My thoughts exactly.
The constant complaining about people "hating" them is getting really annoying.

Meh, it's exactly the same as the Hagen fans before, the Cavendish fans before that, the Fothen (lol) fans before that, etc etc.
Massive overhype by fans -> other people ask them to tone it down -> fans respond with You just hate [rider/team]'

Spoiler E.g. European Championship football in 2012. The internet was flooded with songs about how they were going to become European Champion while in the end they didn't even gather a single point and only scored two goals.
After Ax 3 Domaines many Dutchmen seemed to believe Mollema was going to challenge Froome for the yellow jersey while every sober soul knew he's not capable of that. It's really annoying and therefore people are happy it's stopped. |

Mollema took a look at the GC-standings and since he is afraid of heights he started to hurry down.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Exactly that and the fact that they destroyed Valverde's GC in which he would have been second and still manages to screw it and choke like they almost always does

You shouldn't take this serious. Most Dutchmen who say that aren't serious either. Call it 'Dutch optimism' or something. It's a way of having fun. And fanboys can be found in all nationalities.

Bjarne Riis admits that Contador need to be better in order to win anything and then says something interesting; Now we're riding Tour de France and we can't suddenly inject form into him.
Inject...
A small Freudian slip perhaps?

I did fall over the same formulation too.
I like the Freud unconscious reference here  |

Tomorrow is the day for the riders hunting the glory of being KoM.
Rolland and Nieve for sure will attack on the first climbs. Quintana wants it too, but cant attack before the last 2 climbs. Or he wont be allowed to do so by Froome.
Hope Rolland will find the 2011 and 2012 legs.
For some reason I believe Contador going all out tomorrow could end up in success. Now we are with the formulation of Bjarne Riis, he could inject a Landis form into from 2006  ?
Was it a 17 x times higher testosteron level compared to the day before or something like that? Maybe with a blood bag too

Don't you mean a "Fuentian slip"?

Ofcourse but if you're sick it's not responsible to ride. |

I knew something was wrong. It isn't normal to suddenly have such a big drop in performance. Could Ten Dam be sick too, or is he having trouble from his crash? |

Man, you're annoying..... Do you hate OPQS as well for that stage? Do you hate Cav for hitting Veelers who crashed? Do you hate Greipel for causing the big crash in stage 1? Do you hate Froome for having a 5-minute gap to the 2nd place? Do you hate Valverde for his suspicious past? Do you hate Movistar for doing the same as Belkin more often in the previous years?
Please, grow up and get over it!
And by the way: I'm no Belkin-fanboy, just a cycling fan who enjoys that a Dutch rider is doing pretty good. Getting 6th would be a very great achievement for a rider as Mollema, who surely hasn't got a suspcious past like some riders in the top 5....
