TdF Stage 17 – No Miracle Comebacks [Spoilers]

Did somebody on ITV4 comment on his mountain biking pedigree?

Interviewed on French telly just a few minutes ago, he said he was well within his capabilities coming into the corner when the front washed out.

**** brilliant!Take that Bertie you ****!

😆

Fantastic ride, thought he had to take it too easy on the descent with the rain and everything to win it, but he really pulled it back. Apparently he didn’t even try that hard…

Yet again an astounding, outstanding ride by Froome. I wanna know where I can get some of that Bilharzia I’ve heard he’s on.

Watch out for the girl in the red bikini on the highlights 😉

Simply superb riding from Froome so far this year. Nobody has any answer for him at all. I’m also a little bit pleased to see Andy Schleck in 15th today. For a man who can’t descend (or even ride a bike according to some) that was a solid performance. I guess he will still be at trek in 2014 then

Time check on bikini girl? 😉

Another good stage today, tomorrow is bound to be awesome, hope it doesn’t rain though!

Gutted to see Péraud crash after what was clearly a very heroic ride.

Peraud’s crash onto an already broken collar bone turned my stomach over. :o(

Ive broken a couple of bones in crashes and watching that, knowing he already had a fracture, nearly brought my dinner up 😯 (bit like Jorge Lorenzo in motogp, see other thread).

To sum it up LeMond chose the right bike and Fignon chose the wrong one.

This tour gets better and better.

It’s not about the bike, apparently. 😉
