I wonder how many realize that the Tour is over today...

DirtyWorks said:Hilarious. He's losing touch. Next comes adopting Brunyeel slogans. As someone mentioned, he's reaching Brunyeelsford personality much faster than I thought.
If they let the Dog off the chain tomorrow then it will be ridiculous and stupid, crazy early. Porte and Froome should come in looking fresh with more stressed GC contenders. Sunday Sky moves the Dog and Porte into 3-5th position with an amazing display of power. The ITT will probably be the last interesting day.

Countdown to the Dawg sticking his elbows out as far as possible.
Fingers crossed for the Dawg gesturing at Contador then riding off to win by 3 minutes.
Porte will be best supporting actor. Should seem him get in the gnome position and rip the peloton apart.
Tour should be over this time tomorrow

No wonder Brailsford was suggesting clean performances will one day outdo past doped performances. Has to get ahead of the inevitable.
True, there is hope. Froome is not a product of British Cycling. I'd totally be a fan if he wasn't so utterly, stupidly, ridiculously obvious.spalco said:No way, he can't help himself. I believe Froome doesn't just want to win, he wants to prove he's better than Wiggins.

it was a headwind, rather.Hugh Januss said:Chris Froome joins the exclusive doper club with that performance.
Maybe he is clean and the climb just had a 30 km per hour tailwind.
Contador, doping less or just beat-up from his crash? 58 seconds off of his doping peak of 2010. Clean(er).
Galic Ho said:You really don't like the Spanish do your Foxy? Is it because they kept on winning and Germany went bottom up post Puerto? You'd prefer the most ridiculous transformation in pro cycling since epo came about to win the biggest race of the year, over two guys who were kicking **** since they hopped on bikes? You do know how Valverde got his nickname right? El Imbatido? The Unbeaten? Because he supposedly won 50 straight races as a teenager. When did Froome do that? Oh and one last thing, both Contador, Valverde and Purito are naturals on bikes. They make it look so good. Class is forever. Jan had it, so do the Spaniards. Sky GC riders? Not a chance. Viewing is worse off because of it as well.
jilbiker said:I do. its over. I see a winning margin of close to 10mins, that is between Sky-1 and whoever is 3. Can this be any more ridiculous than Basso's 9 minute win at the Giro? It is NOT from training. I remember chicken legs winning mountain stages by 4-5minutes, that was ridiculous. When someone looks to be having a fun time when seasoned talented riders are struggling its not that he has more talent, just he has some really good stuff. We saw that with Lance so why do we think the story is any different.
Froome is NOT far and away more talented, neither is Porte, and neither is Wiggins. What a sham for the 100th TDF. I am not watching anymore, rather just read the results. What ever Sky has will be unearthed eventually. But then what a waste of time for the cycling fans.

Delighted for @chrisfroome and @richie_porte. 2 best mates getting it done. Killing each other training pays off. Congrats all at @TeamSky.
Quite Funny.
Froome? On a bike? A thing of beauty? Pleease - Laurent Fignon yes, Chris Froome never in a million years.leon7766 said:Its already been unearthed its called hard work and it was a thing of beauty
