What's this about Team Sky wanting to win the tour with a French rider? Direct quotes from Brailsford to L'equipe

Jakob Fuglsang looking tight as hell. Bossing it for sure

Watching the replays of Contador on the cobble, he suddenly went into pussy mode and dropped a ton of speed.

I think they will go with this story to make Froome look like he toughed it out, but you could hear the team and riders telling him to go on and he just threw a fit and got in the car. I bet the most hurt thing is his feelings. Very mentally weak.

Rolf Sørensen was screaming at him on national TV to get back on the bike and stop being a pussy and then he got angry at Team Sky for not just getting him back up on the bike ASAP instead of pandering his wussy tendensies and I did a lol and rubbed my thighs

He was hanging around the back of the peloton for almost the entire time between his first and 2nd crashes. Clearly had no confidence in his ability to keep the bike upright.

But enough about Contador haha

Breakaway is hosed since Gallopin is a part of it, he's only 3:27 behind Nibali

If Cancellara gets over the last climb I think he'll go for it

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

Dunno about this

Nibalis time was 30 seconds slower than Froomes on this climb

Today was a lot harder than the last time they came up here. I think Contador would have been faster, he was strongest and they all knew it.

Yeah but Froome had to help the turd Bradley Wiggins (except for the last part where he said gently caress it), he could have gone even faster

Welp, guess I'll be cheering for Porte to get on the podium then.

It's not okay to cheer for Porte, because he's an rear end in a top hat and everyone hates him

African AIDS cum posted:

TJ put 3 seconds into Porte today. Btw when Froome did this last wasn't it so hot the road was melting?

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.

Mont Ventoux is a trigger word for me
