Default Quintana will never will a grand tour


The little guy can climb but he's out of his element in individual
time trials. There the lightweight and lower wattage works to
his disadvantage. He's one-dimensional and we all know how
one-dimensional sprinters and climbers are yellow jersey
wannabes.

It generally boils down to one man (Froome in this Tour) who
excels at climbing AND individual time trials. Froome knew
going into today's mountain stage that he didn't need to cross
the finish line first. He could have dominated but why bother?
He let a lesser rider get some kudos.

I still say, one-dimensional riders are sideshow riders.

Do you know why Chris Froome's ears are so big?

It's because Wiggo used to hold Froome's ears while Chris was giving him a blow job.

Really? I thought it was whoever has the best drugs program. Have they
changed it? Why wasn't I informed?!

Hinault was exceptional both in the mountains and time trials.
As was Lemond. Merckx, Anquetil, and Coppi followed the same
script, and although all three doped there is no evidence their
doping program was superior to their competitors' doping
programs.

Armstrong was a great climber and time trialist. All those years
that everyone thought he had some super secret dope? Well, we
learned from the investigation that he was taking the same dope
that everyone else was taking.

In 1958 Charly ****ing Gaul won the Tour by winning in the
mountains and all three time trials that year. Charly ****ing
Gaul.

No doubt the Froomster is on the ****. But there is no evidence
yet that his **** is any different that anyone other rider's
****.
