Will he have a 'poor day' tomorrow loose a bit of time and make it a little more believeable? Brailsfraud didn't seem over the moon about the utter charade that happened today, has he realised it was too much?

There is the analysis: viewtopic.php?p=2267126#p2267126
Also, I noticed the lack of Froome fans in the clinic, looks like even his fans gave up on defending him here.
Well, they probably only know that because they are also all cheating, and are aware that only someone else who is cheating could finish ahead of them. Saying that this guy is cheating, just doing it better than me, is a pretty difficult line to sell to the general public though.Saint Unix said:thehog said:The George Bennett tweet from the team is priceless...
“Bull5hit?!! He did a Landis?!”

The pros know Froome is cheating (obviously) and are reaching the point where they don't give enough of a **** to hide it from the general public.
This could get interesting.

Doping isn't a sport?

I heard a rumour Sky are working with Telsa

OldCranky said:I'm genuinely amazed that Froome and Sky are being allowed to let the adverse analytical finding saga drag on this long. I mean it's a relatively simple matter, the finding itself hasn't been disputed and it happened in early September - it's now eight months on, I mean what exactly are they pretending is taking so long to analyze? What new facts are supposedly still going to emerge over and above what is known today, or come to that six months ago? Are they hoping that everybody will just forget about it, or that maybe they'll become distracted by the heat death of the universe?

"He did a Landis!"
Disclaimer to avoid any misinterpretation: this is not an insinuation, but a way to express the admiration for an exceptional achievement. Congratulations to Chris Froome and Team Sky.

armchairclimber said:Personally I admire the chutzpah. "You all think I'm doping right/ With my Salbutamol? Well stick this in your pipe and smoke it. Rather be hanged for a sheep than a lamb". Even if he was on thermonuclearepohghpeptidebollockjuice, to say "Right, catch me if you can" from 88km is pretty ballsy.
And long term clinic visitors will know that I hate SKY and have had little time for Froome.

Usually the hubris comes out after about 4-5 years at the top!

IMHO. Yes.
One also has to ask: in other GT's where he has had a comfortable lead - could he have been winning by 15 minutes if he wanted to?
