Re:

Porte outclimbing Contador, Majka, Nibali, while pulling for 4km

you did see Majka pull Contador for most of it and Nibali puncturing then pulling for about 6km?

So Quintana winner of TdF 2015 in my books

Great riding by Piti! I am actually happy for him. 35 years old, and he finally gets his TDF podium.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Wow Pinot looks really quite fresh

Re:

Froome won the Tour in Zeeland, without it he would have been 9 seconds behind

Yeah, but then it would have been a totally different race so you can't really say that.

Re:

Loooool wtf are u kidding me? You dont think hé would have attacked somewhere else

Re: Re:

Well done Richie Porte. Top effort!

He saved the tour for Froome.

Poels did that yesterday, gave him a margin going into ADH.

You can look at it that way but today Froome was on the ropes BIG TIME...

Re: Re:

Thanks to Valverde, Quintana loses the Tour.

Your Valverde hate is magnificient.

Where's Purito at, still at the bottom of the climb?

If you don't admit that, you really don't have any knowledge of cycling.

Btw, Purito finishes in the top-10, even ahead of Gesink, Mollema, Nibali and Contador

Absolute nonsense, Arredondo.

Hm. Debatable.

Re: Re:

A second rate rider like Pinot winning Alpe, what a lucklustre finish to the Tour de France.

Seriously? You're tough to please..

Nah he's obviously right, I mean anyone can finish 3rd in the Tour

Valverde gets his podium spot and KOM I think.

Re: Re:

Movistar *** as ****. If they didn't protect Valverde's 3rd spot in previous days, they could've won the yellow jersey. Lame Unzue, lame.

Absolutely possible that Valverde lost them the Tour, yes.

How? He sacrificed himself by attacking at every opportunity

I think we saw different race...

Oh please. Valverde put a lot of pressure on the Sky train in the high mountains. Not to mention how many times he led Nairo down the tricky decents. Sure, his pulls weren't extremely long, but they were sufficient. Without Valverde, Quintana doesn't get so close to Froome.

 

[shalgo]

Great achievement for Pinot. He showed real mental fortitude in this Tour; he didn't crack after misfortune as he has in the past.

Take your nonsense elsewhere. You have already had one post deleted...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Quint 39 mins... wild guess the time I clocked....
In the end it is the 3rd closet TdF, right? A cushion of just 1.18 mins after 3000something kms...

 

[Cimber]

If only Movistar had been riding like this earlier and not for Valverdes 3rd placering and only if Nairo hadnt been caught behind the crash on stage 1. Clearly the best and strongest rider in the Tour. Next year he will hopefully be more confident and dare more

 

[huangho]

Nice ride by Nairo, he gave everything he had.

Re:

Valverde though

Re:

Chris froome was sick and still your 2015 tour de france champion he is awesome./

Is that the narrative,a sick Froome won Le Tour.

Honest question: Where could Froome have attacked that he didn't?
The whole reason he (as usual) blew up this weekend is that (as usual) he attacked everywhere and anywhere, no crumb was too small to fight for.

 

[Inquitus]

Re:

Without the buffer you can be pretty sure he would have been able to ensure he finished the 9secs ahead.

Holy s..t! That's a hell of a result! Are you proud? I mean with your cycling knowledge you certainly think it's a great result

You have some inaccurate books.
