Patchelicious Posted May 23, 2017 Share Tells me that NQ is concerned with TD's climbing ability... and is desperate to get any time that he can... desperate men do desperate things. Maybe NQ is realising he doesn't have the legs that everyone thinks he does!!Thought we could just read that again. Not only for NQ, but Nibs too. Giro is his thing.Remember last year when Clean-Counter-Impey out climbed him. They went into a rest day, next thing he was off the front like Pantani. He also attacked Crosswick when he crashed..... Desperate men.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted May 23, 2017 Share Despite all the hate I think Nairo will take the stage today. (outside bet - Foliforov from Gasprom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjoe he obviously had a good mattress and pillow because he put plenty of tarmac between himself and everyone else that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted May 23, 2017 Share That and when your Team think its ok for them stop their cars in places that endanger other riders lives to geta new bike to their GC guy a few seconds quicker. Biggest joke is he is not even in Pink and the race treats him like he is in the lead. I expected Sky to drive the pace after that to say thanks to Movistar for stage 5.

coppi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Looks like everyone hates Quintana all of a sudden... Not too long ago everyone loved the little smurf.Not me, I've never liked him !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted May 23, 2017 Share I also think Sky will be in the mix today, a few unspoken alliances and to put pressure on Movistar, if not to break them.. to at least keep the pace high that is difficult to attack... going to be an interesting day!!

Patchelicious Posted May 23, 2017 Share Not me, I've never liked him !!!I think there is the crowd who like him, and then there is the crowd who likes him because he is the only one who could really challenge "The One We Do Not Speak Of" at TDF".

Perfect for Tom D, not so perfect for others trying to close the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted May 23, 2017 Share Despite all the hate I think Nairo will take the stage today. (outside bet - Foliforov from Gasprom)Lets not confuse dislike for him as people discounting his cycling ability. I still think he can take a real stab at winning the race.

Making the race hard will hurt Tom D more than NQ on a day like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think its unfair that some seem to think one can sit Froomes wheel and attack at will up the alpine climbs while every other GC contender has been dropped.

I still think he can take a real stab at winning the race.Ja.. still a very good climber. .but as we see more of him I am starting to think he is a good climber but not a smart enough GC rider when faced with tough competition and when it isn't going his way.
