Bub Marley Posted May 29, 2017 Share Almost a winning performance against second tier stage racers, will have a problem when comes up against the likes of a fresh Alberto, Froome with his team and Bardet. To make matters worse for Quintana, he will have Valverde sitting on his wheel in France as well. Definitely not second tier he rode against. Way too harsh. Also not sure how Contador is classed as first tier? I get he's a fan favourite for most, even though I have no idea why, but he's never been anywhere close to Froome for quite a while now. And Bardet? Cmon dude. If anything, Froome is first tier and everyone else is second tier, or at least Team Sky is first tier. The likes of Nibali, Quintana, Contador and now Dumoulin, they're all on a similar level. Lets see if any of them can make that step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav' Posted May 29, 2017 Share Froome, Pffftt. Without his strong team protecting the life out of him for 3 weeks he ain't ****. (In my eyes at least)Contador is a fan favorite for a reason. You guys also did not mention Porte above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys also did not mention Porte above. Thats why cycling is a team sport and I love it so much. There is also so much money can buy I think in terms of suffering for a team mate, the rest is if you like the oke. Case in point, Valverde paid to ride for Quintana, I would rather have a puncture than him on my team. Where Froome has Luke Rowe, Ian Stannard, Mikel Nieve and Kiriy - okes that bury themselves for the oke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted May 29, 2017 Share Feels like a grand tour or Classic is on, a bit of Valverde bashing gets me in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Marley Posted May 29, 2017 Share Who exactly is Froomes biggest threat at the Tour? Considering Nairo is going to be completely gassed out in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contador got four second places in stage races this year already. IOW he is in good shape. Ruta Del Sol - 2nd to Valverde by 1 secondParis Nice - 2nd to Henao by 2 secondsPais Vasco - 2nd to Valverde by 17 secondsVolta Ciclista a Catalunya - 2nd to Valverde by 1:03 Rockstar Valverde is in just as good shape. Froome has been Nowhere this year so far, why...because the one trick pony only focuses on the Daupine and Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
