An ass.

There was a lot less said about Nibali doping last year when he was much more dominant than Froome has been so far this year. Froome is probably afraid of his shit to attack now.

Exactly exactly right.

I think weā€™ll know conclusively this weekend if heā€™s doping.

If he attacks on Saturday up Alpe dā€™Huez then heā€™s clearly cheating.
If he doesnā€™t attack then heā€™s obviously afraid of exposing himself to further scrutiny so heā€™s clearly cheating.

He is guilty in the court of public opinion. But Nibali got a much easier ride off the media last year.

Probably. But the English speaking media werenā€™t as interested in him either as a success story or as a fraud. The event went under the radar a bit last year. Just like dopers not called Armstrong didnā€™t get the same attention 10 years ago either.

The funny thing is, even if what your saying is completely true. This doping cloak and dagger stuff is probably making cycling more entertaining in a fucked up kind of way

People donā€™t like Froome. People donā€™t like his mot. People donā€™t like his style of riding. People donā€™t like the way he acts as a sportsman. People donā€™t like his ā€œthey didnā€™t wake me upā€ missed dope test story. People donā€™t like that he arrives to the top of horrendous MTFs sprinting down his rivalsā€™ attacks while remaining seated, something never seen before. People donā€™t like his Classics/track rider team mate pulling him up mountains and even then making a show of some of the worldā€™s best climbers who have been banned or linked to doping. People donā€™t like Brailsford, his attitude and Skyā€™s continual unabashed breaking of rules they set themselves.

I think thatā€™s why Froome gets more attention than Nibali did last year.

His a white South African as well isnā€™t he, that could never bode well for a fella.

Add BSkyB into the mix and you can understand the general dislike.

He didnā€™t look well in that interview the other night anyway.

He lookā€™s a bit like your avatar actually.

He looks tired now. His skin is starting to go, developing spots and whatnot. He is close to the edge I think. Just depends on whether any of the others have the legs to test him.

Nibali has taken his vitamins today.

Hon Quintana

Pump those legs

Quintana gains 30 seconds on Froome.

2:40 now the gap.

Valverde attacks

Quintana attacks

I missed Quintanaā€™s move. Did some of the Sky riders crack?
