Froome19 said:A good day by Menchov, nothing more would be expected for him and now it will be about hoping Froome is worked to the ground by Wiggins and trying to beat Nibali in the last TT which he should do and then sticking with him on the climbs and the Sky train on the descent. Menchov will surely be realistic and he is experienced and will surely realise when and where he needs to expend energy to have a shot at the podium.
TeoSheva said:... and he's really far from winning this race like a lot of guys were saying before the tour...
Maaaaaaaarten said:Why would Menchov want another podium? He al ready has two podiums
He should try allying with Evans and Nibali and JvdB in the offensive, even though it will probably fail.
Maaaaaaaarten said:Lol, what forum have you been reading?
TeoSheva said:Menchov is doing an average race like you can expect from a rider that in the past two years has been an average rider... a top5 for him will be great... and he's really far from winning this race like a lot of guys were saying before the tour...
the palmares doesn't help you during the climbs or during the ITT...
