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

Which one?
I cant have Quintana at the top in my books, why so mad?

Froome won so why would I be mad? You are the one attempting to troll cause you have nothing better to do.

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...

Not disputing that one bit, but Poels yesterday won it. He could have lost a considerable amount of time. Porte, Poels on the mid to high sections of ADH. Roach and Thomas getting back onto Froome protecting him from attacks on lower sections of the climb. Extraordinary Team effort.

Well deserved win by Froome. Been the strongest over the three weeks (excluding last two days). Nairo was a beast today! Sad for him he did not win the stage though

Re:

Anyone clocked Nairo's time up Alpe?

Looks to be around 39:40 ish.
No idea if I started my stopwatch at the right spot.
Very similar to his time in 2013

Movistar threw the TdF away in the echelons it seems. Well done to Sky they were really strong everywhere, but then again that's to be expected from the by far richest team in the peloton.

 

[Climbing]

Gratz Pinot for the win and Froome for the overall.
Deserved podium for Valverde, I don't think Nibali would have overcome him anyway without the puncture.

Quintana might have some regret for not trying before and harder, but hes young, plenty of opportunities and good lessons for his future.

Congrats to Pinot! A great ride by Nairo as well, I wonder what might have happened if the final few km weren't so flat and Froome didn't have such a strong team. In the end it was flat and Froome did have a strong team- congrats on a second TDF.

 

[Zoophonic]

What would have happened if quintanas attack on the croix de fer had worked

Life is full of what ifs mate. It's over. History. Chris Froome is the winner. And bloody well done to him too.

 

[whittashau]

So, Hanson and Tony Martin basically stopped us from having an amazing Tour

I dont get it. My books, my opinion, I can have Quintana at the top in MY books, can't I?
Dont get so angry all of the sudden.

Re:

The best rider in The world: froome

TdF winner != best rider in the world

Two days ago I said that the race is not over and Quintana could still threaten Froome (who seemed to be getting weaker). It wasn't enough (first week was crucial) but at least Nairo proved to be the strongest man in the Alps. Froome had two super strong domestiques - if not them it could've been even closer. Fortunately last two alpine stages were very interesting contrary to the rest of the race. Anyway, congrats to the winner.

Re:

So once again the Tour was won / lost in the first week ?

Sadly yes, or as Cosmo Catalano would say: ... and that's how the race was lost. (Also by not softening Skyborgs from the mountain No. 2).

 

[Red Rick]

Well that was boring

Re:

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

This. The team saved his **s. Many times during this tour.

Re:

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

Is that why he was sneezing all the way up the climb? I saw him sneeze at least 5 times.

Well, if it's a cat he's stroking this time, it makes for a welcome change
