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

Meh, if he's doping everyone is. Remember though Contador had the sniffles
Wait, so if other top contenders are doping, Froome might still be clean, but if Froome is doping, everyone else is doping too?JimmyFingers said:http://youtu.be/Apa0nG1OfUc

Dont feel bad, nobody in the media is talking, only, and sometimes, the Belgian commentators drop some hints.Bexon30 said:There's not enough talk at all in the British media it's quite embarrassing.

Cant wait for july.
so did contador. so did evans.Bexon30 said:Oh, there's plenty believe me. Sad really because becoming the best or top 2/3 in different disciplines is mind boggling. TT and mountains are specialist events yet here Froome just smashes both.

thehog said:Don’t come Tour time the world will be listening.
I’m sure Dave Bruyneel will have had some prepared media statements for the Dawg.
I’m sure nice guy Chris will keep saying “…working hard, sacrifice, great team, new era of cycling”.

no. Sky are too powerfulSundayRider said:Will he ever get caught though? That is the million dollar question.
blackcat said:no. Sky are too powerful
Sky and British Cycling have close to the power Armstrong did. Armstrong was too powerful he got reckless and handled Landis badly.
as long as Sky play it well politically, and stay under the radar, and dont get too greedy, it should be ok.
i see potential problems when G Thomas and Kennaugh both want their slice of the lucrative position and trophies.
that is the greatest danger, the internal fight for control, and demands to inherit similar financial and status rewards as Froome and Wiggins.
Poursuivant said:Could some kind soul explain the w/kg thing to me? So Froome rode at 6.08 today? What is deemed dodgy? Over 6? Never quite understood all that watts business.
yes. that is their gamble.maxmartin said:The thing is they are greedy, they could very well possess the top two podium position in the Tour
