It's such an easy mistake to make.... I do it all the time, just last week I posted a picture on Facebook in Devon and I labelled it Glasgow, as you do, along with other easy mistakes like not answering the doorbell.... twitter.com

Chrisull Jun 2018 9:30am, 8 Jun 2018 12,864 posts	0 Chrisull No Froome fan, but on this occasion his exploits were those of a mere mortal. Dumoulin made some big mistakes (waiting for Pinot's teammate for a minute) which cost him the Giro. He lost by 40 seconds. His ascent of the final climb was slower than Dumoulin's and nowhere near the fastest of the day, Carapaz. His ascent of all the climbs wasn't particularly fast compared to previous years. He made the majority of his time on the descents in his weird aero-dynamic tuck. Pinot as we know hates descending, Dumoulin stuck with Pinot rather than break out on his own. If Froome had been racing Nibali, Contador, Quintana, he would have lost. Yates, Pinot and Dumoulin were inexperienced opposition, but it was still a brilliant and exciting attack. You could argue with strong evidence that he shouldn't even have been in the race, but that is a different story.

K5 Gus Jul 2018 12:56pm, 4 Jul 2018 2,631 posts	0 K5 Gus Sky have released lots of info from Froome at the Giro - planning, nutrition, power data, etc, etc bbc.co.uk The final sentence is perhaps most true "People who believe in Froome will seize it as evidence that he's completely credible. People who disbelieve in Froome will point to the information we don't have"
Chrisull Jul 2018 2:09pm, 4 Jul 2018 12,974 posts	0 Chrisull The last sentence from Whittle - the author of "bad blood" who is a doubter himself, they've spun his words (at the article top) to make it sound more like someone doesn't doubt. Apart from that though, excellent article. "This doesn't prove anything in terms of propriety or implausibility either. It contributes to our wealth of knowledge. "
