How is it possible that Andy Schleck can still not TT, if I was him, and had aspirations of winning a tour, "legitimately", I would be on that TT bike getting it right. Loosing 4:35 as a contender in a TT is just shocking.

I must say I agree... a big fan, but he's seemingly just not as determined as some of the others.

This kid is seriously impressing :thumbup:

 

Indeed.

Great prospect for the future.

Sure to regain the white jersey from Quintana. Exciting rivalry to watch this year.

Agree, if that pi$$ comes back with a positive test, he will be in groot stront.

 

Maybe it was warm French beer, man.

Woo. Froome leads by 1 sec at 9.5km. Hard to know if he's gone out too quickly and whether he can keep up with TM's strong finish, but not a bad start.

What a ride by Froome, unbelievable really.

 

I dont see him losing 3 mins on any of the mountain stages. He might lose time on the summit finishes due to attacks with 2km to go but that's 30" to a 1'30" not 3'30".

 

Unless Froome crashes he's got the tour in the bag. (IMO)

 

+ even if he lost 4 minutes he'll make it up in the next TT coming.
