I was listening to this live this afternoon and great to hear it again! Hilarious and very enlightening! After the vid ends Pete went on to say he's worried Cav will be angry with him for saying this and then he reads out a text his wife has just sent him saying Cav will kill him he hears this! :) Brilliant stuff ITV4! Great coverage from Ned and the gang!
Respect to Froome. Shows how passionate and what a winner he is beneath the taciturn exterior. The guys won 6 Grand Tours, he's eclipsed every other British cyclist imo.
Lucas Maximus At what point did I talk about Nibali’s incredible “passion” or how he was “being a winner” in my post? Only one of us glorified an action we’d condemn if a rider, we didn’t root for, committed. I’d assume such actions would be beneath a noble 6 time grand tour winner such as Chris Froome.
@@team_todd I'm haven't got a problem with what Froome did, fair play to him, Nibali was out of order. To me taking no bullshit like that comes as part of the package of being a winner - he didn't instigate it. British cycling has been lucky to have him.
You don't have to dig too hard to find that Sagan is NOT a popular rider in the peloton. He only gets away with his reckless riding because he's such a successful rider.
It looks like his days of popularity might be ending, Le Tour coverage over the years has been good to him but they seem to be turning on him somewhat.
Only in cycling can an 'opponent' supposedly enter your bus (ie dressing room) and rough up your star. He should have left that bus limping and with a few bruises for his trouble.
Vince Fava This story, by all accounts, has been grossly exaggerated over time. Its become folk lore. Everyone on the bus said the confrontation was verbal and ended quickly when video footage showed the real cause of the crash. I sincerely doubt a team let’s the defending champion get assaulted by a rival and just continues to hydrate post stage in the bus.
"He should have left that bus limping and with a few bruises" Why should he, he went to have a discussion with someone. He had the discussion, he left the bus, where or why would he get bruised?
Didn't this start when Nibali mistook Froome for toppling onto him mid climb? Then wrongly he threw the bottle at Chris Yeah, don't be expecting to get away with that. That incident & Nibali's Vuelta draughting aren't his finest hours.
It was the same Tour when Kennaugh decided to interrupt and verbally abuse ex-pro Michael Rasmussen, when Rasmussen was doing an interview as a sports journalist.
Yeh i remember hearing about that how bizarre of him to do that seems a weird move and I remember thomas making some remarks about rasmussen,can only assume rasmussen was questioning team sky's bullshit and they didn't like it one jot lol
@@lalame92 Certainly some of the same mechanisms at play. Lance was bombarded with questions from especially the French press during his winning years, and had a way of attacking them back. Team Sky has generally been more diplomatic, but it probably triggered something dark within Kennaugh, when Rasmussen was simply giving his opinion. Ofcourse this sort of behavior from Kennaugh (and Froome also) is not acceptable from a human perspective, but you can kinda relate to it as all humans are flawed.
Yep, Rasmussen was a known cheat who admitted to being a drug cheat for 12 years, accusing Geraint who has never been implicated in anything. G would be well within in his rights to knock him out.
All I remember is Nibali throwing a water bottle at Froome and Froome throwing a hissy fit because Nibali went stage hunting while he was out of the GC picture.
It was actually at the end of stage 6 to Le Havre, not stage 8 to Mur de Bretagne. Nibs actually accused Froome of starting the crash that took Tony Martin out when it was Martin himself who caused it. So Froome went over to the Astana bus to set the record straight
Salvatore Gravano man, you’re an idiot. In 2015, Nibali was the defending champion of the Tour. In 2013 he didn’t race the tour but was the only person to beat Froome at a major one week race at Tirreno. He wasn’t afraid of Froome and had no ego that he didn’t deserve to have. He was probably angry at Froome for nearly crashing him, I remember something about that.
Or maybe they were talking about when Froome got kicked out of the Giro for holding onto a motorbike. That was back when he was crap before the overnight transformation.

Aw man this is exactly the kind of stories I wanna hear hahahaha
Now I get why Nibali attacked Froome in the Stage 19 of the 2015 Tour de France when he had a mechanical 😂
Those are great stories. Please do some more!

Seven, don't forget that Vuelta way back.
Lucas Maximus storming a team bus and grabbing a rival rider by the throat, yeah, what a passionate hero.
@Todd King
Yeah you're right, whereas throwing a bottle at a rival is super classy 👍

Vince Fava in hockey he would’ve been dead 😈
@@LaughingSaint66 100%
@Leona Bastet Froomey didn't throw a bidon, he entered the team bus and started fighting. (Not many hockey players would shrug that off tbh.)

I think you are right. Is this the same incident that Tony Martin broke his arm or collarbone while in yellow?
you mean his holding onto to a car. nibali is a punk.
Dont forget that Froome was expelled from.Giro d'Italia 2010 for taking a tow from a motorbike...

BULLSHIT STORY FROOME WOULD HAVE BEATEN TO WITH IN A INCH OF HIS LIFE THEY HAD WORDS ONLY AT THE DOOR
So what beef did Nibali have with Froome when resulted in a bottle being thrown?
Probably tired of losing Grand Tour titles...
@Salvatore Gravano to be fair wiggins was worse than froome in 2012
It was actually at the end of stage 6 to Le Havre, not stage 8 to Mur de Bretagne. Nibs actually accused Froome of starting the crash that took Tony Martin out when it was Martin himself who caused it. So Froome went over to the Astana bus to set the record straight

what a load of rubbish
roid rage
Cavendish messed up. He crashed himself. A crime Sagan got disqualified.
First on itv😂
and?
Maybe Froome mentioned Nibali having to catch a ride hanging onto a team car... Dirty cheat.
Or maybe they were talking about when Froome got kicked out of the Giro for holding onto a motorbike. That was back when he was crap before the overnight transformation.
What are you talking about?
Mmm salbutamol
