    Is Froome on drugs?
    My standing used to be: if not failed a test, then clean. That's why I was the last to accept the truth about Lance, only once he spoke to Oprah.
    Froome? I don't have evidence either way, but from the litle I know, if I had to bet I would bet he' s on drugs.

    Paul Kimmage interviewed on Newstalk here in Ireland said today was "fxxxxxx sxxx", noting that Froome's times very similar to Armstrong and how well he looked at the finish compared to other cyclists. Of course that alone does not mean he has done anything wrong, and no one can possibly suggest he is tainted given the law of defamation, but I guess cycling has only itself to blame when extraordinary performances provoke suspicion rather than praise.

    Froome was good last year it just that Sir Dave had put wiggo as No 1 so the lad missed out.

    What's you bet, is Froome clean?
    Please don' tell me we busted many cheaters, including Lance, the biggest of them, and therefore cycling now got to be clean. This is what we were saying long ago. Remember 1998 and Festina?
    "But this time is different is something I simply don't buy.
    The difference between Lance, Wiggins, and Froome is that Lance was caught and pressed to confess. But to say he was dirty and others are clean, well that's just something i don' buy.
    Shame on them.

    That's the trouble with doping. Once it's happened it spoils sport forever. What Froome did today looks alot like Armstrong in 1999. He may well be clean but there's that element of doubt that takes away from the thrill of watching it.

    An amazing day's racing. Garmin had a plan from the off and it worked out well for them. Movistar joined in the fun and Sky went out the back door. Top marks for Froome for having the strength to work by himself. None of the GC riders had the legs to put him under pressure. If he can survive days like this he'll deserve to win. You can't beat a great bit of racing. It'll be no procession to Paris. What a brilliant first week it has been.
    Fitness can't be stored. It must be earned over and over, indefinitely.

    That's more like it. Sky showed they are human (and probably clean) by having a bad day. Will encourage the others to attack so could be a fun Tour. Still don't like/trust Valverde.
