Re: Re: Descend finishes in this year Vuelta ended up being quite succesful so i won't be shocked if in another editions there will be let's say one descend finish replacing eventual murito finish. There might be some propability of a descend finish similar to Navacerrada one close to or on...

Let's try to be a fortune teller. Post from the Alberto Contador thread in PRR subforum from 24.08.2015:

Wait a sec. 35 years... a woman... positive for THC... REALLY!? I have though that women are smarter than men. Maybe being high does help enhancing your performances *couch* Pantani *couch* Ricco. Ontherwise i feel that this lady has some issues. 35 is not 18, or maybe I'm too conservative.

Interesting thread. I'll risk and write that no one of the guys in poll will win a GT. My opinion will propably bust in at last couple of years but if such scenario would happen, then i can allways requote this post all over the Internet and be like Nostradamus. :cool:

I've encountered a pretty interesting case some time ago - TdF '79. Hinault and Joop were so flying, that they flew away on the Paris stage from the entire peleton to finish over 2min ahead. Zoetemelk was later busted for dope and got penalized 10min. Still he ended up being 2nd in GC...

Re: Re: Look out. It is quite a problem. I'm checking France in streetview for more than a year and i've found a lot of flaws in their engineering idea. In their cities roads are often so narrow that a truck won't fit. That's fine, as the pre-XVIIIc. western architecture was very squeezed and...

I have nothing to say here. Just congratiulations for his first podium in his career. I hope it's not the last one and that one day he will win a GT. propably Vuelta because it seems to suit his style and weather. Just hope, that he'll maybe manage to up his game in mountains a lil' bit. Of...

G>V>T Giro. I had more heart attacks in span of those 3 weeks than ever. Even more than Giro '08 (cheering for Contador) or Giro '10 (cheering first for Evans, then Arroyo). On Sestriere and Mortirolo stages I was almost rage-quitting. Just too much tension for my health. Besides, breakaway win...

Faustini indeed was 7th in '96 Giro. Some good names are behind him: Buenahora, Berzin, Robin, Zberg, Lanfranchi, Poulnikov.... http://bikeraceinfo.com/giro/giro1996.html I remember Vuelta '11. I had Cobo in my top 10 in I think 8-10 place or someting like that. The same was with Hesjedal some...

I missed the yesterday stage. I could watch it from replays but i don't want to. I don't even know how he looks like and i'm watching international cycling from TdF 2004. I really don't wanna know how he looks like. Haimaru-sensei decided that he did his job and now he retired to his deserved...

Re: Re: I don't have that much knowledge of the era, as i wasn't even born at the time, that's why I need to rely on the stage results. I hope i will be scholled and corrected. In this era guys like Didi Thurau, Sean Kelly, Freddy Maertens, F. Moser or Phil Anderson did top 10 TdF. Judging from...

Re: Re: That was a very clinical answer. Hint: when did Pantani won TdF?

Re: Re: I don't care about nationality or riding style of Iban Mayo. I do care about his personality and being a role model (off the bike) for an aspiring, talented cyclists of next generations. In my eyes Iban Mayo is as good role model as Riccardo Ricco, that's why I made the comparision. If...

Sagan? Rly? Did Haimaru-sensei cross the line first? Just a random joke, congrats to him of course. After all those 2nd places it must be relieving for him.

Re: It's 2015; 3 years to first breakthrough ;)
