Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
nobody here really knows, we can only assume things now, and I have no idea why he is so good
It seems like only Nibali will be able to beat him at TDF even though it is also small probability..Teejay van Gardenen looks really strong, but I doubt that he will be able to challenge him....And Nibali looks very far from Froome in this stage of season....
Froome showed incredible levels of fitness throughout the season up to the tdf last year, some say he started to crack a tad in the final week, incredible how it is possible (drugs probably)
Nobody is beating Froome this year. He will win Paris Nice, Criterium International, Romandie and Duphanie and TdF later on. Nibali will not match him atleast this year, he is way off Froome's pace. But on a better side Teejay seems to be ready for tour podium.

EDIT: Assuming all the GC-guys started the climb in the smae group.
Gesink went 1 minute faster than when he won in 2011, and it was only good for fifth crazy! Cycling has gotten stronger.
What did you expect?
Sky started an arms race, now we have to live with the results.
And likely, WADA won't do anything about it

It only takes one crash but I agree, unless he gets busted for something he will win most of his season objectives. TVG will not podium at the Tour, a top 10 maybe but there are other riders who have his measure such as Contador, Nibali and Valverde just to name 3.

Froome's power output ~6.70 W/kg at Oman Tour, 9 mn for "GREEN mountain's" It's a ****ing RED ridiculous performance. Bull****, joke.

Haha Froome is so freaking ridiculously doped even BikePure are openly mocking him
But let's not say anything. He's not italian.

Likely, WADA can't detect whatever everyone is on. This could be like the new EPO era - a second major drug that can't be detected for another 5-6 years, before everyone moves on to something else.

Nah, Tejay won't make Tour podium. He'd only have a chance on that in the 2012 route, he's just not good enough in climbing to me, and it's too early to judge with just this result, IMO.
First of all, thanks to fiascotje and the other people who are involved in the great cycling hub channel. Nice service for watching race highlights
To Van Garderen: I can see him finishing top 5 in the tour, if he gets his form peak right.
The problem last year was, that he was peaking too early. He was very strong in May and June, but he was already past his peak in the final of Suisse, where he (semi-) cracked in the final climb of the ITT.

Thank you for the nice words. Fiascotje and I are running the cyclinghub
