I think Contador is trolling Froome after Froome's comment about stopping 'riders' at cafés and then Froome's comments about the testing on Tenerife as he was leaving while Contador and Nibali were still out there.......

Contador is being subtle.

lol err... no

Am being to think that there is some karma coming back to Froome....what goes around come's around and Froome has spent a bit of time putting **** on others...so maybe he is getting it back now. I do think that he is looking more ordinary as the Vuelta goes on. I am tired of the commentators carrying on about Froome riding his tempo blah blah blah snore!

He really needs to look where he is going and pull his elbows in, he nearly wiped out another rider today. Which really is pretty poor form....

Wow the hatred is real. The way you talk about Froome, it's like he kicked a baby or something. Jesus f'ing christ...

If I hated Froome, I would state it up front, and I would be loud and proud about it, I don't hate anyone, lifes too short. You, however come across as just another bored forum poster trolling this thread.

If you had anything better to do, you could debate or offer an opinion to counter my opinion, but you offer a simple accusation of hatred.

OK then. What truly horrendous thing has he done such that "karma" is "coming back to Froome"?

When has he "spent a bit of time putting **** on others"?

I agree he is looking a bit ordinary.

It's almost as if the commentators are commentating on what they are seeing which is Froome riding at his own pace, amongst other things.

No, it isn't. It's entirely imagined, in your head. If you think stating observations from the race and recounting what Froome has done in the recent past (in his book) is "hate" then you need a new dictionary.

To clarify: Froome stole bunny rabbits from primary school children hutches at their school, to feed to his pet python.

He attacked Greg Henderson in his book.

hows that coffee Bertie?

He shows disdain for Alberto Contador - and if it isn't disdain, he has never seen the way it was percieved, or has chosen not to correct the perception.

You think it might have more to do with the fact that he's riding on a broken leg and did not peak for this race?

Certainly a factor.

So Froome is the strongest rider he's dropped while past his best, not at peak form and riding on one leg:p

The decision to publish an autobiography so early and let everyone know he's such an unpleasant person is almost as puzzling as his overnight transformation from mediocre rider to Armstrong.

Other than thehog, did many people actually buy the book?

dawg has become the bizarro-dawg. From dropping everyone with alien attacks to getting dropped at the first sight of an acceleration.

It's because he's riding $100% clean. True story.

Thanks for confirming that he wasn't riding clean last year. We all suspected as much.

No problem.

Like all of you I read the thread with the book extracts. Like you I laughed (at the coffee thing) but was also disturbed (the bunny thing, lying about being clean). However, you guys have formed an opinion about someone by cherry picking certain parts of the book and ignoring the rest. I believe the guy who was posting it admitted to not reading the whole book. You can do that about any public figure if you want to.

Doesn't change the facts of the book and the inconsistencies it has raised. I didn't read the book but the quoted passages (thanks Hog) do not need to be given a context.

Cherry picking, really? In that case perhaps you could point out what we are missing?
