Vasseur is talking shite? Froome has been one of best climbers for last 2 years.

Three stages to go... can Quintana make up two and a half minutes on Contador?
No but he can beat Kreuziger. I hope not as Kreuziger on the podium would be a historic first for Czech cycling.

Possibly - More likely Contador can lose that if he gambles big and blows up.
Tomorrow may be truly epic. Again...

Will there be a French stage winner at all this Tour ?
but he also got Olympic bronze in the ITT just behind Martin.

Anyone else wonder where Contador's sudden revival of form has come from? He was dropped relatively quickly once the pace went up on AX3 and Ventoux, yet now steams the TT?
I only say this as people were very quick to point the finger at Froome over doping, yet this should be equally suspicious and treated with the same level of scrutiny. In previous days (read Armstrong days) this would be a huge red flag of a Blood Bag done on the rest day!!!
It would seem double standards not to equally question this result by Contador.

Hope Froome cracks soon!
Riding like Superman at the moment.

Revival of form? Really?
I'm giving Contador exactly the same benefit of doubt as I am giving Froome. Both clean until shown otherwise.
But there is definitely a difference between failing to respond to an attack, and riding a consistent power delivery in a TT, so I'm not seeing any inconsistency TBH.

Yes he did. He is probably top 5 TT'er and top 3 climber (top 1 climber last 2 weeks). I think Contador, J rod and Valverde are all improving as the tour goes on, and it will be harder for Sky to burn them all with the train. Tomorrow could be absolute carnage from the off.

I suspect jdtate is merely being mischievous to highlight the lack of comment from the "reasonable suspicion" brigade.
