Re:

@digger_forum Eurosport NL/Be commentary just now: "After every day we receive a package of metrics from Velon, with lots of data from the stage's best performing (Velon member) riders. We have it from Dumoulin, etc. But one set from yesterday is simply missing". Guess which one

Not surprising

 

[MartinGT]

Not at all. Its why his watts were on 350 all day.

 

[MartinGT]

Dawg fresh as a daisy after yesterday.

Its disgusting

 

[Simurgh]

congrats floyd

Would like to know what Dumoulins are, just to try and guess what sort of craziness Froome was doing then. They'll never release his own data so best we can do is guess off others

Absolutely disgusted.

Sport has been set back 10 years again. There's no justice to be had here either, he's clearly been given the all clear to go back to prime days and just give a big *** you to the sport. UCI should hang their heads in shame.

 

[ppanther92]

The fun thing - Dumoulins performance was superb already. Totally dominated the rest. But Froome is still better with only one good week.

Now current winner of all three GTs. Historical. Unbelievable. Even more for a rider who was not even proper World Tour level before magically transforming at the age of 25. Really don't know what to say...

I don't get why people are talking bout the 350W thing so much. It was clearly a glitch, it showed 350W when he was braking on the descents too...

Very coincidental it happens to him and we have no Velon data eh?

Cycling is now at the very bottom.

80 km solo... Over 3 mountains... And today he never was more than 2 bike lenghths behing Tom. If he had to attack, he pobably could`ve done the same today. That`s not fu**ing normal.

 

[skippo12]

After this performance they cannot ban him without losing their face. It is a disgrace that someone who should be suspended can continue racing only to come up with an even bigger BS-performance.
One day he cannot finish in the top 20 and the next day he wins on Zoncolan. In the third week he somehow turns into Floyd and wins the race.
I hate it that no one in the current peleton or in the media has the guts to call him out. Bennett did but his team had to prevent a lawsuit and appeased Sky.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

If Contador got 2 years for Clenbuterol, wich works the same way as Salbutamol, i expect Froome to get at least the same punishment +at least Vuelta taken away. If not i`m probably done with watching grand tours.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

We can talk as much a we like here
but nothing is going to happen

Ciao Mondo

He'll get a two minute ban and and a two million bonus.

 

[LaFlorecita]

No sign of fatigue whatsoever. Could have easily taken another minute or two on the others.
Next up: TDF. Anything less than another win would be hugely disappointing.

Well, Contador got banned after winning another Giro, but that was a CAS case, I doubt they care about the UCI losing face.

Re:

This i doubt and see how strong Froome was today, he might just go on to win the Tour. Be prepared for that to actually happen. Because right now Froome has won 3 out of his last 3 GT attempts.

Didn't even need a strong team in the Giro like he usually has at the Tour. Poels and Elissonde did some good work, but Sky weren't able to control the race. Their Tour team should be scary, as per usual. Looking forward to Bernal shredding the field to set up some alien attacks.

 

[Oliwright]

Were people getting mad about Froome when he lost 1:10 in 1km on stage 9?
Look Dumoulin, Pinot or anyone else in the peloton could be having a similar case to Froome. But some *** leaked it and Froome loses his right to the correct process.
Just because you don't support Froome doesn't mean you should rage at the keyboard.
EVERY GC contender other than Froome peaked early in the race. TD was at his best in Israel. Everything just fell right for Froome.

I doubt he will be allowed to race one way or another.
