    Conversely Froome's favorite race is La Vuelta. But it definitely had a reputation of being an exclusively Spanish race until the late 2000's. It's really grown as a GT since then and now is generally regarded as being the most organised. It's good to see fans actually respecting the riders and...

    Porte doesn't seem to have a winner's mentality. Like when he lost the Dauphine in 2017, he couldn't handle the pressure of being the race leader as he was expecting friends (Froome) to actually ride for him when there not even in the same team. Froome and Contador are the only 2 riders of the...

    Don't know why people gave him that big of a chance. Froome is the best TT in the world at the end of a GT.

    I was very suprised last year to learn Cadel Evans finished 10th at the 2017 Taiwan KOM Challenge a mere 6 minutes behind Phil Gaimon. Who knows, maybe Cadel was clean after all.

    Nothing wrong with abit of banter, fair enough as no outcome had been decided. The Spanish and Italians love Froome though as doping is a part of there culture. They only want to see people go as fast possible up the mountains, there all about the racing.

    Sky operate deep into the grey zone. All pro teams operate somewhere within the grey zone (Astana red zone afew years ago), Sky and a couple of other teams are more into the dark side of the grey than others. I believe they legally dope, that is they do whatever is possible to gain an advantage...

    All other dopers are heroes. Pantani and Contador are revered sporting figures, like national heroes in there home countries and respected worldwide. The only doper who really had some backlash against him was Armstrong, even still most people believe he should keep his tour wins, the only...

    Tour de France 2018

    They said it's impossible to do the Giro/Tour double without doping. They say only Froome and Sky dope. There is another guy, who finished a mere 46 seconds behind Froome at the Giro. He went solo on Stage 11, in-fact he drops Valverde who had been paced by a teammate. Everyone said he would...

    Tour de France 2018

    I think this is the real reason the ASO tried to stop Froome from coming to the Tour. Few nights ago on the post coverage one of the SBS special commentators (who trained with Thomas + Froome recently) mentioned that there was fairly credible threats levelled at Froome. Team Sky have invested in...

    Your right, there should be heads rolling at MTS, I too find it hard to believe why riders are doing well then suddenly losing massive amounts of time on stages. Doesn't make much sense. No illnesses, no bad fortunes the riders are just dropping.

    Adam Yates was way over hyped because of his brothers performance at the Giro. His far from being a serious GC prospect.
