andyjsg Posted July 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2018 Don't think they are doping or at least not in the extreme EPO sense, more just pushing the boundaries of what you can do (vitamin D is one that is abused in most sports but not on ban list). Been an interesting tour so far, but cant see any point to the 2 upcoming sprint stages as its err Sagan and err Demare maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Would love to see G win this. Hope he doesn't run out of gas in the pyrenees. Big Tom close and a threat, but the smart money still on Froome Dog IMO. Watch on ITV4. More polished and better insights. I'm a big fan of David Millar too. I do like Carlton Kirby on Eurosport, but you can see that ITV put more resource into their coverage. Bernal looks like a TDF winner in a couple of years.

HanoiVillan Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Supporting TomDum, on the basis I think there's just less chance he's doping, but also he just doesn't ride for Sky. Froome will inevitably win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think i’d like to see Froome win number 5 (and the Giro / tour double) then hand the reigns over to the younger riders next year. On the assumption he is not on the gear* it would be a remarkable achievement for the record books. *we are not going to know but I tend to be of the mind that Sky are pushing the rules to the limit with all the legal supplements without actually undertaking a doping program. Their team budget goes the rest of the way to ensure their dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted July 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well I think Froome's 4 grand tours in a row came to bite him in the butt yesterday although he hasn't exactly looked spectacular for the whole race. Think G will be okay, 2 mins is a decent gap on Tom D even with a time trial ahead. Froome's bad day continued on the way back to the bus, he was dragged off of his bike by a policeman who thought he was a fan - this was Froomey's response: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I like the way he says it in a French accent to help the listener. Reminds me of Shteev McLaren's dutch accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
