German commentator shows some balls. Tells his honest opinion about Sky.

He said, that Froome shouldn't have started after the Salbutamol case. "Yes, of course he's cleared, but you still could've decided to not let him start."
He thinks that the dominance of sky is just a bit too much. He said, thjat sky brutalized the other teams and overall if you're german, you can listen a bit between the lines, where he's basically saying, that he thinks they're doped. Obviously, he can't just say it out loud, but maybe some other germans here can testify this.

Then thumbs up for German commentator. With this kind of progression Froome will aim for treble next year

Also according to the german TV(which is pretty accurate this tour), Gaviria is very close to abandoning.

Don`t think it`s as much as you said but goes into the direction a bit.
But mainly the expert LeClercq and not the actual commentators.
Their saying more is to a question by some post why ESP is not talking about the doping case, that while it`s obviously not ideal situation, Froome was cleared and hence everyone must accept this and also ESP commentators won`t start to talk different.
The commentator and the expert afterwards talked about all the confusing things and that it`s a money thing while small riders from small teams would surely have gotten the ban due to not spending millions of euros.
Following was a discussion if it shouldn`t be more equal in general as Nibali as well said recently with some salary cap to avoid such dominant teams.
But I didn`t hear them saying that Sky basically was doping, also not between the lines as also didn`t hear them saying that they shouldn`t let him start. Basically their saying was opposite, that due to the clearance it`s fine to start. |

Most of all hates Froome and Sky team. We can feel that something is wrong there.
We dont need hate Froome or other riders. Brailsford is man behind all that.
He has ton's of money , he has UCI balls. |

No more sprinters left... Kristoff, Sagan, Demare and Degenkolb the biggest sprinters left.

No Greipel, Gaviria, Groenewegen or Cavendish now damn. Demare and Sagan must be pretty pleased.

Maybe Paul was talking about ARD. I agree with you about LeClerq
"He made a bigger comeback than Easter Sunday."

Difference to last years might be that the heat makes it even more difficult for sprinters. Plus the short stages and hence short time limits. |
