Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Very Lovely... Froome beats AC on the last few kms. It couldn´t go better than this.
Still within reach to match Fignon´s 5 stage wins of 1984.

Talking point # 128764830

Froome is clean, Contador beat him. You only imagined that he slowed down when it started raining.

You were hoping he would lose to give the defenders some breathing space?

Hope more, for the next days.

Still... it was the first time I wasn't flabbergasted by a performance of his in a key stage. But then, he seemed to take it easy whereas the others were going all out.

Wrong.
Froome engaged after-burners and wiped the floor on the last descent.
The perfect bike rider.
Best climber
Best TTer
All clean

 

[spetsa]

Dawg takes it slow on the descents and still wins

We imagined that it started raining and he slowed down.

 

[Arnout]

And AGAIN, in interview saying that he didn't expect to win...

Is he fooling himself too?

 

[beowulf]

I will wait for some analysis before I say too much, but I think Albert has got his dosage right for the last week of tour. If only he had been like Froome and got it right for the whole tour it might have been interesting.

 

[kaffenback]

Normal. Rules. Don't. Apply.

I feel a little sick in my mouth.

Getting silly now.

All he needs now is the Alpe stage tomorrow and this will be a truly legendary* victory

 

[Rollthedice]

Did anyone here really expected he will loose this stage? Beaten by Purito !?

 

[Snafu352]

They don't silly, that's for the testers to demonstrate...if they can. As far as Europa is concerned, perhaps there exist more disingenuous and thus more civil places than Italy. Though if you want to cut to the chase, then the Boot is where to go.

It's your choice, civility over reality. Though don't kid yourself with false illusions.

This is bull.

I don't know whether Froome is doping or not.

You make like you have information that shows he is and when relatively civily asked to substantiate that or explain what you are doing with that run and hide behind the testers that so many in the clinic are contempteous of.

Your comments seem to indicate you don't like or want doping in the peloton yet you seem to jeapordise the chance of catching a doper by posting un-substantiated hints on a bloody internet forum. That is bull and sailing close to providing an example of bridge dwelling behaviour.

If he is doping he should be brought to book.

Ha. just seen him win the TT.

I do not think he will win tomorrow. I expect somebody in the break to get it, maybe Cadel (though probably is wishful thinking).

 

[timbo25]

I am Afraid the dope is worse what 99% thinks.

 

[go crazy]

His face. He's going probably 50%. He was barely breathing in the Eurosport interview like 2 minutes after he got off the bike.

 

[Alex76]

unfortunatly there's not a chance in hell that Froome wont win tomorrow...

will be 4 stages - with 2 more Alpine oppourtunities left... 5-Alive is still very much on for the 'Dawg'....

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

And today what is to complain?
JRod almost winning a ITT. Not normal.
Good that Froome didn´t let it happen...

 

[the sceptic]

Yeah because Froome winning is so much more normal. gtfo

[lemoogle]

haha I have to say that today doesn't even surprise me anymore. It seems we've come to the point where we can only be shocked when he puts minutes into everyone...

Wasn't Fignon the last rider to win the GC + five stages? By Paris Froome might even be able to match Fignon's 10 minute margin on GC. Such a shame when historic performances like Fignon's are devalued by modern pharmaceutically powered results.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

did you look at the route of the itt?

Yes i did. A whole lotta going flat and down.
This wasn´t a true Mt.-ITT. I thought that is known...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yeah because Froome winning is so much more normal. gtfo

Why? B/C i don´t agree with 95% of the opinions in this thread? For what discussing if everybody has the same opinion? Than the thread should be closed by the mods.
Think about it...

 

[thrawn]

Eurosport using the fact that Froome attacked on Alpe D'Huez in 2008 (only to fade and finish nowhere) as proof of his ability.

lolol. Eurosport is Omerta central after all

 

[The Hitch]

Because people on here are so definite or confident that he is doping when it still should be treated as a mere possibility that he is!

Do you have any evidence that Michael Jackson had plastic surgery?

I don't, and i demand that everyone else admit that its only a possibility, not a fact. Anyone who ever said it happened should be sued.
