Re: Re:

The most amazing thing today is that El Pistolero has not been banned for trolling yet. How much more can you try? :lol:

When will you get banned for baiting?

You guys are hypocrites. You insult Aru for not waiting, but don't do the same when Froome waits for no one (he never does).

And trolling.

Everytime i come to this forum, gloin is having some kind of personal attack on posters and deliberately provoking, yet the second anyone says anything he doesn't like, he goes crying to the mods.

Like a cycling SJW

:lol:

Re:

Uran's gone back in time with his performance today. In fact, I don't think he was ever this good on such steep climbs. Great performance.

Too bad he can't TT anymore.

Otherwise, he would be a serious contender for the yellow jersey!

 

[staubsauger]

Aru is a slightly better tt'er than Bardet. Forming an alliance with Froome rather than with Bardet so one of them wins the Tour while Froome cracks always chasing one of them is just plain stupid IMHO. Also the responsibility of defending yellow might've troubled AG2R actually. Aru has made himself the Ronald Reagan of cycling today. Focused on short term success.

 

[deValtos]

I can see both sides of the argument. When there's a GC rival up the road and a stage win up for grabs I think that's a fair reason to ride honestly.

 

[movingtarget]

Huge ride by Barguil and also Uran and Dan Martin.

Colombians peaking too early huh

You are not getting smarter. The same classless trolling caused by a great stage from Froome.

Re:

If froome didn't do all the pulling on the flat he would have won that sprint

Have we watched the same stage? It was the Astana's, ending 5th and 6th, that did the majority of the pulling - even though they should've let Froome do much more. The tactical ineptitude in this Tour is mind-boggling.

Re:

Astana, I so hate you.

You gained nothing on Froome after this stage, you're already racing for second place.

Can we get some cyclists and strategist please? Massive bonus if they can stay on their bike.

Same *** thing year after year with sticky insect and the Murdoch-boys funeral procession.

Unbelievable for Aru and Fungsang taking turns for Froome.
Most stupid thing....

So they should have allowed Bardet to win +30 seconds on them for... what exactly?

"The organisers got what they wanted" - Dan Martin talking about the crash.

 

[Lupi33x]

main impact of Porte crash was colliding with Martin. I dont think he hit the cutaway that hard if at all, so hopefully that means it wont be a serious injury.

 

[lenric]

Aru did nothing wrong as long as he doesn't expect others to wait for him.
Victory is all that matters and being ruthless as a competitor doesn't mean you'll be a crappy human being.

 

[Benotti69]

On twitter allegations that Froome head butted Aru that caused Porte's crash..........

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Tour over for Porte, Contador, Majka, Thomas, almost for Quintana and Martin, what a stage...

 

[cipurian]

Will Contador manage to pull off a stage win?

Froome was in front, thats impossible

Yeah but he is right that insult Aru is just stupidity of someone who does not understand what word race mean

Re:

Froome was miles ahead of Porte when the crash happened.

Nice trolling though.

It was Froome and Birdsong who did the majority of the pulling the last 10k.

 

[aarononymous]

Nice gesture from Froome to congratulate Uran

Re:

lmfao... Froome was miles infront of Aru and also had a rider between them (Fuglsang).

 

[bp92]

This stage was fun. Entertaining for the last 40km instead of the usual 10. Also lots of GC consequences (Contador out, Quintana almost out, Porte crashed).
The Porte crash was really worrisome. I hope he's ok.
Glad for Uran as well (kinda feel bad for Barguil. Great job despite the late mechanical.
