    For those who've just turned on the TdF coverage, Froomedog is going uphill. Yes, he is climbing, that is not a flat road.

    Climbing in the TT position like that is so incredibly hard, he's making it look effortless. Very impressive.

    WTF

    Has he lost a bet with Fran?

    Do you think he uses a Q-tip in the evening to clean out the gunk in his chin? :lol:

    He's going to supplant TV Tommy as the French housewife's favourite if he keeps this up.

    Maybe he like me is just sick of all the negative doping chat and is trying to change the narrative to what an impressive bike rider Froome is?

    This sort of course probably suits him a lot better than a flatter one would.

    Millar is a pure sky fanboi and a Froome lover. I bet he uses a box of tissues everynight thinking of Froome.

    How is this different from you blithering on about how good Contador looks on a bike?

    Oh come on - that's easy - one is a world authority in professional bike racing and knows far more than anyone on this forum




    and the other one is a Scottish ex-doper !!!

    It's not a traditional TT is it?

    That's a superb time from Kwiatkowski!

    Can't see Quintana matching that on the descents!

    Is Contador on a Tarmac or a Venge?

    Kwiatkowski into 2nd!

    Kelly talking rubbish about him lacking TT qualities. Errrr he was 5th in the Mont-Saint Michel TT and he can climb.

    Oh look Contador is 20 seconds up on Froome. Where does that leave us on the doping equation I wonder...?

    First check: Contador then Froome at 2secs
    Second check: Contador then Kreuziger at 8secs, then Froome at 20secs

    I would expect Froome to lose more time all else being equal.
    Contador is the Greatest
