I want Froome to go full genius too, i hope that the tour will provide us that at least. Hopefully Contador can push him to these limits.

not if the pollen count is high

Yep, they should have done a TT on Ventoux or Alpe d'Huez. Although the Ventoux stage might be very interesting for comparison.

Good win for Froome.

Cycling certainly much more exciting when its clean.

Waiting for a leaked picture of half tanned Chris shirtless to make the emulation complete.

I take it you've not then?, seen lots of people who have and I think pushing their bodies to maximum physical exertion is the last thing they'd want to do.

But then again you probably know best I have only witnessed non athletes.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Wha? Does not compute

 

[leon7766]

At the risk of being banned again for supporting Sky .Well done Froome another dagger in the heart of doping .

 

[Bexon30]

No one I know could possibly push their bodies to 100% while suffering from hay fever, surely? And 100% is what Alberto will need to be to get Froome to his best, right. Any ailment or other stops people from performing at their best.

In the heart? I thought he's been shooting up in his palate. Hard to see the marks although you do risk swelling outside

 

[Pentacycle]

Did they break the record on Valmorel?

The magical 6!

Froome has always been a great climber. That video of him zig-zagging was a product of shoddy camera work. Inexcusable, really.

And any pictures of him holding on to a motorbike in the 2010 Giro are a result of photoshop.

Great result by Froome, yet again showing what a muppet Brailsford is.

(Because, he didn't realise Froome was worth renewing until he excelled in the 2011 Giro. Seriously, you have a guy's training numbers and can't tell the difference between a 2nd tier domestique and a rider that's the world's 2nd best GC climber and 3rd best time triallist?)

The way he bridged the gap to dirty was quite impressive, riding away from him was lets say more impressive. Cyclisme a deux vitesses. Of course dirty had some pollen problems.

Even more impressive was this: http://youtu.be/UOH7gl3Nxgc

@ 3:24 the soon to be winner of the Giro Nibali with Contador in tow "under acceleration" and watch Froome nearly crashing into Contador on his way up the grade to easily gap them both! Ridiculous!

Nice performance from Santa there.

You mean Froome deftly avoiding Contador's little swerve to the right

The way things are going for Bertie right now, he might not be so happy that he "allowed" Froome to "deftly" avoid him...

Horner stands out even more for me - he sat on Froome's wheel up to the gorup and then lead the charge to chase him down after Froome tried to hip and shoulder Alberto.

It's normal in cycling to see riders sandbagging during a stage... but not in every stage of every race until he's 26...

 

[frenchfry]

What an afternoon! Caught the last 10km of the Froomedawg demonstration, then the major grunt-fest at Roland Garros between Sharapova and Azarenka. Can't decide which was more irritating.

“I’m hoping to improve my form before the Tour. I don’t feel that I’m in 100 per cent condition yet but I’m where I need to be at this stage.”

He was probably thinking that he failed to beat Tony Martin in the ITT.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol. It's depressing. what is he gonna do in tdf? 6.5 W/kg?

 

[thehog]

Be interesting when he wears yellow at the Tour how he'll handle the inevitable doping questions.

I actually don't know anyone who actually thinks he's clean.
