I, too, feel we have been robbed of the great battle that was a human spider marking Contador up every climb then tootling away in the TT in the most boring manner possible.

If you honestly werent looking forward to how Contador was going to break Froome on the mountains then i just don't know what to say.

Last year we got echelons that created an upset, now we get normal weather conditions for northern france that created one. It appears that mountain stages and time trials are the boring stages these days.

I hope the Vosges will be crazy. Maybe Voeckler could do a thing

What gives you the impression Froome wouldn't have just pressed the "mongoloid powaaaaaah" button and cruised past him.

Its annoying because he was taken out 3 times by other riders. Poor positioning from Sky but still, other riders hitting you is just bad luck.

Some riders are significantly better than others at keeping themselves out of trouble in the pack. Froome doesn't seem to be a very skilled at that. Too much looking at his stem?

Anyway, bummed to see him out of his race. Was only hoping to see him lose time and be put back on his heels going into the last two weeks.

Nibali might pull something out of his arse but contador is going to accept the time losses and not risk anything.

Mollema has multiple specialists with him in Boom and Vanmarcke who could lead him through.
