Re: Re:

Sky screwed Landa by making Kwiatkowski pull on the way to Foix. Big shame. Froome's mvp's both get no reward today.

And the scary thing is that Henao was terrible, Nieve broke down in the 3rd week and that Thomas crashed out, and still it was never in doubt.

Also have the feeling Dumoulin would have utterly crushed everyone today.

Annihalation nation

We may find out next year, if the ASO have the balls to put decent ITT's in the route, doubt it with Bardet being there.

They will be longer than this year I think but also with more MTFs.

They will probably add a MTT and a prologue.

Re: Re:

This time 6 years ago at 26, Chris Froome had the Anatomic Jock race and a 4th overall in the Herald Sun Tour on his palmares. Sky were offering his services to other teams. Now he is a 4 time tour winner of the tour. Has there ever been a more meteoric rise in the sport.

NO and I've been watching a Long time.....

Maybe the second place in the 2011 Vuelta made them take notice.

Yeah that was the Big Shock...3 weeks after finishing 85th in Poland.

 

[Blanco]

I wonder if Rigo will ride La Vuelta? Maybe not a bad idea...

I never had the feeling this was outside of Froome's control.

Tom is not in the Tour, just pipe it down please, you sound like a broken record!

Pff I only mentioned him like once or twice. Not half as bad als Valv. Piti repeating everyday that Valverde would have won the Tour. And I didn't hear you complaining then. So do not be a hypocrite

I don't want to go into this, but I think you mentioned Tom during almost every stage of the Tour.. At least Valverde was in the Tour (even if only for a few kms, I grant you this).
But lets leave it here.

 

[Arked]

Bardet climbing while rapidly going on and off the saddle reminded me of the days when I just started cycling and with heart rate at 202bpm tried to climb 15% hill on 20kg bike. It was really horrible. I mean both: Bardet performance and my sudden flashback.

Yeah there has

I won't leave it there, since you are lying.

That was the plan before the Tour. Hopefully it still is.

Re:

Bardet should be sent home on a TT bike.

When Roche was riding for AG2R they wouldn't even give him a TT bike to train on, so probably not.

Re:

Has anyone won the TdF without winning a stage in a single season before?

Óscar Pereiro, if you count him. Maybe Lemond 1990 if not?

where to begin... pretty much every time he opens his mouth...you dont want to know

I do!

Re: Re:

Are there intermediate sprints with bonus seconds tommorow?

Yes, there is one. But Landa is probably the least likely person in the peloton to win a sprint.

Does he still have Vino's phone number?

 

[Laplaz]

Hopefully Landa will grab somewhere this second.
Btw, are there bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Landa will probably celebrate with his teammates.

He was bsing about how it is important to do the best and he would be happy if Uran or others did their best and ended up 53rd. Also, he is very happy because apparently Uran tried everything to win but fell short, so he feels great because of that

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Bardet pulled the Schleck chute big time today. I'd call him the Andy of his generation, but he just doesn't attract the same level of fandom.

Re:

Big question is what was Uran doing the past two years?

Who?

 

[Carols]

Well I'm very happy for Rigo and JV . Plus it's great that Romain managed to save his podium. That boy was Suffering!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Btw Roglic only had 1 gear in the first part of the time trial.

 

[Der Effe]

Re: Re:

Who?

The guy whose name they photoshopped into the GC top 10.

 

[BullsFan22]

Obviously I am no expert, but IMHO, it would be silly if Landa and Sky don't try to go the bonus seconds tomorrow. I know it's a tradition that the GC men put their differences aside (pun intended) and simply roll to the finish, but it would be great fun if we see Sky and AG2R in a ding dong battle. It could really liven things up, particularly with the top Frenchman and a team that 'apparently' isn't well liked.
