Are there Alpes in Vuelta? Or what is he waiting for?
Shame that GT's dont have 40 racing days, 39 of those 20km long MTFs
He is 25, so white jersey and second in GC would be great achievement and it's not his fault that some people had unreal expectations. He is also facing very strong rival with incredible form. He said yesterday that second in GC would be a honour for him, so he is slowly accepting that he won't win this. For me this is not surprising and I don't understand why a guy who is 25 is criticized for being second in GC.
But it's very surprising that you are still posting in this thread. Half a year ago you were sure that he won't win any WT race this year and you even bet on that and you weren't here later after Tirreno win. So this is something to think about.
Come on. We have had countless Quintana fanatics claiming he his the greatest climber better than Pantani
He was 2nd last time he rode the tour. He his 25 not 19. He his not any stronger now than 2 years ago?
To win this tour he has to hope Froome has bad days....that would be the victory of a great champion.
At one point today Froome was surrounded by movie riders, I was laughing it looked crazy.
Movie/Quintana had chance after chance to counter attack. They seemed more interested in Bertie,
they put the hammer down soon as he crashed. Why not 50/ 60km before? They have 2 v 1 advantage. Disappointed in Valverde today. He podium chased.
The have 2 riders to use to their advantage. Take some big chances and go for it.
What sort of time is Quintana going to get trying to attack Froome inside 3 km ,,,,Pathetic.
If they carry on like this I'm going to start cheering for Froome.
