No,nnot fleur, because hates froome though she is in denial about it . like someone said denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

 

[airstream]

YEAH... Isn't it a day anyone of us have expected since the Tour course was announced. Alberto Contador and Christopher Froome. 2 riders. 2 antipodes. 2 guys, enthusiastic mention about one of them makes other's fan hit the ceiling and come сues to the point of level of dirty chinwag. And there is a huge colouring of this duel in it. Ax-3 wil judge them. That's its prerogative..

You strongly question fairness and legitimacy of his achievements which hints on something more significant than dislike.

 

[willbick]

Why you so sure? Schleck was Alberto's equal uphill in the past and I think Contador has peaked(wont win the TDF) Schleck could well be on the podium, please don't tell me you think Valverde has a better shot at the podium.

Scleck has shown nothing in 2 years and u seriously expect him to start climbing with the world's best now??u gotta lotta faith bud...

Well, that was what they thought we wanted in the 90s (and they sure did perform the best possible way). Nowadays, maybe that statement needs to be adjusted to include words like "natural" or "within the rules" etc

Andy hasn't ridden a GT in 2 years either, now has he?

Enough to flame his GF on twitter, and who accuses others of trolling, if I where a mod I would ban you for accusing others (yes I do note the hypocracy in this statement but i am not perpetually doing it like LaFlo)

 

[willbick]

So any race other than GT can be discounted for form purposes?

So any race other than GT can be discounted for form purposes?

In Andy's case. . . pretty much. Only exception being LBL obviously.

 

[willbick]

And u never question how it is that Schleck, in the past, has managed to perform at a level in le tour far higher than his usual level? Maybe he is just very good at peaking for GTs

 

[del1962]

This year his form in races has been below his form in similar races in previous years though.

Would not suprise me if he loses time tomorrow.

She is just a sad little girl who needs to grow up. Its really not a good idea to blindly support a person who you dont even know and 'dislike' i.e. detest another person who from all available evidence is thoroughly decent, polite, honest, and straightforward simply because he is a professional rival to her chosen 'favourite'. I guess people like her spend all their time in front of a computer and dont have to engage with real people in the real world.

If he does not lose time tomorrow i will walk through my town naked.

 

[sittingbison]

Enough of the personal insults....shoot the message not the messenger.

And lay off sly insinuations of "performance enhancement" - take it to the clinic

You have been warned

Hard work, marginal gains, weak fields and competition peaking for other events obviously

Do post the nudes won't you! That ought to get this place stirred up a bit.

The inevitable dig at Sky, despite the fact their riders perform to a broadly similar level throughout the season.

What is his usual level? surely this can only be ascertained by considering his level of effort? does Andy put in the same amount of effort in others races? I think we all know the answer to that.

The inevitable dig at Sky, despite the fact their riders perform to a broadly similar level throughout the season.

this is getting off-topic as there are other places for these discussions.

 

[lemoogle]

Call me crazy but I'm very interested in what Rolland will do. He will want those climbing points and they wont really let him breakaway.

 

[hoerpi]

I hope this guy have a go.

 

[phanatic]

Who did he attack then, Bauke Mollema, he's never pulled of a long solo uphill against a strong field

It doesn't have to be a solo, but you get to see who is going to get caught out, and put real time into them. I think it's more than likely he could get away with two or three other cyclists.

 

[manafana]

one things for sure cannondale wont be involved in any of the action after today.
