The French commentators laughing at his attack on Quintana.

hey, at least he had to stand up for that one

 

[the sceptic]

Dawg is so hillarious. Looks like he is about to fall off his bike and that insane cadence. At least the other freaks of nature looked somewhat like normal cyclists

 

[veganrob]

LOL He is not too doped up, is he?

 

[Bratam]

Back on track.

Finally had time to re-watch Froome's acceleration on Contador.

Is this not so totally ridiculous that's it's funny?

It's just ***.

Yes like i said earlier in the thread, it is unnatural. Especially when you consider he is 2/3 into a long and difficult climb and he has already seen off some of the best climbers in the world. It is indeed totally ridiculous and I am now convinced that he must be doping.

Not even the most succesful dopers in history could pull off that kind of acceleration under those circumstances.

 

[thehog]

LMAO @ the comments.

He killed the Clinic as well. Twice!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The fact that so many people believe in Froome helps clarify why Darwin Awards exist in the first place.

I liked the "C'est surréaliste!" when Froome attacked and dropped Contador.

Also add in 220km at 47km p/h prior and he rode like that on Ventoux???!

Ventoux is long. 21km. It's so not normal. I honestly don't know how else to describe it?

Purple is the best animal.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Einstein was.

No he wasn't, but evidently the truthful details of his life are off-limits because they involve things some must think are unmentionable. Doesn't alter the fact that he should have been in prison.

Not to mention the fact that "Einstein exists therefore Chris Froome is exceptional" is so absurd as to warrant nothing but laughter.

The fastest times up Alpe d'Huez are not when it was run as an ITT, but rather at the end of long stages.

That's not normal.

The claim wasn't that Einstein exists, it was that he was an intellect that hasn't been matched in over a century. Exceptional, if you will.

His infidelities and marrying his cousin are common knowledge.

BTW, Froome isn't exceptional?

What I've seen says otherwise, dope or no.

"ne vont jamais le plein ***"

 

[ChewbaccaD]

pfft, Einstein had a tailwind

This comment deserves to be filed under "awesome." Somebody be sure to make that happen.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

luv Froom u jelly u can't ride a bike u say he's doping dope is he? Lern to bike n' critic u own other rider he no dopes. he white no chance he dope, he had a deciese he aight now so iz clean U jelly u just ate British peepole u kids. armstrong dop he busted no chance froom is dope no busted u see? stfu

Wonderlance RETURNS!!!

Does anyone have the stats on the acceleration?

Cadence? Speed?

I'm already doing this but would be interested in what the data actually is.

If we find out that he would have been going faster than Cavendish in full flight on the flats, I would not be surprised. Just further amused.

Dave.

@albertocelani: Gazzetta reports Froome had 124/130 ped/min when attacked Contador climbing Ventoux #cycling #tdf #Froome #Ventoux keeping that till finish

From earlier today in the Gazzetta.

 

[mewmewmew13]

rewatching Ventoux and my mouth still drops open like a grade B movie

I think Contador could have followed that first attack.

At which he then would drop off from his bike

Not really. Armstrong would have dropped him. Indurain would have beaten him. Contador of a few years ago would have dropped him. He really isn't that special actually...when you compare him to Einstein...

 

[thehog]

Not really. Armstrong would have dropped him.

I wouldn't think so. Froome would hang on to Armstrong. Think he has better acceleration than Lance also.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Armstrong would have attacked from the bottom and then attacked and attacked until Froome blew up.

 

[zlev11]

maybe Sky have something on their bikes like the famous "Brabham Fan Car" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham_BT46). instead of extra downforce it gives them a permanent tailwind.

Even that car wasn't exceptional, see the Chaparral 2J from 1970.

 

[the sceptic]

Do we even know what Froomes maximum level is? He is so far ahead of everyone else that he never gets pushed.
