Bonus Posted July 5, 2017 Author Posted July 5, 2017 There is an opinion that Froome's training regimen has been different this time round as he's preparing to race both the Tour and the Vuelta, so trying to peak later to hopefully win both. Not sure how true this is. I'll let you know at the end of September . . . .
s14phoenix Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 There is an opinion that Froome's training regimen has been different this time round as he's preparing to race both the Tour and the Vuelta, so trying to peak later to hopefully win both. Not sure how true this is. Does make sense as it did seem as though he was running on fumes last year trying to do the double after also winning the Dauphine. Now the question is whether Quintana was doing the same and that's why he lost the Giro? Or did he just lose it because he lost it or did he lose confidence.
NotSoBigBen Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 I agree, but thats humans, we need the next scandal to forget the previous one.It will blow over soon, just like all things do sooner or later. Fighting it just perpetuates that Streisand effect.Sounds so like the wimmin folk in my family [emoji57]
Bateleur1 Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 NQ nowhere to be seen today... think he will be lucky to make the podium! Me thinks his goose is cooked. Unless he gains some form in the next week he could just as well pack up and go home.

coppi Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 NQ nowhere to be seen today... think he will be lucky to make the podium!one of the worst GC contenders out there imho..............
Pure Savage Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 one of the worst GC contenders out there imho..............I think him and Contador will only get stronger, remember last year, Nairo was also gapped in the first week. Give him time.
Pure Savage Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 From "drunk cyclist" on instagram PS............Hey, only on weekends, half way through long boring sprint stages...
jimmycool Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 I think him and Contador will only get stronger, remember last year, Nairo was also gapped in the first week. Give him time.Trouble is, by then they will both be trailing the skyborgs by 5 or 6 minutes and there's no coming back from that.
Bub Marley Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 I think him and Contador will only get stronger, remember last year, Nairo was also gapped in the first week. Give him time.I enjoy the optimism everytime someone posts about Contador. Puts a smile on my face. WhEn he gets dropped again it'll be because of injury.
