I wonder if he uses ridiculous cadence when pounding the cound?

I wonder if he uses ridiculous cadence when pounding the cound?

Funny. I've thought about this a lot more than I should have- but if I were a woman, I would not find his physique attractive.

Funny. I've thought about this a lot more than I should have...

he stays in the saddle

 

[Gung Ho Gun]

The form of my life at the click of the fingers.

He didn't actually pull on the Joux Plane but hey, let's not pay attention to detail

Don't think many women find his physique attractive.

 

[Miburo]

Don't think many women find his physique attractive.

You don't think he's sexy fleur?

 

[LaFlorecita]

You don't think he's sexy fleur?

The man of my dreams

 

[Saint Unix]

It's fine, though. He has Walsh.

 

[T-Nielsen]

The man of my dreams

You still suffering from nightmares I take it.

he stays in the saddle

And always attacks from the front. /tactics

 

[Krebs cycle]

Just wondering.... does Froome mention attending the Paula Radcliff school of bike riding in his book?

tdf is gonna be painful watch with the most fugly bike riding style in the entire history of the sport punching you in the face on every climb.

Don't worry many events have been changed to suit.

I did think the turn of phrase used on Ricco was funny. Just charging up that mountain...

And the way that Piepoli "appeared" on the scene.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Oh fork, that is awesome!

I had to use something similar on my 2 year old daughter this spring. To does in Salbutamol in fact, but she isn't asthmatic, it was a short term issue.

As a side note, boy did it make her hyper (confirming what someone mentioned up thread about jitters)

Goes like a sewing machine? Not a good mental picture is it

 

[Franklin]

And the way that Piepoli "appeared" on the scene.

Ridonculous. There was everything wrong with Leonardo, but claiming he just appeared on the scene in 2008 is just bizarre.

Also, didn't everyone and their uncle charged up the mountains past Froome in 2008? I'm not surprised about his narcism anymore, but It's funny that the oodd thing was the fact that Ricco in 2008 was faster than THE Froome himself.

That stage was actually one of his better moments before september 2011!

 

[ciranda]

Tour organizers had sacked Piepoli? Do they mean his team sacked him? The stuff about Piepoli could be Walsh's, at least it reads like CN type standard zero knowledge/research. Piepoli is ofc one of the best in every race with mountains since 1994.

The line about lunatic charge is too much to take.

No, you're missing the narrative that Froome & Sky are pushing.

It isn't that Froome was *** before 2011; it's that anyone who went by him on the hills, was clearly doping, & here are some examples...., therefore he is now in his rightful & true position, leading the pack, because now cycling is cleaner, Simple !

It's not that he has undergone a miraculous transformation (despite the timings saying exactly that), it's that the dopers are gone, so now the clean cyclists are winning ( i.e Sky !)

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Team Sky would like everyone to know that Cobo's Vuelta victory in 2011 was the start of the "clean cycling" era.

Beat Contador in 2011

April 15, Stage 3: Benavente - Laguna de los Peces 157.2km

Slagter was dropped by Cioni as Filippo Savini (CSF) came past just as Contador had bike troubles and was forced out of contention. Ten Dam and Atapuma were reeled in but Contador was the biggest loser of the day, finishing three minutes down on the stage.

Beat Contador in 2011

I have been waiting months if not years for someone to bring that up.

Didn't think it would be Froome himself.

That is the time Contador had 2 punctures on the final climb - one of them with 2k to go - and then just freewheeled to the finish.

Crossed the line with BFF Jesus a couple minutes down

But of course the bots don't know that, so Froome is feeding them he was stronger than Contador

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ah, I see Hog edited in more or less the same information
