No... I didn't say the way he races. .I said the way they race [emoji6] .. sky smother races.. and yes they do it to get the win and that's the way it is unfortunately and they can because they have such depth but it's not something I like watching... I just want them to leave the Vuelta alone now..[emoji23][emoji23]

 

If Froome didn't have such a strong team he would have to do more on his own more often and he is very strong so he would probably light it up..but unfortunately doesn't need too[emoji53]

Could anyone win a GT without a top strong team? And control of the race pace might seem to some to be smothering ... but then other teams must raise their game.

 

But ultimately they all need a winner .. who can climb and smoke the TT's  -Chris did both, and although we didn't see the killah attacks of 5 years ago, he just didn't need to do that.

Change the rules. No powermeters permitted on bikes. That may go some way to prevent teams with hordes of super domestiques from smothering attacks.

No power meters, no radios, and a handicap system to match everyone to the heaviest oke in the peloton. If the modelling world can ban size 0's to make normal people feel better, I don't know why we can't watch the Angliru with pride instead of shame, which is apparently the same rough sort of feeling that people get watching Sky win. :(

 

Go, Chris.

Maybe also take away drafting..This whole team tactics thing just makes it to easy...and on top of that it's very hard to explain to people.

While we're taking things away why not the bikes and the riders as well, then we can all go watch rugby or something.
