Don't press play
It's not really the veininess of the arms that gets me, it's how thin they and his legs are.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Looks like cup of piss got Michelle froome out of twitter retirement to accuse Ross Tucker, veloclinic, vayer etc of being responsible but she's now deleted her account which is extremely disappointing

You should try it, it's a real buzz.
Lefevre is being interviewed at Sporza and he too is pointing at the press asking questions about the performance of Froome being the culprit of the whole shebang.

Yeah, gently caress you too buddy. How did you get away with being the managing director of loving Mapei?

What was that all about? The Tinkoff mechanic just threw a bottle at the camera moto. For daring to stop and televise sagan changing a bike?

Good shot too

E: planned bike change, probably distracting the camera as they switch out the motorised wheel

Didn't want to see him set up the motor in the frame, obviously.

Ah okay. Sagan slowed with the camera behind him, then kicked the moto as he tried to get around him out the way.

There's a roundabout like 200 m in front of the finish line. Maybe that'll be entertaining.

Haha they are really sticking it to him saying how the gently caress can he hold 7.04w/kg up Piere St Martin, everyone else that has done before has been caught doping. He said it's a model they don't know his weight which was countered with the claim they overstated his weight to be safe.

He then tried to talk about the bio-passport to which was immediately shut down by saying it's easy to get around. He's walked into a den of wolves here and not coming off well.

When asked for Froome's weight he said he didn't know to which a panel member told him every day the riders are weighed. The presenter stated Froome's wife had tweeted he was 69kg, the number of 7.04w/kg was based on the weight of 71, the recent claim of 69kg by his wife would put that number even higher. Brilliant :)

Just wish they'd picked up on GT and Porte's performances because they are flying under the radar it seems.

The french love having a go at someone, especially if it means they can ignore how bad their riders have been by doing it.

Why is Froome getting confrontational, it never works out well.

It has nothing to do with nationalism, they don't like to see their race turned into a farce. They loved Indurain and Lemond.

From the Guardian's BTL comments:

quote:

Fascinating stuff on French TV afterwards. Brailsford repeated his intention to release Froome's data and be open, then claimed not to know (ie refused to say) Chris Froome's weight! Incredible stuff.

I wonder where all this is going to end up. It'll be interesting to see.
