Was positively surprised by the netherlanders. In the past it always felt as if Rabobank underperformed but todays performance by Mollema and ten Dam was impressive. | ||

And how can it be that Froome was in no way an extreme talent during his amateur carreer, is now the best rider in the tour? Everyone seems to go three times as fast when they join Sky. Yeh I definitely believe they're doped but you never know I guess. | ||

To be fair not all of them go faster when joining Sky, just a couple of them. Froome just rode the 3rd fast time on Ax 3-Domaines, putting himself among the likes of Armstrong and Ullrich. | ||

If we believe hard enough they were honourable and competed in the spirit of competition. ;_; | ||

Then they turn around and put in the most questionable performance I have seen in a bike race in quite a while. I mean, maybe Froome is just that much better than everyone. Seems unlikely, but i can get behind that I guess. But now here is Richie fucking Porte, a guy who before joining SKY was nothing more than a solid domestique better known for time trialing rather than climbing. You want me to believe that Porte is now the second best climber in the tour de france? Out climbing the top climbers like quintana, contador, rolland, pinot, etc. I just don't know, I find it pretty discouraging. Like all signs over the last few years were good then to see this just destroys my illusion. idk, i will wait to the end of the tour to decide for sure what I feel about it. My bullshit detector is most definitely pinging at the moment, though. | ||
