Froome is clearly on drugs I am a afraid.

3.25 difference over your contender after effectively 2 stages (the one mountain stage + short TT today).

Give me a break :rolleyes: ...not even during the Armstrong era did we see such dominance so early on.

Most of them are juiced up. Jan Ulrich said he took what was available to everyone else. Doesn't make it right but doping is in the, :erm:, blood of le Dope de France.

Stage 20
Nairo Quintana has achieved a massive coup in stage 20. He has won the stage to Annecy Semnoz, moved up to second overall, and has added to the polka-dot jersey to his collection of prizes!

What a win for Quintana!

Chris Froome: the long ride from Kenya to the Champs-Élysées

We should be supporting Froome, apparently !?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/jul/19/chris-froome-kenyan-tour-de-france

British cyclist on cusp of winning Tour de France has come a long way since his days riding with the Safari Simbas in Africa

Born in Kenya, Froome was educated in South Africa from the age of 14. He started mountain biking to get out of the house. Initially he rode with a group called the Safari Simbas, run by a dreadlocked Kenyan called David Kinjah, to whom Froome still donates spare kit.
