Mate, show yourself some respect and setGalic Ho said:Since thehog and benotti69 aren't here, I might take over.
LaFlorecita said:What if he can't? A cleaner Contador vs a doped up protected Dawg alien thing.
darwin553 said:A 'cleaner' Contador denotes a doped up Contador...if he is going to dope he may as well go full *** if he is going to get anywhere close to Froome or else he can kiss the win goodbye.

LaFlorecita said:Perhaps he likes racing too much to give up on it yet.

Galic Ho said:As for the topic of the thread...Froome.
Since thehog and benotti69 aren't here, I might take over. Might being the selective word. Someone has to carry the slack right?
Talking about slack...watch the Dawg tomorrow night. Will be a cracker. Especially if Valverde goes early. The tell will be how much time he puts into Quintana and Contador, the two best climbers in the peloton.
It'd be great if Movistar send Costa into a break with Valverde. They could really do some damage to Sky. Then Froome has to come out of hiding. I'm thinking some 2009 Dauphine action might be in play here. Switch the roles of Evans that year with Froome and we might get a spectacle.
Seriously, somebody attack for Pete's sake! Make Froome have to do the ridiculous. Saxo, send Kreuziger up the road with Roche. Movistar, send in Costa and Valverde. Sky can't cover them all. JV if you're reading this...get your boys to do something. We wanna see Froome break your Ventoux record!!
Andy Schleck and Evans anyone?
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
the sceptic said:He has looked pretty clean so far this year
Maybe too risky to dope outside of Spain
Alphabet said:I think Froome would push Lance harder than anybody ever pushed him. Maybe even have won a couple of those Tours.
The leading rider in the Tour de France, Chris Froome, has in particular been the best rider of the year. The two crucial moments, the final mountain on 8 stage and time trial at 11 stage, he was a total of 5.3 percent better than the nearest competitor. It has got Lars Nybo Nielsen, a professor of physical education at the University, to wonder.
- One should always be careful not to suggest some things against people, but you can just say that it is not a normal picture, or to put it blankly, then it is quite unusual, says Lars Nybo Nielsen TV2 Sports.

Perhaps, but it never would've hurt as much as being spanked by Contador.Alphabet said:I think Froome would push Lance harder than anybody ever pushed him.

Ripper said:GH, you're obviously so out of the loop. Bertie is no longer the best climber. Now it's The Transfroomation.
Or is The Transfroomation a TT specialist?
Oh dang, what was it again, Transfroomed into TT specialist or climber?
Oh ya, he's both. Just had to apply himself. Be hungrier. Train smarter. Actually look at his TSS. Bring his pillow.
