Indeed !. If Froome can’t do it nobody can. I imagine he has felt the pressure of opinion during this period, can’t help matters.
Thomas proving himself the best climber in the race, this tour is as good as over. Not very entertaining overall and a disappointing stage.
At least Froome will not be wearing yellow this year.

Just want to come overt here to say to all the 'experts' who constantly say Dan Martin cant climb and always have a go at him
And all the Landa fanboys ( and Majka for years)...you haven't a clue
! Dan Martin matched Quintana on the climb....one of the hardest ever

Don't think we can doubt G anymore. I thought he'd crack harder than Froome today but can't see it happening. He's taking it to Paris.

Re:
yes Dan Martin climbed at the same rate as Quintana & Bernal slower in the end...remember Martin was by himself
Gosh such blind bias

Time for him to put the feet up, no more 2 grand tours in the one year(unless it the giro-Vuelta) all out for the tour next yearOliwright said:
Thomas is perhaps an easier to digest winner than Froome for the ASO and the Frenchies ....

Re:
He did suffer on Alpe d'Huez so I assumed he'd have trouble on the big climbs, but ofcourse he's also proven in the past that he can do well in the big mountains (although it has often been in Dauphiné). Good ride today, didn't lose so much to Quintana after he was droppedHelloDolly said:

Re:
Dan is my man, but hes still lost 30 seconds on Quintana today on the last climb. With him all the best but I think he should go for the Giro-Vuelta next year. He could win both of them with a good team and some luck. But, in the Tour, he always seem to struggle with bad luck. :/

Re: Re:
Exactly, Valverde has repeatedly gone up the road, and Quintana has tried. His attack on Alpe d'Huez showed he just didn't have it, but good to see they have at least salvaged something from the race. Quintana could be a big threat for the Vuelta now I think. His form curve looks a bit 2016-ish. Unless, of course, aonther 70kg alien turns up out of nowhere.Valv.Piti said:
Imagine trying to explain this Tour top 4 to someone in 2012.
There’s a second rate cobbled classics hopeful poised to win the Tour de France. An up and coming TT specialist is his main competition. One of the least talented domestiques in the whole WT is in third. And a professional ski jumper is in fourth.
You’d have ended up subjected to a well meaning psychiatric intervention.
(Edited to add: this should, of course, have said 2011. Froome went from zero to hero at the end of that year)
