I'm quite sure that of the two only Andy has acknowledged that he has struggled mentally this year?

Never mind. It was absolutely appropriate example for the cause.pastronef said:sorry, I used your sentence just as an example of the debate I was expecting to read here
serfla said:You've took the sentence out of the context.
I'm not glorifying Froome. I was just making a remark related to comments of Contador's fans who hijacked the thread of a race in which he doesn't even participate.
First, where and when did he acknowledged that? He denied it couple of days ago.Contadoraus Schlecks said:I'm quite sure that of the two only Andy has acknowledged that he has struggled mentally this year?
No, I'm not.Angliru said:...and you are a willing participant. Don't play the victim.
serfla said:No, I'm not.
I'm putting the things in the perspective.
You're late again, by the way.
I am willingly participating, but not playing a victim.Angliru said:Yes, you're willingly particpating in sidetracking the discussion as am I. I apologize to the rest of the forum and will end my transgression here.
manafana said:impressed by pinot today, hope all goes well and he turns up for tour again as he seemed to have a good kick in him to liven it up, bit like de gendt can time trial when he wants.
Dazed and Confused said:agree a good ride by Pinot. I like to see him competitive in several races outside of July. Hopefully he can give Froome a bit of a fight in Romandie.

gooner said:Today suited Pinot more than a normal TT and Froome still beat him so he will most definitely get beaten by a lot more time on Sunday as the course is longer with the profile a lot less suiting his characterisitcs this time. On Saturday he might do something but not enough to take anywhere near the time that I predict he will lose above. Top 5 maybe but not challenging Froome though.

kudos though for the bump of that magnificent video. i always said that le tour 2013 will be something like 2003,mental speed.
it won't be an easy task for froomey just like it wasn't for lance
