froome now having a pre-emptive whinge about the potential danger of the descent tonight if it's wet. baby wants it shortened if it is raining heavily.
he's turning into a bit of a cry-baby this guy.
"He should use his brakes more if he's afraid on the descents. We are going to attack everywhere, whether it is going uphill or downhill."
he is imperious going uphill and a monster on the flats, and pretty much unbeatable on an uphill MTF - if he can hold out until the final climb in the wet he will blow the lighter blokes away as he will get much more traction - check out what he did at the criterium international in the wet earlier this year, but just like wiggo at the giro, froome is not a good descender.
what i wouldn't give for nibali to be in this tour
**** this is going to be great tonight
Absolutely rubbish tactics from saxo, burning two domestiques before the first ascent jeez
I hear froome has been docked the monumental amount of 20 seconds for once again blatantly cheating with regards to taking on food. Good to see Rogers in the Top 10, shame to see Porte helping out the dirty British team so much. Cadel looks to be enjoying a leisurely ride through France.

best moment of the tour by far. national hero.
hansen is a ledge, ultimate hardman, his win in pescara this year at the giro was epic
SBS to broadcast the TDF until 2023.

not a bad career.
what a ledge
ps i totally froomed you all in the fantasy, eat dust losers
man i would have won if i submitted my team on time
you got dropped like big del evans m8 no fault of mine that you can't juice
Me too. I missed having my team submitted for 4 days
i'll be back next year bigger and better than ever
So Q-man. Give me your predictions.
1. What happens to team Sky next year regarding Froome and Wiggins (and even Porte)?
2. Does BMC get turned over to TJ?
3. Does Cadel go again and if so does he warrant a #1 spot on a contending team?
(I'll think of more questions, we've got 12 months).
1. they will run froome at tour again, wiggo should dom for froome at the tour or race the vuelta. wiggo can't descend, ruling out the giro again. however he's racing the tour of poland this week, will be interesting to see how he has recovered. porte not being british won't get a shot imo. he will get offered better money and leave. if greenedge get a couple more decent super domestiques and throw money at porte it would be great, porte is a genuine GC contender if he can really start bossing the TTs.
2. if i were at BMC i'd put cadel as leader at the vuelta and let van garderen have a crack at the tour. cadel is still a great GC rider, as shown at the giro, but two grand tours a year is too much
3. definitely, he still has a lot to offer with the right people around him, BMC probably is not the place for him though
Is Wiggins ego going to be able to cop being a deputy?
He's a Knight after all!!!
Just thinking back to the Contador/Armstrong days.
Imagine them going at each other as teammates next year. That would be great.
i actually quite like wiggo tbh, even though he's boring as batshit as a rider.
he should be kissing froome's arse really for his tour victory, but legit doesn't care.
froome owes porte some big sloppy gobbies for dragging him through some of those stages, imagine the three in a bizarre love triangle
Ohhhgrady !!!
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
can't we just agree that anybody that raced in the 90's and for most of the 2000's was on the gear and move on?
