but yeah it's frustrating when a rider and team throw down unnatural climbs.

I think we all have to consider that he's just making ish up about the TDF and nobody here is going to ever check him on it. A long troll, if you will.Wait- Anth hasn't just been joking about loving cycling and the TDF this whole time? I thought this was just his version of Willy's "I'm Jewish" thing.
So who's going to just take Phillips on his own?
They also want Cueto. Perfect solution. I just don't see the Royals taking that on for Phillips. I mean I hope they do but dang that's a lot for a marginal upgrade.The Yankees could. Their 2b situation is dreadful.
Caught bits and pieces yesterday. At the Giro, Astana looked dominant, with a deep roster of climbers controlling mountain stages—only Contador was at their level. But so far at the Tour, with a different group of riders, they’ve looked off that pace. When Nibali lost 10 seconds on the Mur-de-Bretagne finish, it was notable that he had no teammates with him, despite a core group of four solid climbers—Tanel Kangert, Lieuwe Westra, Michele Scarponi, and Jakob Fuglsang—who were brought to the Tour expressly to help Nibali on climbs.
Who knows what TF is going to happen though. Sky looks well-positioned for that. Froome has been the strongest of the GC riders on the short uphill finishes we’ve seen so far. And the four riders who finished with him were his key climbing support: Geraint Thomas, Wout Poels, Richie Porte, and Nicolas Roche. Similarly, Movistar has a strong roster of climbers and is the only team with two potential podium contenders high in the standings.
Lots of racing left, it's anyone's race at this point. Pretty much all the favorites still in contention. As the old saying goes, you don’t win the Tour de France in the first week, but you can lose it lol (and it's true).
Astros have an excellent farm system, but they have Altuve at 2B. I'd love to see Cueto go there and net AJ Reed back in return.They also want Cueto. Perfect solution. I just don't see the Royals taking that on for Phillips. I mean I hope they do but dang that's a lot for a marginal upgrade.
You're just not diverse.I hate sports, IMO.

Huh? I didn't care about cycling until 4-5 years ago. Before I thought he had never been busted and I thought they tested pretty stiffly. Come to find out both weren't true. Got me mistaken with someone.If I had a dollar for every time you 3 said lance was the most-tested athlete in history and never failed a test my basement would fit all your houses 1000x.
Fuglsang has been a huge disappointment, IMO.
