Legend. Thanks and goodbye.

Fair play to Contador. He's finished the race incredibly strongly, and that was a super ride today. Hats off to Froome as well for doing something that's incredibly rare. It's a feat that I'm not sure is appreciated amongst the British public, which is a shame.

I think its appreciated by cycling fans, but people just can't buy into or warm to Froome. Froome has absolutely no relationship with Britain. Born in Kenya and never lived in the uk.

He's not paid a single penny into the British tax payers pocket

I'd love Everton to have a bit of their dull grinding'ness to be honest.

Success in its coldest form does not interest me, dave brailsfords sky are don revies leads, there's more to life than six things that drive bellends like them, at least they are in sport causing minimal harm to the world, if such characters had entered the business world that probably be polluting school drinking water to save a buck

Sky super motored up yesterday! must be nice to be able to have a little chat with each other on the steepest bends

and another... look at the speed of Froome's legs

Must say I can't be bothered to look into motors, but when GCN tested some out, they said they simply don't work at high cadences. <tinfoil>They are probably paid Sky shills though</tinfoil>.

It is funny how he chooses not to engage the motor when he's losing though, or that a man that has been well off the pace for the past two years suddenly starts riding like he did in his glory days without a second glance from anyone.

You mean a man who has been a star in all age groups, shown a gradual progression, won every GT multiple times? Contador as he's got older struggles with the long, gradual climbs in the tour. Still great on shorter, steeper climbs.

How anyone can look at the videos and not find them laughable is beyond me! Unless your a complete sky apologist

They scan for motors after each stage, no?

Yes, they also test for drugs, no?

Mechanical doping? Seriously

It's a bit easier to take a bike apart to see if a motor is inside than it is to find drugs with a pretty short 'glow' period.

Yes? It's already been busted in women's cycling
