Great job Froomedawg. A perfect way to deliver a metaphorical punch in the mouth to your detractors and put the Contador fan boys in their place!

Indeed. At this point in time, it's unlikely Contador can win an important race against Froome before he retires.Suspicious said:Great job Froomedawg. A perfect way to deliver a metaphorical punch in the mouth to your detractors and put the Contador fan boys in their place!
Taxus4a said:It will be a nervious stage, they have to be always in the front to avoid any crash or echelon, and mainly in the final climb to put well his rider. I think Froome and Contador will be both in the top 10 tomorrow, at least one of them, the 800 metres previous to the last 200 m are at 6 %, and there will be 200 m at 8 %, in the last meters, splits are almost sure in the top 20 riders.

Of course Lobato and Degenkolb are the favourites.

LaFlorecita said:Yes, Michelle loves the trophy, so surely the Alien will go full *** to win. Better get your bets in early.
BigMac said:I wonder if you're just looking for attention.
And then you have the guts to lecture people on what's respectful and what's not.
Disgusting.

But us fans of stylish rider's with flair and natural talent and Bertie has tons of that should keep smiling and here is why.
Bertie beat up up the eggnog wizard in the ITT
Bertie then went about usual business and took off and left the eggnog wizard eating the dust of defeat but this was King Bertie's mistake. he should not have let up on that last climb. He should " and should in future" have hammered home his superiority and put the race to bed.
The small eyed eggnog man wins one stage when and Lets be honest , Bertie looked heavy legged.
Im am happy for the next time they meet as Bertie will destroy Froome once again.
Take your victory Sky fan boys because just like last season the ET lookalike will not win NUFFINK of any importance.
Scores Bertie 2 vs Froome 1 " tired Bertie"
THE KING LIVES
ps no sign of bigfoot or UFO activity in todays race.

rick james said:Yip Contador sure looked "stylish" when Froome left him buckled side ways on his bike.
LaFlorecita said:I assume you are just ignoring me on twitter so I'll state it here: Echoes asked me to ask you to clear your PM inbox.
LaFlorecita said:Alberto could be zigzagging all over the road hunched over the handlebars in a way reminiscent of the great man Evans and he'd still look more stylish than the 150 RPM praying mantis.

So classy again. People like you are the ones who take this forum down to kindergarten level. Always trying to be funny with moronic snide remarks, insulting riders without thinking twice. And at the same time pass this harmless sweet girl image. Again I say, disgusting.
Pricey_sky said:Don't know of it's just trolling but it's posters like yourself with the pathetic name calling whenever Froome does well that have made this week even more enjoyable for me, that's not a mark on all Contador fans though. As people know there are AC fans on here and twitter that I genuinely get on with and respect.
Oh and for the record 2-1 is not right when Froome has taken the GC, and finished the jersey wearer in points, and ahead in mountain, and ahead in the team classification.
LaFlorecita said:Pricey, I think we should only consider the direct battles, because the classifications are the result of those direct battles. We can say that Froome is 1-0 ahead in race wins.
Bushman said:This is pathetic and you know it. In professional cycling you don't hand out gifts left and right and especially not to your biggest rival. This is professional sportsmanship, there is no reason to try and make it out to be something personal between Froome and Contador.
Miburo said:Some of you fail to realise that Contador has never been able to beat a Froome at 100%, you can make the same argument for contador though.
It's good that there's this stage

Did you see the ITT where Bertie went quicker than Mr Froome 1 nil to Bertie
Did you see Bertie drop Mr Froome and and win yesterdays stage 2 nil to Bertie
Mr Froome won yesterday and going from previous meetings with a on form healthy Bertie then obviously Bertie was not on good form . 2 vs 1
King Bertie wins
I am indeed a Bertie Fan and have not 1 but 2 signed posters after meeting the man himself in London.
You are coming at me with words like an angry bell ringer.
I say " chill " " relaxxxx" " have a cup of tea" Its only a egg based ET man riding a bike

Taxus4a said:Froome won the Vuelta a Andalucia even not taking risk in the ITT and despiete his bad work os his team in Hazallanas. so of course froome won.
Taking 28 secons in a short climb he can put two minutes on Contador in a hard stage in le Tour. As well Contador could take some seconds some day, I dont rule out that
