I guess you are following cycling since 2012 July

I meant it happened within one GT.

Riis says hello

Riis showed 2 Hautacams in 1996? It's not so important since it happened quite a long ago. Froome's climbing wasn't a horror?

I just point out that these stuff happened like 100 times before and most of them everybody know whats going on with these performance

Well, have fun with your trolling, I'm out

As an aside, Froome's dignified responses to both the specaltive questioning of him from Journalists and the behaviour towards him and his team by some fans (some of which make football fans look like a bunch of angels) has even given me more respect for him.

Yeah, I know this feeling when opposite points and the results enrage. Naturally Froome is out-of-law. Who would doubt... In other forum section I asked million times 'Who if not Froome should win the Tour that it'd be fairly, naturally and logically?' I got 0 answers because people don't know what to reply because no one wants show himself as an idiot bathing in 'anyone but Froome plzzzzzzzz' judgements. Yes everything you really have left is to infinitely appeal about 'everybody know what's going on with these perfomance'...

He's a superbly aggressive rider on the bike and softly spoken off it - the exact opposite of Wiggo

As for the other contenders, Quintana is still young and Contador was on a poor season for whatever reasons. Purito had a crap first week for w/ reason too.

I think he showed he can dominate for some years, barring 'potential events'.

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

The options do not really address the question asked.

He simply confirmed that he is as good now in a GT as people suspected he could be. His all round abilities over three weeks were established.

 

[King Boonen]

Worst options for a poll ever.

So I picked the last one.

 

[Panda Claws]

Airstream making assumptions in the poll options again.

 

[airstream]

I find my options quite logical, considering people voted 75 vs 25% (Contador vs Froome) before the Tour. So my goal was to find out whether attitude changed for the better given how Froome was climbing first of all. But the results we have are anyway very expected. A bit weird that the only guy voted for point 4. Though, I consider it a prime cause of why the CN racing section forumities dislike Christopher Froome.

Froome's win was hugley impressive - when the time was right he attacked mercilessly and when he had to defend and limit his losses he did so too with little panic or fuss. His riding on the second pyrenees stage was particularly impressive.

Off the bike he remained dignified and courteous at all times, answered questions intelligently and showed himself to be a pleasant likeable bloke. My opinion of him has improved more because of that than his performance on the bike.

 

[darwin553]

It hasn't really changed my attitude towards him. I expected him to win in a dominant manner vis-a-vis Contador and he did so.

Yea airstream, you said that wasn't possible, how do you explain it?

I dislike him more because he started portraying himself as a god and others as devils

He did no such things. You are imagining things just to find reasons to hate him.

 

[Escarabajo]

He never did that.

 

[Netserk]

He never did that.

In a certain context he did.

 

[Angliru]

In a certain context he did.

Would you please elaborate on this? I'm seriously curious to hear it. I'm a bit out of sorts with the details of all that went on in the Tour since the forum was closed down.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Exactly. In clinic context he did.

 

[LaFlorecita]

He did. Oh, and what he said in his speech was just pure smugness. Another kick in the face of his rivals and doubters.

Ps why am I not on your ignore list yet

 

[observer]

My thoughts have a bit.

As absurd as those attacks may have looked to some, at least there were attacks, some of the speed was super impressive. Plus he sounds like a pretty good person when he speaks, even if it is all PR, it still does come across well.

 

[Pippo_San]

Now that I could enjoy more of his awkward style, I have to admit I find him pretty amusing, especially when he went crazy with the radio and everything during his hunger knock

 

[darwin553]

Haha too funny
