    Basso and Modolo smacked around by protesters!

    You don't need to play the teacher here. It's a protest, yeah, and part of it is clearly wrong (the violent part). Not for the ideal behind it, which I fully agree with, but for the way it has been done. It aims at the wrong people, the rider, in the wrong way, harming them, while doing nothing...

    Basso and Modolo smacked around by protesters!

    So today somebody put nails on the road. Race organizers tried to clean it but they probably didn't manage to do it perfectly. Luca Mazzanti had an accident because of a punctured tyre during a descent: broken nose and a deep cut close to the jugular. A rider risked his life. And still people...

    I stated facts. Have no business in hating any team.

    2011 Vuelta a España Stage 20: Bilbao → Vitoria, 185km

    So to sum it up: - Froome confused the 20km banner with the intermediate sprint; - by doing so, he prompted the attack of Sastre; - Sastre managed to get the second place in the intermediate sprint; - Wiggings spinted to get 2 boni seconds. Sky: new horizons in pro cycling.

    Hopefully Bettini will give him a jersey for the World Champions.

    Best climbers in history?

    Wow what an epic win :eek: And the comment was epic too. I'm going with Bahamontes, Gaul, Coppi, Pantani, Contador, Mercks, Van Impe. And Gibo Simoni :D

    Basso and Modolo smacked around by protesters!

    How about doing something before, when the race was shaping out? How about putting some pressure on the President of the Republic for instance? You're not disrupting anything with a bunch of idiots punching the athletes or an attention who.re denying the access to his city. You should have said...

    30 left if I'm not mistaken. Leaky with 3.

    Basso and Modolo smacked around by protesters!

    This way he's not causing any inconvenience to the party leaders who organized the race, which are hopefully the ones he's trying to fight against. Instead, they're getting more and more media coverage. The only ones he's damagin are the riders, who in most cases have no fault at all.

    Basso and Modolo smacked around by protesters!

    After approving they would race through the city though, I have to imagine. Why not refusing to give his permission in the first place?

    Sky/Froome Talk Only (No Way Sky Are Cleans?)

    Not sure what you're trying to say here. I mean, look at the top ten without Cobo and Froome: WIGGINS, Bradley SKY + 1' 41'' MOLLEMA, Bauke RAB + 2' 05'' MENCHOV, Denis GEO + 3' 48'' MONFORT, Maxime LEO + 4' 13'' NIBALI, Vincenzo LIQ + 4' 31'' VAN DEN BROECK, Jurgen OLO + 4' 45''...

    Menchov as well. And most of the top twenty for that matter.
