Oooh ... PR stunt?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Terrible camera angle at the finish, focused on the middle of the road where Modolo thought he’d won yet Boudat sprints up the outside and snatched it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Boudat took it.
Modolo thought he did.

Modolo is a clown, lost a win. Boudat with impressive work at the finish.

 

[jsem94]

What a narrow sprint too. Thankfully the peloton wasn't very big.

Re:

Agreed. When it is that close you just gotta sprint all the way to the line and push your wheel forward.

I don't think Velon have ever done a single thing that didn't make me want to vomit blood and decide which kitten is next.

 

[RedheadDane]

What, other than the data-sharing, has Velon had to do with this race?

downloaded Velon today, was dissapointed. Does it work properly in TDF or Giro?

Don't know, anything branded Velon is guaranteed to turn me off.

RHD, it is as noted Velon jumping on the chance as above for a very transparent cash-in publicity stunt, which absolutely is in character for them.

 

[RedheadDane]

Velon has been doing the data-sharing thing for ages... what's wrong with giving the people who are interested in rider-data, and can actually understand it, a chance to follow it live?

He didn't. He only posted up once he'd already hit the line

 

[Valv.Piti]

So lets see if Froome is 'emptying the tank' tomorrow on Allanades. Rumours say he has put in some nice work in SA and he doesn't have too bad memories from this climb, either. I say demolition time and 30 seconds to Landa/Fuglsang or whatever.

 

[Taxus4a]

Hope to see tomorrow a big battle between two excepcional riders, Landa and Froome.

Well he didn't throw and only lost on the photo so that can be considered losing the win

Welcome back grandeeee taxus

Vava froome!!!

 

[Taxus4a]

Landa is in good shape, he want to peak at Pais Vasco, so he is my favourite for today. Froome will be close, and Froome will finally get the race at the ITT. Both of them prefer longer climbs, but is enought for them to show his potential. Just Fulgsang can be close IMO today and in the overall. Obviously I am with Landa becouse he knows me and we talk always when I see him, and now that is difficult becouse he is quite famous, but Froome deserve my respect as person and champion, and in his current situation of misinformation about him (as always), it wouldnt be bad if he win.

Welcome back buddy, I hope you last a wee bit longer this time, particularly when you sprout this nonsense

That's a bold trolling...

It is what I think and what is easy to prove. Trolling is when people say something he cant argue.
I know in forum that is is not now the majoriy opinion, but people use to be wrong.
Some things are not to say in this part of the forum, but if someone want something more than free discredit, I have not problem.
The problem is when someone thinks his only true is what he think, and act as a dictator againts any other opinion. In spanihs that word is postverdad (maybe posttrue in english)

There is a fact, and the fact is that Froome is in a situation of misinformation, both the media and some cycling fans. If it is allowed to talk more about that here, no problem for me.

Hope CF keep his head down else the other forum would explode.
