Yeah I obviously hate all 'mericans. Or I just don't like TJ. Does that mean that other riders I don't like (Hushovd, Schleck) are 'mericans? I guess Floyd was a Colombian...myrideissteelerthanyours said:Its trendy to slag North Am riders on CNF thats all

Big Doopie said:i actually think TJ gets the short end of the stick. he is not an explosive rider, so he is never going to be able to look like bardet or pinot attacking. and yet today and several other times this tour he has created the accelerations that drop riders (& valverde). i listened to both english and french eurosport and they said pinot did ALL the work. yes, pinot ended up doing MOST of the work, but TJ was relaying him quite a lot and was clearly on the rivet at the end... but he got absolutely no credit for it at all from the commentators.
I knew someone would've come with the reply like that. But there were 2 stages out of 21, and out of these two, only one was Tejay's weakness.Vino attacks everyone said:Agreed. Kittel would've won this race easy if it wasn't for all those stages he lost time in

Afrank said:Very nice performance this Tour, happy to see him get 5th.
All the misfortune? He crashed once, that's about it, right? Most riders (except Nibali) experienced something like that.Moviefan1203 said:Great Tour by Tejay especially so considering all the misfortune he faced. With better luck, next year I'd love to see him improve on this result.

Moviefan1203 said:Multiple crashes. What was it 4 or 5 total?
MBotero said:Good performance from him to get the 5th place,but i still believe that with a better team support he can do more.
Moviefan1203 said:He is very young, the goal is one day to win this race. But along with a better team he also needs better luck. His luck was downright awful this year.
Sciocco said:He'll need more luck than Nibali got this year. It is difficult to imagine TJVG ever winning the TdF unless he becomes so much of a better climber that he'll, well... clinic.
Moviefan1203 said:There was a time I thought Evans and Wiggins would never win a Tour. If they can do it, so can Tejay. He will have to get better, but he also is only 25. He has plenty of time to hone his craft.
