Froome was 23:14 today. (Not having found it official yet, but should be correct)
So even Porte made the 21. fastest time ever and this as a helper after such an effort...PRobably you won`t find many helpers in the top100 if any. 
23:14 is good enough for 3rd fastest ever. Only Laiseka and Armstrong in 2001 was faster. Seems legit. |

Sky must have used the training camp for Froome and Porte.

Please please....Can anybody explain me this? Is this real? Is this really real set that high pace at climbs? I dont believe... you can say whatever....But one thing for sure, I really hate SKY.... They absolutely destroyed evrybody...Another boring TDF is coming.
Crying seeing Evans dropped too soon...Expect from here really more...And where are those who claimed that Teejay van Gardenen should be leader? |

He's old, get over it He reached the top young, so he declines young. Perfectly normal.
Martins saying it's going to be the best Tour of the last 10 years. That's too stupid even for him
Don't worry isso, he got something right. He said is the next Armstrong. |

actually Sky is showing that they learned from Armstrong.
instead of 1 rider winner 7 times they just let 7 different riders win 7 years in a row

So apparently those who know the science were anticipating about 24'10" as 6w/kg on Ax3. Froome did it in about 23'14",which should not be humanly possible.

Has a single team won all 3 GTs during a year? 2014 looks perfectly set.  |

True, he is really done with winning most likely. I hope Riijs will be sane and let Kreuziger ride for his own top10, instead of dragging Alberto around.

Tomorrow he'll be taking green by running Sagan & co off the time limit. |
