Poor Richie. But he is frank about his feelings.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

I didn't watch cycling back then, but looking back at some archive footage, I get the feeling this Skytrain thing is even worse than Us Postal. I mean I see Armstrong actually attacking, not from 200 m from the finish. There seems to be animo in these races.
Or am I mistaken, seeing things out of context?
well Froome attacks at least sometimes I guess, remember that famous Planche des Belles Filles stage. Yesterday Sky has just hidden a very bad Froome day very well. Why should he attack when he's dead empty?
And why the f*** do I defend Team Sky?

Froome attacks when he can/needs to. At the moment he knows he'll put over a minute into everyone on the final tt so there is no immediate need to attack, especially if he is on a bad day like yesterday.
He'll be waiting for stage 18 which is a Froome climb. Long and steady.

Hopefully Contador and Quintana go at Latrape or Agnes followed by Landa. Then Landa goes all-in and gets earpieces out. Bardet, Aru and Uran to attack on either Col d' Agnes or Mur de Peguere and drop Froome. Landa wins the stage 2 mins ahead of Aru/Bardet/Uran and Froome loses additional 1-1:30 to Gr.Aru. Portal gets mad at Landa 
Probably it will be a boring stage and the GC contenders will finish together. |

Well yes, but if you're embarrassing yourself by taking it back, even if a majority of the people think they were wrong.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I expect the same, but hope for an AG2R firework. It's Bastille day and they have the strongest team next to sky.

Fuglsang is still here. Good on him as a teammate but hope he doesn't make it all worse or put himself through too much 
Also Voeckler right on the wheel of the comisseur's car. Come on Tommy
