Lance Armstrong won 7 tours by winning the sprint on the champs elysee. Lol at the other guys tiring themselves out in the mountains.

quote:He told TeamSky.com: “I’m devastated to have to pull out of the race. It was the right thing to do after crashing again and I knew that I couldn’t carry on. Also re watched when he abandons, he stand ps there waiting for the car just looking dejected, car pulls up and he gives the I'm done sign, then realizes he should act like he's in pain so winces a bit. At the finish when they interviewed Geraint Thomas after was the first he heard Froome abandoned he had an interesting reaction, something like "oh thats disappointing for him" didn't seem to care .

I wonder if they could develop disc brakes where you don't have to worry about burns in a pileup situation

They need to stop mentioning Mark Renshaw as someone who has a chance to win. Dude is nothing more than a leadout man and will never win anything meaningful

Gregor Samsa posted:City is garbage, but much of the state is very pretty and rideable, especially in the fall. Takes a ton of money to host a race, pay to put up teams, all the police for road closures etc. Tour of California doesn't make money and has been in danger of being cancelled quite a lot, there's very little TV interest in the sport here too

So much better having a chill fratty team like Astana in yellow. If Sky had it we'd be watching Christian Knees or whoever driving a boring procession up these climbs ensuring nobody gets off the front or has any fun.

TJVG could be a contender for overall if not for his crashes probably. Would be funny if Horner went full retard and won. I still don't think Nibali is in great climbing shape

Allyn posted:TJVG only won white because of all the TT kms that year, like Wiggins but even more extreme. Dude is not a good enough climber (or at least not elite) I think he is in much better shape now and on the winners program, team believed in him enough to make him sole leader and not bring Evans

Clugg posted:Yeah unless his bike literally fails like you said I can't see anyone else winning. He has fantastic bike control so I can't see him crashing out, and now that Contador's gone there's nobody left to challenge him in the mountains. Plenty of big days in the mountains left, anything can happen.

Hegay posted:Yeah I think so. If you watch the highlights of that race he could easily have done it quicker but he had to help Wiggins, he ended in a sprint to beat Evans, Wiggins etc It was disgusting, I remember fuming at the time, melting down on the forums as a bunch of people here called Sky a clean team, shaking a little bit just thinking about it now.

Pocket posted:This is how you crash out of a Grand Tour, fracture your leg, ride up a Cat 1, say thank you and good bye to your team and then get in the car. None of that, "Oh I got hairline fractures in my wrists, honest!" True. Hopefully Quintana roasts Froomey at the Giro and he fakes another injury to try for the worlds.
