TTT world champs snatching up the Australian TT champ, it is a nice fit. I like BMC, Porte is a cool character to add to their roster and I like it.
Porte is a great rider and just a shame he was so much in the shadows at Sky in GT's... Until today!
That's a story out of nothing.
When did the data get grabbed? Who grabbed it? What data did they get a hold of? Without knowing any of that sort of info the Guardian cannot make any assumptions or story out of this, yet they have! Morons.
<snip>the tripe the Guardian writes.....
Tripe in the Guardian? Whatever next!
Agreed the data is purely 'numbers from somewhere'. Without it being verified we don't know if it's even his, or even if it's from 2013. It could be Armstrongs data from 2009 doctored to be Froomes
Sky's response was quick and very strong handed, but they generally always are. I imagine, that's not just Sky cyclings legal team behind it.
Wikipedia and stuff has Froome at 71kg. I don't think he weighs anywhere near 11 stone, no way.
As mentioned his ideal weight for the Tour is 67kg. Good article from him in Procycling earlier this year I can dig out if anyone wants me to scan? Has that info in along with his training routines and decisions about form and what to ride. Even a section about him and Contador.
He not like the speed?
Tomorrow might not be his day then?
He's tall, thin and light! I imagine any side winds and he's all over the road! You need weight for descending!
Edit: Can't wait to watch the highlights later after seeing all your responses here!
