Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

Exactly, it's almost as though they copied the US Postal model and only changed what they thought was what caused their demise: Armstrong's arrogance.

Everything else is pretty much the same... this time around with an English accent.

Only that the train falls apart... Otherwise i see your point.

ummm... Froome doesn't have an English accent... he has after all never lived in the UK

I'm sick of the haters as well. Froome and Sky are clean.

The pass the tests, give themselves to testers morning, noon and night.

They train hard and respect the race.

Even Contador said Froome was clean.

I can't understand why everyone wants to take them down.

There's nothing in Sky's performances that suggests to me that's is doping. None.

If anything. Sky are too clean.

Common Hog, you know i never said that i am sure Froome/Sky is clean.

"... are too clean". LOL. A good one.
Reminds me of "Lance to Landis" when Walsh described the "too clean" pi$$ of LA.

 

[FrankChickens]

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

Apparently Steven Spielberg has donated the original ET Kuwaharas to Brailsford as a token of his admiration for the show being put on.

The team will ride them into Paris just for sh1ts and giggles. Porte will lead out Froome to drub Cav in the finale. Brailsford has promised him a 500k bonus if he hits 90km/h over the line. Extra 100k if he breaks the cadence sensor.

Ricco is awesome!

@riccardo_ricco: crono a mezzo gas e ha vinto chapeau! mi stanno sul cazzo quelli che dicono che gli fa cagare Froome se va più forte cazzo Dev fare frenare?

Oh, hog, don't let me down, come on...this is old playbook, you're better than that

(you MUST be enjoying this, really!)

 

[lemoogle]

Ricco is awesome!

I understand the first bit, but even google can't help me with the second half. Translate?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ricco is awesome!

"chrono half throttle and won chapeau! I am getting the **** those who say that if it goes Froome sucks **** harder to curb Dev"

from google translation. Anyone with a better translation of what Ricco had to say?
Thanks in advance...

 

[Deagol]

Psychos speech... and arrogant. Not normal.
Froome isn´t that way. He is humble...

"I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles" is the part of the quote that seemed most relevant to me with the current situation

 

[martinvickers]

Ricco is awesome!

Could you translate, my itaian is exceptionally limited

Quick note on eurosport ( and other TV channels ) and omerta, they actually PAY for distribution rights, why would they do anything else.

 

[WinterRider]

Does seem odd he would have it for a year undiagnosed,i would have thought the longer it goes untreated the worse the symptoms.
Also odd we keep hearing the treatment is a one shot cure and yet..

"Brailsford said team doctors continue to monitor Froome for bilharzia because it’s difficult to completely eradicate.

“It’s not something that just disappears. It’s a parasite. It lays eggs. They might be dormant, then the eggs hatch, then they lay more eggs,” Brailsford said. “You have to stay on top of it, be vigilant, that’s why he keeps having treatments so it’s completely eradicated over time.”

I hate to break it to the clinic, but Brailsford might be right.

On the wikipedia page on Schistosomiasis, it does indeed say treatment is from a single dose of praziquantel, but there is one more word in the sentence that everyone here seems to have missed: "annually".

From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is readily treated using a single oral dose of the drug praziquantel annually.

hahahahahaha.... I like the sarcasm

I never said it was Froom who had the Englich accent...

He's making a joke that Frrome was going at half power on the gas and still won.

 

[Deagol]

......Can´t believe so much hate towards Froome. My opinion is the clinic is overacting...

I don't hate Froome, and certainly don't hate the British at all.
I just don't trust Froome, or Brailsford, or Sky, or Murdoch... that's all.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

"I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles" is the part of the quote that seemed most relevant to me with the current situation

Get that point.

But how does he get so much hate? AC, Valv-Piti, Basso, etc. are still riding. They are no better (actually they might be worse).
And LA was the biggest a$$hole by far. If he rates at 10/10, Froome isn´t even a 0.5/10 on the *** scale...

 

[Deagol]

^^^^^ This,
they make sure Froome doesn't come off as a jerk because Lance's arrogance played no small part in his fall. A great model to work off of and it left lessons on what not to repeat.

 

[thehog]

here's a spoiler for the rest of the Tour, if he doesn't pi*s hot before tomorrow morning this is how it will go:

Alpe d'Huez: Quintana attacks on Alpe 1, gets caught halfway up Alpe 2 by Porte and 5 other guys, Froome attacks and takes another minute out of everyone

LGB: Contador attacks on the Madeleine and destroys the race but Porte and Froome catch him on the final climb and do this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yf1nJYkCHQ

Semnoz: why even bother

Tomorrow will be interesting. It will rain. It will rain very hard.

There will be a lot of wind also.

Contador will go early. He will leave Krez for the podium spot.

Not sure it will work. Maybe. It depends who decides to follow him. Valverde, yes. Evans, yes. JRod, no.

Then again Porte will probably just shut it down.

 

[Red Lobster]

Get that And LA was the biggest a$$hole by far. If he rates at 10/10, Froome isn´t even a 0.5/10 on the *** scale...

Being a *** or a nice guy has nothing to do with it. Hamilton seems like the nicest guy you'd ever meet, but he was a full gas, big programme doper.

IMO it might be more constructive to think of it as hating what Froome is doing to cycling, not hating Froome the man, cause I doubt many here harbor feelings of hatred toward Froome himself. I also hate how Froome looks riding a bike, but that's another issue.

 

[Der_Gestreifte]

I hate to break it to the clinic, but Brailsford might be right.

Or wikipedia might be wrong.

It indeed does.
But their source [14] (http://web.archive.org/web/20080225...ter.org/health/schistosomiasis/treatment.html) says:

A single oral annual dose of this medicine will prevent a child from suffering from schistosomiasis.

That´s the sole occurence of the string "annual" on that website.

 

[Afrank]

He's making a joke that Frrome was going at half power on the gas and still won.

And he's probably right.

To be honest, I don't spend enough time in the Clinic to quantify the "hate" that any of these riders get (either deservedly or not).

From what I have seen of Froome, he is not 1/10th of the %^&*$ that Armstrong was. But I am sick of the cheating, no matter who does it (my own countryman included).

That´s how psychos work. They can´t imagine feelings of others. That´s why we see it as arrogance. But, he can´t do any other way. A true sick man.

OTOH, they (Sky) hadn´t to teach Froome anything. A pretty normal guy who behaves normal.
