Has any current cyclist yet questioned Froome's cleanliness? If not, what's stopping them? It should be just as clear to them.

No reason to be rude, he rode a good stage. He wasnt much better (Ten Dam had probably dropped him if not for the pulling with 5-15 sec), but its till way above expectations for Fuglsang. Come on man
Not really, he has ridden the Mount Ventoux before in 09 in the Dauphine. Finished 5th, so he knows the climb. And the Danish people keep underestimating him. He is currently in top 7. And he has been a top 10 candidate for a GT. He is just a underated rider.
I dont think the danish people underestimate him, rather the opposite (talking about the media). But i think every dane is a bit surprised at his showing, you cant say with a straight face that you expected Birdsong to ride THIS good |

Actually Fuglsang 09 was very good. I remember the Dauphine where he was very close to Gesink uphill (and we all know 09 was Gesinks best year uphill).
He had a few difficult years but now seems to be back in his best shape. Ax3 was a bad day. Like you have good and bad days in the Tour. Except Froome. |

I hope the best is still to come, Froome stumbling on something on his way to the bus/car and has to abandon. |

David Walsh to TV2, telling how there are no doctors or anything - in contrast to Armstrong - putting Froome in connection with doping. "I've been through everything," Walsh said.
A shame watching Walsh putting his own integrity and reputation at stake like that.
Never.

Ten Dam basically saying he was good and Mollema said he could only follow. Rodriguez, Kreuziger and Fuglsang didn't contribute much (logically, it was headwind, they didn't want to) and therefore could jump away |

Purito Rodriguez good finish. Got 20-30s in last kilometer.
He should have done Giro and Veulta this year could have got podium. TdF with long climbs in very difficult especially team like Sky killing off with high pace. Veulta will be very good for him, just 1 TT (and 1 TTT).
Now TdF is surely over.
Positive thing from today is riders can match Froome. Like Quintana maybe next year, if he can improve TT ability, and give Movistar little brain. And even I bet, Nibali, we will have to wait till next year though. |

Your joking right? Quintana had nothing to come with, and he only hanged on because Froome didn't attack. |

Quintana attacked like 12-13kms out and Froome attacked from 6-7kms. Quintana was better I guess. While Froome was sitting behind Porte and Kennaugh, Quintana was riding alone up ahead with occasional help from Nieve, |
