Atleast we see Froome won't win it 6 or 7 times

I'm told the french tv commentator actually said Froome must've been told over the radio to slow down because it was too ridiculous.
Anyone here listening to french TV who can confirm?
Mean me ? I'm watching but barely listening.
The moron got mad at Vasseur (who's co-commenting) because he implied Froome may be doped and could have been told to slow down.
But they're just guessing what might have been said in Froome's ear-speaker. |

Excuse my naivety please; but if Froome was cheating (doping)... surely he gets tested?
Just wondered how he can do what he is doing, which makes the others look so far behind.
Most drugs are very hard to catch and then are only caught if administered incorrectly or poorly. Armstrong was tested hundreds of times, but never caught.

AICAR, GW1516 and 5th generation EPO are all undetectable
There is no test for autologous blood transfusions

Well Quintana is not 23 is he? he looks about 39. |

Froome doesn't even look slightly tired. If people weren't convinced by Stage 8, there is no way you can say he is clean now. |

Armstrong got tested frequently and never tested positive either. The performance is inhumane. And even worse considering he was a complete nobody prior to joining Sky. |

Quintana basically climbed his entire life. Froome started 2 years ago

Froome holding his earpiece: 'Right leg, then left? Okay, and what aft...oh right again? Oh ok...and after?'

Quintana will pass Mollema, Kreuziger and Ten Dam in the GC if this trend continues.

Yeah yeah I know that and I keep telling myself that, but with these power outputs from Froome.
I'll wait to see the W/kg stats that come afterwards.

Well if you take small amounts of doping before the stage it's untraceble after the stage |

Did someone take ARmstrong 2000 and put him into Froome???
But if Froome only takes .20-30 on Contador the race is still open a bit.

Quintana is born on 3000m AS, so , every day he had to go with some kind of MTB 15kms downhill to school and again back. It was perfect training. 3 years later, parents bought him bike.
And yes, this is TRUE story.

Watching Froome just look down at his power-meter every half second is quite funny.
