What?
>Tour de France

Explain yourself frogs
Is Contador still a contender :^)
I'm conflicted lads. I think Froome is a great champion, Sky a well oiled winning machine and that they deserve their success but they make the Tour boring because we all know who will be first in Paris.
A part of me wants Froome to be taken out of the race so it can be fun again but that would be kinda unfair to him.

>>69427486
One of my fav films
>>69427480
>The Co-Princes of Andorra are the two rulers of the Principality of Andorra, a landlocked microstate lying in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. Founded in 1278 through a treaty between the Bishop of Urgell and the French Count of Foix, this unique diarchical arrangement has persisted through medieval times to the present day. Currently, the Bishop of Urgell (Joan Enric Vives Sicília) and the President of France (François Hollande) serve as Andorra's Co-Princes, following the transfer of the Count of Foix's claims to the Crown of France and, thence, to the President of the French Republic.
>The Andorran principality has the unique distinction of being ruled by two sovereigns, one of whom (the French president) is the only monarch in the world to be elected by common citizens—though not by the citizens of Andorra, but rather those of France. The French president is also the only person to be a monarch and the head of state of a republic at the same time.

The peloton is just about to swallow Can'tador tbqh
Movistar with a lot of guys in the front
Today is definitely the day they have planned to attack for the Maillot Jaune
Makes sense, it's a great stage for Quintana, especially with that finish.

Based Contador. Instead of just dropping out of the GC to hunt for stages, he blows himself and the race to pieces first.
where is quintana, in the sky-rapetrain group?
>implying pinot is not gonna drop next climb, while majka will gather points on the next 3 climbs

Spooky will follow him all day, and his PEDs will kick in on final climb
Quads for Based Bauke Mollema winning the stage
Why are you not using asymmetric chain rings tdf?
>>69427778
You tried.
>>69427778

>>69427778
Is Mollema physically capable of attacking?
>>69427778
>>69427769
Skelly is 9/4
Might bet on both of them. Still make a nice profit assuming someone sneaky doesn't win
>>69427820
can you do an each way bet for top 5 or something?
thatd be ideal

Meant Osymetric, fucking autocorrect.
It's designed so that you give the leg muscles work to do where they are at their strongest and less work to do where they are weak.
So far gains have been marginal to negligible probably mostly placebo but Froome and Wiggo use and rape on them.
>>69427883
They also look sick and impress people at the biker cafe's.
