[TMP402]

Sky should let Contador stay out for the intermediate...

Why doesn't hernandez get to do that?

nah

 

[classicomano]

Meintjes spotted in the last wheel.

 

[jsem94]

Look who's at the back of the peloton. Lord have mercy.

 

[TMP402]

So Froome actually wants this.

 

[Asturiano]

Quick Step want to control this becuase the green jersey.

 

[TMP402]

Louis is not protecting his 12th place, what is he, high?

 

[burning]

I hope Froome goes for a top 15 finish, it will be hilarious

I know they're entitled to go it and this is a competition and all that, but this seems kind of classless from Sky doesn't it?

Why? A Jersey at a Grand Tour should be earned, not gifted.

Why? Should it be a gift or a prize being fought for?

Edit: lol Terpstra getting upset at Moscon :lol:

 

[Climbing]

Fine going for it, if Froome falls and Nibali gets the red jersey is fine as well right?

 

[wwabbit]

Lol, no one can accuse Sky for giving gifts

I'm 100% comfortable with this. There have been KOTM points available on the Champs-Élysées stage. If you don't want people to fight for them, don't put them there.

Its stupid not to go for it. The Points competition is a big thing, and it also undermines Trentins potential win if he only wins because Froome let him .

However it was idiotic that Poels finished before Froome yesterday, that would have been a lot easier for Sky.

Well, I don't think it would be a gift. Trentin would have 4 stage wins and green is meaningless to Froome.

Of course, that's the risk Froome would be taking then

Look at Sky racing. Does this look like meaningless? The classification reflects the results...

 

[HelloDolly]

Sky ? why oh why ? Does nothing to endear them
Means so little to Froome...means so much to Trentin

Right.

It's up to Froome what is meaningless to him, and evidently it isn't.

Yeah now that kind of makes me think that Sky is simply putting on a show here
