This tour is breaking Cadel mentally and physically. He would have been better off staying in bed. I don't think he will recover from this anytime soon. Tata Cadel

Maybe it would have been best for him to do the giro and then focus on the vuelta....the tour is just to hard this year for him.

I think we know what'll happen.

With experience, his timing will improve.

 

What a talent.

I also think he went too early. With 14 km to go. If he waited until there were only 5 left , it would have gone different for him. Well maybe. By the way, for everybody speculating, froome was 2 min slower than LA an Pantani

This is drama at its best. It is absolutely absorbing to watch a master at work, crushing the best in the world. I dont think I have seen such a calculated and clinical execution of opposition (except Zimbabwe maybe). Bravo! Froome is now in the league of Bolt.

Chris Froome's winning ride on the Mont Ventoux today in the Tour de France may have looked easy, but Sky's captain and the race leader was suffering and in need of oxygen at the summit.

After crossing the line at 1912 metres, medics strapped an oxygen mask to his face to make sure he would not faint.

"I can't ever remember taking oxygen before, after a stage like that," Froome said in a press conference.

Spare a thought for the family of commentator Paul Sherwen, watching as he slobbers on Andy Shlecks ***k in front of millions of viewers. Can he really promote this Luxembourger any more?
