Good point!themidge wrote:Chris Boardman said on the ITV highlights that Thomas' talk of Froome still being leader is probably a sort of mental defence against everyone going 'can you do it?' 'Is this the year?' etc, etc, and that Thomas certainly isn't riding like he's talking.
I bet that is part of it and I also think that Thomas is still not quite sure deep down that he can pull it off. It will be interesting if Froome doesn't take any time from him and then it comes down to the time trial.
As long as the spectators only boo then it is ok for me. More is then not ok as it usually endanger the safety of the riders or change the outcome of the race etc....themidge wrote: (...)
Re: the particularly 'vocal' fans, I get that they don't like Sky, but booing is just classless and childish. They are an embarrassment to their more respectful peers on the mountain.
By the way, the mayor of Huez banned the sale of alcohol for today
