Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

He's been fantastic. Total superstar. Superb rider. It might have been different if Contador hadn't been knackered, or if Nibali hadn't been so out of shape, or if Quintana hadn't spent the first two weeks riding himself into form, but as with Nibali last year, you can only beat what's in front of you. And he did so brilliantly.

Now he's done the Tour twice, I'd love to see him have a stab at the Giro and Vuelta and become the first Brit to win all three.

Yes, you ride the race you're in. Don't think last year's crashes took away from Nibali's win, and I don't think this year's performances take away from Froome's.

Didn't he do the Vuelta in 2012 though?

Sack the pros and replace with the top ten off the cyclechat mycyclinglog table would save a fortune

Quality of miles beats quantity

Well he doesn't know the words to our national dirge... I mean anthem. ;-)

I like the Billy Connolly idea of having the Archers theme instead

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Roll on the Vuelta....

Classy speech from Froome.

Special mention for the horrible yellow trousers on the Eurosport presenter. Nothing PP ever say can be as bad as that, surely?

Classy speech from Froome.

"...and everyone who knows me"?

It's a bit short: tum tee tum tee tum tee tum... tum tee tum tee tum CLICK!

At least in our house

Millar's defence of Froome was really passionate.

Millar's defence of Froome was really passionate.

And he's right, really. I guess when Froome was talking about standing up for the cyclists of 2015 he means the whole doping thing, releasing data and so on he was talking about.

 

[HF2300]

Or just get rid of them altogether. Utterly unnecessary.

Absolutely

Who was the guy in the white sheet?

I just happened to switch on then and saw that, what a TWUNT!

Quality of miles beats quantity

All my miles are quality....... to me.

 

[Stonechat]

I think it is a real achievement for Froome to win, on a year almost tailormade for climbing specialists

 

[perplexed]

I didn't see the podium presentation in Paris, and everyone seems to have forgotten the most important part...

Please, please, please, can someone put my mind at rest?


Please tell me bloody Lesley Garret wasn't there...
