airstream said:Purpose of this post is do not judge others, and you will not be judged. People should be more kind to each other instead of posting 'Froome will attack from 1 km to go while Contador will attack whenever he wants' when the opposite was obvious.

For me it wasnt obvious at all.
airstream said:Surely, I even know why. It wasn't obvious for you because it is always grateful to see what you like and put a blink eye at what you dislike in order not to lose hope. Froome's crazy Oman move was forgotten, Froome's Tirreno attack was assessed barely like weakness since it was only from 900 m to go. Undoubtedly it was to harsh to contemplate that it was the most effective tactics use a team resource instead of attacking from 3-4 km to go (Froome was able to do that). You guys willingly built myth of 'he can't attack Contador successfully because it is Contador.' [one can read it an uber strong Contador is impossible to drop). Many people didn't want to look up to Froome's power until Ax 3 stage. Even Valmorel was handled like a weak stage though Froome was simply walking out there without having any necessity to do anything.
