Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

[LeindersGains]

What's the chances for a good full genius today? I'd love to see him go all-in again.

This time he accelerated out of saddle while doing 1000 Watts!!!

The way some talk about him here you would think he already won the cobbles stage solo by a minute and crushed the record up Plateau de Beille.
He showed some form up the Mur after a sub-par TT and hasn't crumbled anywhere, and that's all for now. Sheesh. You would think he already had it in the bag by reading some of you guys. 2 minutes isn't all that much going into this last half.

I know enough from what I've seen to know what's going to happen. Barring a crash, he's going to throttle everyone on every mountain that matters.

Even Quintana after how he looked today? Froome looked in pain on the MdB as well.
I don't see it tbh

I am unsurprised to report that exactly what I predicted is happening right now.

In an 11% slope.

 

[naviman]

What am I even watching

 

[the sceptic]

this is truly absurd. Froome will put minutes into everyone.

How can anyone in their right mind believe this is clean cycling?

 

[BigMac]

I'm still a bit disappointed. I'd have prefered sitted accelaration on the easier slopes.

 

[zalacain]

Looks like my afternoon will be free for other things again. Makes Armstrong look like a novice

 

[Aristarchus]

No motorhome, he must be clean here, folks!

 

[deeno1975]

Come back Lance, all is forgiven...

Porte, Thomas, Froome .... feck....

 

[the sceptic]

Froome must be clinically insane to do this.

He would still win the tour easily without raising as many eyebrows if he slowed down a bit.

Their gains are certainly a lot more than marginal.

Just sit down and enjoy cleans cycling.

Daddy Cookson isn't saying anything, just enjoying the Tour...

 

[meat puppet]

so, fence sitters, looking at you. how is it?

 

[the sceptic]

Quintana will finish over a minute behind. This is madness.

[The Death Merchant]

I'm just laughing hysterically while watching this. Welcome to the new clean era of cycling.

 

[Dalakhani]

I hope Froome wins the Tour by 30m+.

 

[DrSahl]

..... Seems like a new era has come... a few years like the Armstrong years?... no point in watching the tour then... if Froome would be human and sometimes show weakness, I would be perfectly fine with days like this.. but its every single stage he dominate.. How long before the majority can see this is like Armstrong ?? took my years inhere before people agreed that Armstrong was dirty, I hope it wont be as long for Froome...

I think they should ban all computers and radio communication.. This atleast would make the tactical sense of the rider be more important and make the tour more exiting..

 

[The Death Merchant]

Clinic melt down today?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I miss Armstrong. At least he wasn't so awful to look at while climbing. Kudos to Froome though, he has really taken cycling to a new level

 

[lbennie]

ffs hes hardly breaking a sweat

 

[Saint Unix]

Froome is creaming everyone by one of the most insane margins of the last 15 years and Porte is catching Quintana. Delicious. The Sky double lives on.
