CASSIE1975 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I'm expecting a solid performance from G this tour. Let's see . . . He normally does and gives his all...
CASSIE1975 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Please spare a thought for Thomas.. Froome plans on riding for another 5 years. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Just imagine a few years younger or older than CF and Thomas could have been the SKY leader...wrong time at the moment.
Patchelicious Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Remember, it’s these guys careers, hoe they earn their living. They only have a certain amount of time to maximize their cycling income. Being a super dom can be much more lucrative job, for longer, than when a long shot tries to make it on his own, and fails.

Possibly why he plans on racing another 5 years..some even are fortunate enough to keep some endorsements after retirement.. think Maradona is still sponsored by Puma.

Frosty Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/tour-de-france/tour-de-france-rules-didnt-know-234411 14 Tour de France rules you probably didn’t knowThe Tour de France has its own set of rules and regulations governing the running or the event and conduct of the riders, teams and staff. Here are a selection of rules you may not know. An interesting one: The prize money non-payment for those retiring without justifiable reasons Also the sunglasses and rigid helmet at the start and finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk I will bet my carbon hoops that Froome goes to Didata in 3 years time for his Contador Trek years.
Duane_Bosch Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I will bet my carbon hoops that Froome goes to Didata in 3 years time for his Contador Trek years.I'll take that bet. My carbon hoops (Enve) with CK hubs says he won't. They are 26'' and for a dh bike.
Gen Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I will bet my carbon hoops that Froome goes to Didata in 3 years time for his Contador Trek years.He'll still be better than Meintjes so that's a safe bet[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yo-Yo Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 No Boohoo-Bouhanni for Cofidis this year. He's clearly going to go and punch something. “I am very, very disappointed,” Bouhanni told French sports newspaper L’Equipe. I am really very unhappy. “Even if I am mentally strong, it is very hard to accept [the decision]. I always give 100 per cent but mentally it’s getting harder for me.”
