Trouble in paradise? In fighting could derail Sky.

If you want loyalty, get a Froome … a quality I value… although being taken advantage of by others!

See Mick Rogers and Richie Porte for examples of genuine, selfless effort and true professionalism.

I like these two ones as well. I wonder why she had to clarify herself. :lol:

I think anyone would be frustrated. Out of all the riders in the tour Froome looks the best and he is also powering home Wiggins which is a bit suss. But anyway Sky will have to crack soon there is no way they can do this for the whole tour. It's disappointing Cadel has lost so much time.

Not sure they will crack they have some brilliant riders, Rogers could be a main man if he had a team set around him and it looks like Froome could be to.

Today is a perfect day for Cadel to attack 2 steep climbs and then the rest of the stage is more or less a decent with a hill finish.

I don't see how it's possible to do that for 3 weeks. They have gone so hard, it would be remarkable for them to do this for the whole tour.

Feel sorry for Froome tbh. If not for Wiggins he would probably be in the yellow jersey. He looks crazy strong, the way he just accelerated away from Wiggins so effortlessly last night was insane.

Yeah they've done so much work these first 2 weeks, especially Rogers and Porte, will be interesting to see if they can handle it through the Pyrenees.

If Wigan's was on any other team, I don't think he would last. But this years tour has favored him quite heavily with the ITT's.

This.


Do you guys realise there is a free APP that just streams the live feed? It's one of the best APP's going around for the past few years. It's SBS' I'm sure, just watching it now, it's about 5 seconds delayed. If you've got wireless at home you can watch it in bed and keep the girlfriend awake.

He reminds me of Butters from South Park.

They must of changed Cadel's formula, but if they don't give him the juice soon, it'll be over for BMC.

He was hobbling after yesterday's leg, I'd say he's just dropped off the pace.
