Honestly think Froome's level of performance is making all the others race outside their initial game plan. They are really giving it their all. I honestly can not remember when last I saw a person outperform other top level cyclists like this. Not even the "hated devil" Lance was so dominant at his highest dosages

 

To be honest, I think Froome is now at his absolute limit, I honestly don't think he can go much harder/faster than he is going now.

He is at the limit of his body and his ability.

I say this with respect, not to belittle him as I think he is exceptional.

 

Now give Quintana a few more years to work at his ability and boom, we have another winner, another exceptional human.

We will have to accept that there are super humans.

 

Sadly/unfortunately Lance and the program Bruyneel is running has totally killed the credibility of the sport, even though the "doping culture" is not a new concept.

Just watching the riders getting ready to start. Obviously the four jerseys start at the front, but is there any protocol for where the other riders line up or is it just on how they arrive in the start chute?

Besides the 4 jerseys I don't think there is a protocol unless there is a birthday or it is the hometown of one of the riders.

I'm sure Cadel is thinking.........please make this stop!!

 

How old is Quintana again? He looks mid-30s.

 

Seems like Saxo and others are racing according to Edgar method, go till you blow (and then lose time) - a team with Contador, Rodgers, Kreuzinger, Roche, Paulino etc but with very poor execution.

 

If you read his story, jcza, he spent years in his youth as a labourer.

I know that labourers' work can earn a man many wrinkles.

 

He's got quite an inspirational life story.

 

So, if he should podium in his debut le Tour - WOWWWWWWW!!!!!

Ja, it looked pretty random from the chopper shot, but thought I would ask anyway*.

 

*Anything to avoid work… :whistling:

Didn't know that....shot Dale, and yes, love a rags to riches story.

 

PS oom doesn't do creams and moisturizers, heck he doesn't even use chamois cream.
