dracs Posted July 17, 2013 Share Funny - someone expresses true feelings and he's a whinger! I would like to see more riders taking down the filter and say what they think! Guarantee there is no real bad blood between the 2 of them - they have both shown they have great respect for each other. And its not like Contador will take less risks now anyway - which is a good thing... Edited July 17, 2013 by dracs SwissVan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracs Posted July 17, 2013 Share So, back to the race - seems there is a good chance of rain for the late starters - this could really mix things up a bit as there are 2 technical decents... Good for Contador I'd say. Edited July 17, 2013 by dracs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and the worst is it seems like a lot of the comments are not based on what really was said but what words the media wrote into the story. This is exactly why some riders don't want to release data onto the public platforms, people like to look for the wrong thing so they can stand up on their soap boxes and shout wolf when all they have seen is a greyhound....

raptor Posted July 17, 2013 Share Dude, the oke is African, soft spoken , has never been implicated in a drug scandal rides like a champion , is not scared to attack even though he is in yellow and is giving us a GREAT TOUR,WHAT DO YOU WANT? Im so tired of this, he was maybe born here but he is a Britt now. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130715/cycling-froome-extremely-proud-be-british Despite that, he had never even been to the United Kingdom until he competed in the Tour of Britain in 2007 but he says he has no doubts whatsoever about his ties to the country."I feel 100 percent British," he said at a news conference on Monday, the second rest day of this year's Tour de France."I am extremely proud of being British and I really appreciate the many messages of support I have received from the British public."

Yeah, saddened by this... but I would agree, being of European descent, African is a state of mind, some people are 50th generation African and still consider themselves Dutch, while others are first generation and have Africa written on their hearts... Froome, by his own admission, is a Brit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froome, by his own admission, is a Brit.Not really. What else was he going to say - he rides for them in the olympics, is team leader for what is pretty much the uk flag carrying team, and was asked by a UK journalist. He is a product of Africa and comes here when he can - he pretty much is never in the UK. As you say - being African can be a state of mind and Froome has said before that once retired he will come back to Africa.

jcza Posted July 17, 2013 Share Great racing yesterday! Why must the attacks always be on the steepest climbs? Think back to last week when the crosswind and the attack split the peleton. When last did you see an attack on the descent? Berto might be getting desperate but there is no harm in trying and it makes for fantastic viewing. Now if Schleck can pack his chute away and Evans find some legs we can have a proper race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted July 17, 2013 Share he's not stupid, you don't bite the hand that feeds you. knows when to not always say what he wants to. Would not have expected him to answer/say anything else and don't blame him either. G Not really. What else was he going to say - he rides for them in the olympics, is team leader for whatn is pretty much the uk flag carrying tea, and was asked by a UK journolist. He is a product of Africa and comes here when he can - he pretty much is never in the UK. As you say - being African can be a state of mind and Froome has said before that once retired he will come back to Africa. dracs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMartin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Wow, if only Froome had the time to read this thread then he would really know how to race. And then we could teach him how to be hard as well. I mean how soft cock was that ride up vontoux? EZRider and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn199 Posted July 17, 2013 Share So Impey introduces OGE to Ouma Rusks and they love them, but soon started to run out of rusks. Good response to Daryl's twitter plea by Foodcorp, delivering a massive carton of rusks to the team. dracs, Tumbleweed, Meezo and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
