What a disappointment watching Quintana. Clearly doesn't have it in him for this tour.

In 5 years time we will be saying hey remember that Colombian that looked so promising, wonder what happened to him.

NQ is probably waiting to attack at the Shanzelize.  :mellow:

Now that Cavs gone home? I bet he couldn't believe his little Colombian socks!

Let's hope this won't happen... still a promising rider... hopefully next year he'll prove that he is a proper contender...

General classification after stage 17

 

1 Christopher Froome (GBr) Team Sky 77:25:10

2 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Trek-Segafredo 0:02:27

3 Adam Yates (GBr) Orica-BikeExchange 0:02:53

4 Nairo Quintana (Col) Movistar Team 0:03:27

5 Romain Bardet (Fra) AG2R La Mondiale 0:04:15

6 Richie Porte (Aus) BMC Racing Team 0:04:27

7 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar Team 0:05:19

8 Fabio Aru (Ita) Astana Pro Team 0:05:35

9 Daniel Martin (Irl) Etixx - Quick-Step 0:05:50

10 Louis Meintjes (RSA) Lampre - Merida 0:06:07

 

Louis TOP TEN!! - Dan Martin, Valverde, watch out!

 

Also, Bardet growing on me...

Happy for Main Cheese!

 

Bardet probably the best of the Frenchies, likable too.

 

Hoping RP can leap frog into third, Bardet into fourth and Yates holding on for fifth with Main Cheese getting a top ten too, in Paris of course!

I wanted to mention that a few days ago and was hoping I could find an article on that. That was when I lost all my respect for RH. A few youngsters proved him wrong.

If I remember correctly he said it will take 10 years before other SA riders will be at that level.He was not far off in the end...We have only in the last 2 or 3 years really had guys up there.He was on his own up there for a very long time.But yes most did not like him because of things like that.

Think Meintjes has a very good opportunity now to get up to 8th!

Valverde might drop out of top 10 and Martin looks like he is suffering.

Gooooooo Meintjes!!!!!

Good one L.M, and to think a few years ago Robbie Hunter made mention there were no SA riders able to ride TDF.

 

Froome my man :thumbup:  

 

he said that much more than a few years ago, was probably from more than 10 years ago.
