Damn haters

SKY should stop pulling. Call out piti FFS!!!

 

[DFA123]

Where has this narrative come from that Rolland can't descend? Yesterday he took time out of Bardet on the final descent and he held Nibali today.

Seems to me that, although he may have been poor in the past, he's pretty competent now.

Re: Re:

Froome has no place chasing Nibali who is way down anyway.
And Froome is the guy that took food from the car 2 years ago. **** him. He cheated.

Froome took nothing from the car

Indeed, he ordered his teammate to cheat

is taking a gel the same as attacking the yellow jersey under a mechanical??

Froome wasn't the victim of a mechanical per se. He messed up switching gears, too bad. Probably has no one to blame besides him.

Re: Re:

Nibali has been a douche all month

Care to elaborate?

He criticized Quintana for training in Colombia, then threw a bottle on Froome for a crash caused by Martin and an Europecar rider and now today

 

[SeriousSam]

Was Nibali nice or patronising there?

Damn haters

Not hating, just pointing out a fact..

 

[Jelantik]

nibali will win the stage.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador has been very quiet.

Re:

This is great reading how understanding everyone is of poor misunderstood Nibali! I have no doubt if Froome had done the same thing, that understanding would have been extended to the forums most beloved rider

The personalities involved are irrelevant. It's a race.

I'm guessing both.

A stone in his brake caliper.

Geraint Thomas is now reportedly over seven minutes behind the group containing Froome/Quintana/Contador/Valverde #TdF2015

 

[Climbing]

Holy ***! Risky!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

For a second, I thought Rolland was going to climb into that bulldozer.

 

[TommyGun]

Nibs getting schooled by Roland on the downhill

Agreed! He looks really fast now!

I'm sure if you went back five years and Froome had attacked in these circumstances no one would given a hoot about him... if you're not in contention then why would you wait?

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Did he just say that Rolland and Nibali are the same level? Because Rolland has gotten 4th at a GT and Nibali has won all 3? ??
