Froome lets rip! Goosebumps
Waving a smoke bomb in a riders face is a pretty stupid thing to do
Hope Froome can hold that pace!! Thought for a second he might have overdone it but he seems to be able to change his tempo incredibly well.
Wow, that's some ride by Froome 😯
Getting goosebumps watching this!
That reply of froome going past Quint was great !!
Quint looked back and Froome had already gone
Fighting back now though
Impressive stuff from Froome, can he hold it to the top?
So then, when is the next rest day? They'll need it after this efort.
Again!
And he's off...

Tomorrow isn't it?
I'm praying that Froome can hold this pace and that he doesn't get taken out by some moron of a spectator waving a flare or standing in the road trying to get a photo...

Tomorrow
Whe do we reckon for the stage win?
Remember when Armstrong gifted the win to Pantani up here and then regretted it saying that you should never give away a win on Ventoux? Froome doesn't need to win this but will he go for it anyway?
Is Froome cooked? Quintana doesn't look like he's broken into a sweat 😯
Realised I've literally been sat on the edge of my seat for the last ten minutes.
I'm on the rivet in sofa terms!
Great stuff innit?
In GC Froome has over 5mins on Quintana so he doesn't really need to race him as such. He needs to concentrate on getting time over Contador.
First the cricket and now this. I'm a nervous wreck!

I thought he objected as he knew Pantani was not the strongest rider that day
Did he not do it to annoy him calling him elaphantine as well in the press conference?
**** me he can ride uphill he is ripping them all a new set of legs they must know they cannot hurt him now
gap!
Go boy!!
^for sure and he'd have the measure of him in the next time trial anyway but the accolade of winning on Ventoux
😯
Bloody hell!
No gifts...
*claps*
This is how you win le Tour
Got goosebumps watching this!
Go, Froome!
go on FRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Froome dog = mega awsumz
Chapeau
he has no style but he has some speed
He can win all the mountain stages if he wants them
YA DANCER!
Awesome!!
Aaaand into the history books goes Chris Froome !! 🙂
Punching the air covered in goosebumps !
LOL at Lance Armstrong's tweet from a few moments ago:
"Hey @chrisfroome - no gifts on the Ventoux."
That prompted a few replies... 😉
Abso****inglutely brilliant!!!!!!
Wow. Some going. Chapeau. Such an ungainly looking rider as well, Froome.
Fe-rooooooooooooooooom! 🙂
Bah, Froome. Looks like the GC is done and dusted for the rest of the race, dull dull dull.
Good effort by Porte as well today , Kennaugh as well.
Va Va Froome - that is the words of my 6 year old who said he looked like he was on the flat
Wow great race by Sky

Shame the rest of the field is too crap to contest

No, I reckon the fight for 2nd - 5th will be pretty good to watch. 🙂
mogrim, sadly that's the case it seems. But maybe, just maybe that might open the door to some craziness on the mountains yet to come?
I've not a Froome fan, but I must admit that was actually impressive.
Great to see the yellow jersey attack with style again (even if the style is Paula Radcliffe on a bike).
Too many years of what seems like watching riders calculating the minimum effort required to defend it.

Yeah, not saying it wasn't impressive - but I'd rather have been impressed by one of the other guys, Mollema or Contador. 4 minutes looks pretty much unbeatable.
