Geraint Thomas, the next british hope

[Pierrot le Fou]

Quintana goes and Geraint Thomas brings him back, lol!

 

[Benotti69]

Thomas chasing down Quintana at 3kms end of a stage.....not normal

 

[Fedoracore]

Beats Quintana without any problem. Hahahaha, a former Trackcycler.

Re:

Thomas shuts down Quintana. Now that's some next level sh!t.

Spot on. Unreal.

 

[thrawn]

So ridiculous it's amusing.

 

[SeriousSam]

This is the guy that rode away from Stybar and Sagan in the flat.

It's just absurd.

 

[Red Lobster]

Oh, Thomas was briefly put into trouble by successive attacks BY THE BEST CLIMBERS IN THE WORLD but good to see he's back on the front.

 

[gmedina]

now this guy is a climber!!!!

 

[meat puppet]

Just another day in our own little world here having a laugh and doing what we’re doing

 

[Kernel]

This guy is a freaking joke. USPS all over again.

 

[The Chicken]

lol.

 

[Enrico Gimondi]

160 pound Classics rider and he can pull up the whole mountain and counter every attack by the best climbers in the world like they're standing still...

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Lance wishes he was Froome, Tyler wishes he was Richie, Andreu wishes he was G

 

[saganftw]

i would be kinda "OK" with froome dominating - maybe he is legit whatever idgaf...and then quintana,valverde and contador cannot drop thomas,thats just ***

 

[hfer07]

what the fvck did we just witness G doing today? Is that sh!t real? Is he really going to make the top 5 this Tour? really? really?

this is bvllshit!!! I have stated many time how much I liked G as a rider- but the sh!t he's been pulling this Tour is disgusting!!!! fvck him!!!

 

[Happy dude]

Re:

Think we might get ahead of ourselves here. G hasn't proven that he can hang with best on a real mountain stage with several hard climbs. To me it isn't totally unexpected that G could do something like this on one climb. He is a fairly skinny rider with a great engine. Compare his performance with Gallopin, another rider that weighs around 70 kilos: G beat Gallopin with 21 seconds today. If G is 5th on a stage like stage 12, I start raising some eyebrows.

Eyebrows raised?

Let's not lose perspective. As ridiculous as Thomas is, he's still more likely to be clean than Froome.

Re: Re:

G ain't no Merckx, and the necessity for the comparison is insulting.

You absolutely sure about that?

Yeah, I overdid the Merckx comp, but he was though of as a sprinter and a horrible descender at first. Belgian boy and everything.

Anyway kinda glad Gallopin cracked today. Always liked him.

Pro cycling is in a right state.

I think less doped to the gills is a better phrase. "Clean" pffft

I don't think so, vroome has had 1 transformation, and that was from bad to good. G has several transformations every year

 

[Red Lobster]

I used to think that Sean Kelly was the most complete bike racer I ever witnessed, but I am on the cusp of replacing him with Geraint Thomas.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Good stuff.

 

[Alexandre B.]

This will end the Thomas vs. Gallopin nonsense.

Incredible ride.

 

[cat6cx]

Full genius and Brailsford knows there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

They will not throttle back.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

When Quintana went on his first attack he clearly thought he had got rid of Thomas. He then gave Thomas a long stare when he rode back to the front as he was greatly surprised to see him again.

Thomas is simply unbelievable, nothing can explain what we are seeing but some serious doping, Thomas is just not a good enough climber to be doing what he is doing. Porte is at least a climber but Thomas is not.
