Vetplant Posted July 2, 2018 Share So... Back to racing talk: Froome and Sky are still the team to beat. The others are going to have to change their tactics because what they have been trying the past couple of years hasn't worked. You need to get Froomey on the back foot early on in the race in my opinion to have any chance against him, plus then it will be more exciting with another Froomster Giro-like attack in the final week. The TTT on stage 3 is going to give someone a significant disadvantage to have to fight back against, but that someone will not be Froomey, they will be at the pointy end of things.

Yo-Yo Posted July 2, 2018 Share The whole saga is over and done with.. finally.. Froome has been cleared and free to race http://www.uci.org/pressreleases/uci-statement-anti-doping-proceedings-involving-christopher-froome/ Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Can't wait to hear from The Badger on this one. I half expect him to still turn up at the start with a crowd and some pitchforks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkI reckon Sky will be going full gas in the TTT to make give Froome some bonus time. Free time using all of Sky's legs instead if just Froomes. Winner winner.

Grey Hubs Posted July 2, 2018 Share Can't wait to see what Movistar can or cant do... http://www.velonews.com/2018/06/news/quintana-confident-movistar-can-conquer-sky-froome-tour_468087 Really hoping to see Quintana will at least offer entertainment on the climbs!

Jewbacca Posted July 2, 2018 Share Do you also eagerly anticipate Fast and the Furious sequels hoping the new one will be better than the last disappointment? Sorry, replying the GreyHubs re Nairo and Movistar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanroyal Posted July 2, 2018 Share Well I'm glad the whole Froome drama is over....it's all racing now...clean or not...bring it on guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Hubs Posted July 2, 2018 Share Do you also eagerly anticipate Fast and the Furious sequels hoping the new one will be better than the last disappointment? Sorry, replying the GreyHubs re Nairo and MovistarAs you can tell, I don't know much about road racing and TDF, hence the reason I like Froome But this year, I'm voting for the underdogs - Nairo/Movistar. If nothing else, for a more competitive race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shova1 Posted July 2, 2018 Share With CF being cleared by UCI it's GAME ON! Knowing that CF's legs will probably really feel the Giro going into week three (assuming he is in the running at that stage), I'm looking forward to seeing the various team strategies including Sky's from the outset..... Any thoughts/predictions for week one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, for a more competitive race! I would not be unhappy if Froome had some issue and Thomas or Bernal were given free reign to ride to win!

eddy Posted July 2, 2018 Share I wonder if Chris will shake hands with him on the podium.... I would if I were him; I'd be the better man. BUT only after properly missing the sample bottle and soaking everything form the wrist forwards and forgetting to wash it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
