    I have done the eteppe de tour twice and those mountains are brutal killers.

    One final thing you should watch some of the Armstrong years, Discovery team all driving up the climbs even the sprinters, just like Sky now !!!
    He could kittel have as did miss first and second stage result...
    And yes I went to the Tour De France 2 years ago and did watch it in mountain stage as over 4 hours wait but it was worth going to see it as once in a life time and sadly we got only just a min of breakaway and peleton as it be nice to be in Paris to see the end race...
    As be there on Friday and coming back Monday....
    You obviously a fitness gent as wow you cycle epptte de tour twice as then mountain are real killer and I commend you Lapd as truthfully I wouldn't be able to do one tour let alone a stage well maybe one stage and week rest lol....
    Yes Sky are Awesome and they seem to pull it off every year and I hope Froome win it as last year he got abuse from public and media and it jealously as he one of best rider of this generation...
    I hope you watching this year tour as I am sure best to come yet and they should show the Ladies Tour De France as I think it disrespectful to not show Ladies Tour...

    I still think Sky are on something, like Armstrong was, I climbed Alpe de hauz in 50 mins, Armstrong HAD the record at 38, it took my wife over 40 to drive it with all the hairpins.

    Hope I am wrong about Sky, but you CAN not climb those high mountains in the BIG ring.
    " Thankful for those thankful for the things I did "

    That why Froome was accused of drug taking Last year and I hope too sky aren't either as all sport should be won fairly and drug taking is big in all sport and it wrong and unfair for other...
    And you climbed the Alpe De hauz in 50 min as you should had took up career in cycling sport Lapd as you made good money and maybe you have and none of my business...
    But that amazing as I bet Armstrong wouldn't done it in 38 min only for he was on enchanted performance substance....
    I bet you like to be there cycling in Tour yourself and who would you cycle for in which team you cycle with....
    You obviously travel lot yourself and it amazing sight to see in France as mountains and just like watching tour de France and scenery....
