kiddy Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's been a good few years since there's been a 'bonk', to the extent of Aru's, from a GC contender. At least Mollema had the balls to give it one last crack before blowing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Craig Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm just disappointed we never got to hear Sean Kelly say "Hunger Knock" It's up there with "Time bonnification" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Froome not interested in trying to win the Giro or Vuelta, intends to concentrate on the Tour for the next 5/6 years "if he can". That his bike handling in the wet has been shown up again, would definately put him off Italy in May & he's already come up short a couple of times in Spain. Whatever did happen to Juan Jose Cobo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Into the last couple of laps, safe to say it's been a crap day for Etixx so far. Tony Martin abandoned, Kittel then has a mechanical and has to swap bikes, only for the new one to be fecked too and he ripped the wheel off and chucked it down the road. Used a fair bit of energy to catch up. Dan Martin now has a puncture so it's going to be tough for Kittel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Greipel finally gets his stage win, used Kristoff to lead him out with Sagan almost catching him on the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Another British win. 12, 13, 15, 16 I await all those who would not know a derailleur from a bottom bracket to fill the pages with their sagacious knowledge of how Team Sky could only beat Romain Bardet by 4 minutes using drugs. The technical knowledge of bikes and physiology is always so... inventive. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Should actually be Froome's fourth Tour, as he handed the first to "Sir" Wiggo on a plate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Froome was head and shoulders the best GT rider in that race. Won it with power to spare. I hope he turns up at the Vuelta properly prepared and thrashes the Spaniards on home soil. That would be funny IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Ah, I thought I heard the commentators speaking about the Vuelta today. Must've misheard. I think I heard Froome say he wants to do the Tour for 5/6 more years!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You have to wonder. He was smirking last year when he was saying his samples won't ever test positive. The front on the guy is unreal. Or he's clean [emoji15] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Just for fun, but how many of the top 10 do you think are clean? Obviously we can't know for sure either way!! PS - by clean I mean not having used blood bags, EPO or anabolic steroids during or in their preparation for the tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) IMO - Quintana rode the tour clean. As did Bardet, Martin and Meintjes. ETA - And Yates too. Edited July 24, 2016 by Daydream 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that if Froome was doping and all those guys were clean, then he would have won by a lot more than 4 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
