put it.

Ridiculous ... Next he'll crush in the TT, dominate in the hills and cruise into Rome in pink.. Must have changed brands of muesli ...

 

[DanielSong39]

He turned the motor on today

So Sky aren't even trying to hide it now!

What's the verdict on today's stage?

A) Prednisolone
B) EPO
C) Motor
D) Blood bag
E) Cheeky puff on the ol' inhaler
F) All of the above

 

[JosephK]

He will rise through the ashes in week 2 don't you worry.

Like a Phoenix (with marginal gains). :lol:

 

[burning]

I would rate this performance as his most ridiculous one in his career, he dropped 40 seconds in 1.5kms just 3 days ago, LMAO

Does anyone have the Zoncolan time?

 

[DanielSong39]

Just like Ventoux and PSM, a premature attack that somehow holds...

I may be a bit off but it looks like Froome rode the Zoncolan in 40:02, Yates 40:08. Record is 39:03 by Simoni-Piepoli in 2007

Good for 6th in the leaderboard, not bad at all for a guy that was dropping time left and right.

E-bike. It will get flagged on strava.

You don't go from losing a minute on a 40s climb four days after a crash to winning on the zoncolan three days later just because you've recovered from a crash. It's not a magical thing from which you wake up and go "oh, i'm back to normal now".

 

[zlev11]

good to see that blood bags still work

Perhaps Brailsford had a word :lol:

No but a rest day blood bag helps.

Obviously Vino sent the letter to the wrong person this year...

Re:

I didn’t get my zig zagging. Upset now.

Dawg was impressive, topped up with some extra motivation in the last day or two

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What the flying ***. Losing 40s on Osimo and then this. I'm done :') Hilarious performance

 

[TommyGun]

I just put this here:

What a freaking joke... And this counts for both Yates and Froome!

 

[Rollthedice]

The jiffy bag was delivered, a bit late but it arrived.
