Whether you love or hate Froome, the Mont St. Michel TT in 2013 was a memorable stage.
i don't say tt are not good i just said that if froome has climbing domestique for multiple mountain stage why not Quintana or even Chaves could have a TTT of 80 km with super time trialist in their team , could we agree on this?

Sky would probably win a lot of time on movistar on a TTT on 80 km in the tour de france. Would make the race even more boring.

So they are softpedaling a stage just after Froome's weakest day? :eek: :rolleyes:
I would actually like hear the reason behind this.

Maybe everyone is tired. This stage basically has the profile of a shortish classics race.

But, lots of racing to go today...

Yeah and if we removed mountain stages guys like Cancellara and Martin probably would've won multiple GTs :confused:
First TDF: 1903
First mountain stage in TDF: 1905
First ITT stage in TDF: 1934

TT's in GTs are an afterthought[/quote]
I'd rather call it the development or evolution of the sport.[/quote]
look this year vuelta you can make history in the climbs not in tt , and as i sadi i would like a ttt of 80 km that's fair not itt of 60 km[/quote]


Your getting a nice Katusha TTT now!
