I "no", but the poll shows that people think Contador is better than Froome in all aspects.

Why are so many of froome's fans trying hard to be trolls, its just stupid and embarrassing.

Don't paint us all with the same brush! :D go through my posts and I actually try and be quite reasonable.

I don't paint you with the same brush. You are reasonable :) I do agree with dlwssonic though. There has been several individuals(or maybe it's the same guy with different users?) who seem to be posting nonsense(and it has nothing to do with their opinions - it's the way they present it.)

I'd call it about even on climbing for now. 1 for Froome in Oman, 1 for Contador Tirreno, but as many have mentioned Contador's TTing needs to improve vastly to put any real pressure on. Losing about 30 seconds in 9km to Martin, Cancellara, and Wiggins doesn't bode well for a 50+km TT against Froome.

I doubt AC could beat Froome in the ITT. AC is already in top form in terms of climbing. Froome isn't, he is still recovering from an injury and it's only his first race back

Ac is in top climbing form ?. Froome is this and that ?. Incredible that you are so close to both of them to know these facts.

He rode a great TT in Algarve though, he only lost 7s to Martin over 13km.

We need a better grade of troll around here. This guy is just going through the motions. :p

LOL!!! Maybe he's mistakenly posting in the wrong forum and is a tad confused.:D

It would have been nice if he held that form, maybe he has and he had no motivation for the Tirreno TT as GC victory was almost assured or maybe a long range attack took it out of him or a little of both. The first long time trial of the year will be interesting. I must say it's more fun talking about different races in 2014 to guage a possible 2014 performance, than it was listening to talk and PR spin and remembering May in 2011. Venga Alberto.

That's true, but on the other hand he rode a pretty bad ITT in Tirreno. Though, as someone else mentioned, that could be explained by the fact that he didn't had to risk anything. However, GC riders tend to almost always "go for it" in ITTs.

Sometimes they do yeah, but the TT in TA was very much a specialists TT and i think that and his huge time gap in the GC made it hard for Contador to be as motivated as he needed to be to do a good time.

NEWS FLASH. If this isn't just some april fool stuff, then we can forget about this poll. For those of you who are Froome's fan, congratulations, looks like Froome DNA is alien. So for that, he will be definitely dominating cycling until he legs fall off.

As part of the UCI’s Biological Passport program, researchers have begun to explore DNA profiling as a tool to target next-generation cheaters. Yet scientists were puzzled when they examined Froome’s genetic profile.

“Chris was very open with us to allow access to his DNA,” researcher Michele Bugatti told VeloNews. “We found some puzzling inconsistencies, and the only logical conclusion was that Froome has non-human DNA.”

Brailsford said Sky has commissioned an independent panel, funded and screened by Sky, to investigate the genetic anomaly.

“It’s an interesting question. We are studying how the ‘celestial native’ population might trigger different numbers in the biological passport,” he continued. “What’s certain is that at some point we have to accept that alien performances will surpass doped human performances.” -- * very convient huh? it's oke to have alien DNA than other methods:D*

I don't know where all that love for AC comes from. He's just like Andy Schleck expect Contador started later and had more discipline...

Yeah she is on one alright, heres some of the highlights (so far) :)


" I wonder if @lancearmstrong is sorry for the anger & resentment he’s left behind which is now aimed at the true heroes of the sport."

"I don't know what the hell is wrong with people, thinking its okay to tear into innocent people. You are the scum of the earth."

"Maybe an "ex" doper can win the tour this year, at least he would be qualified to answer all the doping questions"

"Put up with two years of having your partner being abused for no other reason than being the BEST & see how you manage... "

"All the little fan boys & girls of convicted dopers going mental... Get a life! "

"Chris is a far better person than I am putting up with all of it. He is a true (and clean) hero no matter what the twitter jokers say. "

Don't really have a problem with it (backing up what you believe in) with the exception of the Armstrong line which unfortunately reveals her ignorance. Not to mention that there are no "heroes".
