Signing Contador for next season? That would be ridiculous, but he is looking for a team.

Flo, let´s think about it together

they havent Richie´s pic above their bed AT HOME IN THEIR BEDROOM

that´s a place in the SKY service course where they can rest, it´s not their room, many soigneurs use that room.

I think he means getting noticed on here, cause of the last few posts about a rider´s pictures in an official service course

They're just copying Alberto. He has a picture of Jesús above his bed. :p

Alberto doesn't need any extra nighttime motivation like the Sky riders do, he only dreams of winning :D

He has multiple offers and I'm sure Sky isn't one of them :)

Froome to get cut off by a race moto going up the Ventoux at the Tour. He then proceeds to chase the rider down at speed (while still riding uphill) and lands several haymakers before realising what he's done.

All without losing time :eek:

Sorry, in this context maybe "shot" wasn't the best choice of vocabulary!

Exactly. Amazing how the incredible new found TT skills correspond with the release of the new Bolide. :rolleyes:

Predictions:

- 1-2 in the remaining time trial.

- Froome to ride up to breakaway attempts by top tier climbers and then attack himself, slowdown and then ride on the front again.

- Sky doms to pace set for 50km’s at a time up HC mountains

- Cav to win one or more stages before Tour end.

- The grupetto to finish outside the time limit day after day.

- Known climbers being chased down by Sky doms.


Anything else I missed?

Crosswind attack.

After the other day and the punch, this doesn't seem so silly now.

I have to admit I didn't predict, 63kg climbers going off the front of a steaming peloton and beating the sprinters teams! :lol:

At some point, "Need to beat people, need to beat people", was the only thing on Froome's mind, thereby no longer distinguishing between climbers, TT-ers, sprinters, and Tour de France cycling fans.
