It's not particularly impressive (relatively speaking and compared to the greatest small climbers of all time, of course) when you look at what the Tour routes have become. They could hardly be more Quintana-friendly.Escarabajo said:For a guy his size it is very impressive what he does. Seriously. Historically very few small riders that have been Tour champions. There is a reason for it. Flat ITT, long flat stages, wind, etc.
So he is a very talented rider. But, having said that, I am convinced he will come back a drop these other riders that dropped him on Ventoux. He will probably be second again. But his personality and talent will make him come back hard. He won't just stand there. Not his nature. just you wait.

Back when I still was a lurker, I saw this forum crash twice and both times had something to do with Froome.gazr99 said:Imagine the outcry if this was Froome, the forum servers would explode :lol:

You can argue both Froome and Aru also should have been disqualified then
But it sure doesn't like good.
It's absolutely nothing. Just looks like he's balancing himself going past the scene of the crash, because the mavic car is taking up the whole road and he can't pass.Valv.Piti said:Ok, after watching the whole video, it doesn't seem as bad as I expected.

Classic case of a misleading photo.
