I don't know what was so deserved after Nairo lost the Tour in the first week.
Oh really i must of missed Quintan's mechanical? You do know Froome was in first group whose fault he missed it? Quintana, Froome was there. I seen no mechanical. And just stop, Froome would have went crazy on PdB with just 1 min adv. You know it and i know it. So far in both his TDF wins he is better untill final week. |

Froome was the best this TDF great in the first week, many fools said he would not even reach the mountains, yet he proved them wrong and was the best wk 1.
Ha! I don't know what you are smoking but it must be some good stuff

Froome I think. He had ~20 points on Quintana and only finished 2-3 places behind him. |

Quintana 39:22 - 26 seconds faster than 2013 and faster than Sastre 2008. Very impressive performance

Please do tell me though what was wrong with my post Stryds. Quintana is a beat i did no disservice to him i just said Froome wa the best for 2 weeks so he deserves the TDF. We both know he was under loads of scrutiny and you know for fact many said he could not stay on his bike. He would have went for in week 2 more if not for the crosswinds. Froome rode great in first week?. |

going back to stages from of old. where the longest stage in the last 10 years is considered an really short one and the most known sort of doping is the train

Valverde has to get Velo d'Or this year. Almost Ardennes Triple + 3rd at Tour. Just wow.

whut, a breakaway top 10.
don't think Zubeldia even done a top 10 that way
to be fair, only the top 7 aren't breakaway riders  2007 Tour de France.But then he gained 2 places thanks to Klöden and Ramussen abandoning while keeping his place against others. |

Indeed very fast, is that the record? If it is Froome has not even been that bad although looking really weak he as been doing ok numbers as Quintana had the record yesterday on Toussuire

Quintana lost because of a rookie mistake and lack of experience. He was the strongest rider in the mountains. Also no way to tell how he would have gone on Plateau de Beille. After all, he hates rain and there was a downpour there. Froome is the winner and this is all that matters, yes I agree. But it would be interesting to see how Quintana will develop further. |

Pantani has the 3 best times. You wouldn't be able to beat them on a motorbike. Will never happen.

I'd say Sanchez was the most Zubeldia-like of the Top 15 - he's certainly the one I saw the least of those 15.
