Vetplant Posted May 29, 2017 Share This is just a trolling post, surely. Or someone is very very naive. (Then again, the post you're replying to is just as bad). We need look no further than last year's Vuelta to see just how close Quintana, Froome and Contador were. As I've said before, the margins are so small between first and the rest, that the slightest thing (like Contador continually falling off his bike) can have a profound outcome on the result. Froome is beatable, it's just going to take some cunning bike riding to do so.Teaming up against TummyD almost worked, maybe it is a worthwhile effort for a couple of GT teams to form an alliance of sorts and attack Froome until he is mathematically out of contention...?

Jakkals. Posted May 29, 2017 Share he was just under 5 min off. That's not really that close in my opinion. Previous Tour de France years he's been more than 5 min off the pace. As soon as we hit the first mountain stage, Alberto will dropped like always. You can quote me on that.His leg was fractured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted May 29, 2017 Share We'll talk again after the tour. (when he's the only one attacking Froome/Sky left right and center)Yip.. someone who will lay it all on the line for a chance at glory ... few of them around. As long as what there is tar to ride, no matter the deficit he will fight to the bitter end ..Now if he can just stay on his bike.

seanp Posted May 29, 2017 Share I know Giant has done pretty well in terms of stage victories in the various Grand Tours, but is this their first overall GT win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted May 29, 2017 Share Thanx for the info. [emoji106]That'll suit him.He will prob co-lead with Valverde thenGiving Movistar some options.Wonder how much team depth they've got.Movistar should think long and hard Valverde has shown really great form this year .. smart racer too.

Gen Posted May 29, 2017 Share Teaming up against TummyD almost worked, maybe it is a worthwhile effort for a couple of GT teams to form an alliance of sorts and attack Froome until he is mathematically out of contention...?Very hard to do...he has a superior team.. BUT I can't wait to see the trek lineup for the TDF. They have brought some really good generals. .we could almost see the 2 teams evenly matched.
