Stage 20: Chris Froome makes it seem like he was going to win all along

July 22, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The Tour de France is typically won on climbs and in time trials. This year the climbing was pretty much a draw and Chris Froome won the time trials. Okay, Froome didn’t actually win either…

Stage 18: Warren Barguil really is King of the Mountains

July 20, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The top three riders in this year’s Tour de France refused to be separated by mountains. Technically, Rigoberto Uran finished two seconds behind Romain Bardet and Chris Froome atop the Izoard, but that was just…

Froome and Aru play pass the yellow jersey | Second Rest Day Wrap

July 16, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The Rest Day Wrap is an attempt to give an overview of where things stand in the Tour de France. It focuses on the general classification – which is the overall race – rather than…

Stage 14: Fabio Aru learns that the peloton is long

July 15, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

As cocky finishes go, Michael Matthews’ 50m long no-handed roll to the line was up there. Greg Van Avermaet couldn’t catch him even when he stopped pedalling – although the ghost of Peter Sagan had…

Stage 12: Everyone beats Chris Froome

July 13, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

Okay, not everybody, but it was an uncharacteristically limp performance from a man who so rarely relinquishes the yellow jersey midway through the race. His team were strong. Very strong. Unrivalled budget strong. But then…

Chris Froome still intact | First Rest Day Wrap

July 10, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The Rest Day Wrap is my attempt to give an overview of where things stand in the Tour de France. It’s less about stage wins and focuses instead on the general classification, which is the…

A good Vuelta for Froome’s reputation but a better one for Quintana’s

September 12, 2016 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

For a race so profoundly sprint-unfriendly, the final stage seems bizarre – almost irrelevant. Supposedly a reward for sprinters who’ve lasted the course, the truth is that few turned up in the first place, so…

Nairo Quintana not inclined to budge from race lead

September 10, 2016 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

In the end, the task of gaining over a minute on Nairo Quintana on a mountain stage proved as impossible as might realistically have been expected. If the Colombian has a weakness, it is not…

Chris Froome minces his rivals in the time trial

September 10, 2016 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

He minced everyone, in fact; minced them as if he had some sort of grinder hooked up to his oval chain ring and a hunger for mince that could not be sated. Only Movistar’s time…

Chris Froome looks on his last legs

September 8, 2016 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

Maybe it’s all that running he did earlier in the season – efforts which have reportedly earned him an invite to take part in a 10km run in Barcelona. The final climb of stage 17…
