Would be a shame if Jungels can't get pink on stage 10. brambilla wont keep it. looking at that stage, it's likely that a complete GC overhaul could see him miss it and someone of the mountain riders gets his hands on it. that would suck a lil

A pity for Jungles, he really deserves pink.
Strong performance of Brambilla though.
Zakarin can't handle a bike. Yet another factor that makes him perfect for Sky.  |

You were saying that Froome is gonna do a great ride on LBL which he din't do(I don't remember what you said exactly).Also you are saying that Zaka has a lot to learn with his riding style.Also Froome crashed in two consecutive stages in TDF 2014.

Zakarin will prolly do a Floyd Landis in the mountains to make up the lost time.  |

I don't see how froomes riding style is related to his chance of doing well at LBL? Nor is there any reason to mention froome when Zakarin objectively got stuff wrong.

I understood your post very well, I still have to get why you would suddenly mention froome in a completely unrelated argument?

Zakarin's not the best bike handler but he did only crash once today and that was on the other corner where many other riders came down. The other two times he stopped were merchanicals.

Maybe because both Froome and Zakarin seem to lack bike handling skills.
Something that doesn't come in vials.

I didn't realise he was ridiculing Zakarins riding style from his understandable "zakarin hasn't learnt anything" post, after he crashed 2 times.
Anyway, there's still no reason for a response like that.

Weren't they both from the crash on the last corner? Or where they on opposite legs?

Also I don't see what is wrong with comparing Zaka to Froome.I may have been a bit rude though,apologises to Luxemburger,if I sounded rude. |

He crashed twice and had a mechanical following his fall.
The problem about comparing froome with zakarin is that 1. there was no point in it when you are not even sure burger is a froome fan, 2. that zakarin objectively can't ride a bike correctly if he falls 2 times, 3. froome is not even in the race and you mentioned a completely unrelated fact....

Comparisons make things vivid.
And also there is no other GC contender that can ride a bike that bad.
So I think, it's valid to compare 'em.
Edit: Anyhow, strong performance of Chaves again, right? Like that little guy. |
