Hahaha @ the whispering!!!

To be fair he's out of Tdf this year because of Basso. And last year because of Pellizotti.

Yup, of course, because he's (Alberto) simply a lot better then everybody else. If Nibbs attacked or did something differently he would be in no better position for sure. And it's a long, hard race and things happen sometimes. If not, next best thing is to be on podium. With Alberto in race it's...

So I'm probably the only one here thinking that it was a clever racing from the "second" group. Alberto is clearly above everyone in the mountains and will be above everyone in the TT, so why kill yourself trying to look like a hero folowing him and than blow your chances for good GC completly...

4 doopie, avoriaz - saganwtf :) , ingsve, DT and others explained it I think, so no need to adding to it, maybe just one thing - it's always about ideal x real world - Slovakia is a small country (from cycl. point of view), Velits family is on top of the pyramide there, WC in Australia is an...

Top top motivation compared to zero motivation - easy as that for me. Definitely not a big deal...

Yup exactly my trio + darkhorse Kolobnev and maybe just maybe Sagan (who knows what he can do, he suprises me almost every race he's doing so...??)

Great race by Vincenzo, Liqui managed it pretty well - I thought they would be put under more pressure, but hey nice one really! Congratz to Peter great profesional performance for 3 weeks, good job! And thanks to DT for animating the forum during Vuelta (Nibbs the champ :D ) and the rest...

Gilbert and Farrar +1. Pozzato looks good for WC too...

Even if I would like to see Vincenzo take the win, I woted for Eze - 30 sec lost because of the puncture in ITT will be decisive I think. Also I don't agree with those who think that Liqui is a stronger team than XC - if they are on flat, thay are definitely not stronger in steep climbs...

Of course you never know, but the thing is that Peter Velits was always considered a great talent. And with that sort of talent, you never know when and what kind of result it will bring. I'm not overely suspicious of this kind of situation, I'm more alerted when an ordinary rider suddenly...

It's good to have a same looking twin brother who is a strong time trialist for this kind of situation I think... :D

What a shame, really sorry for Anton and Martinez, I hope they'll be ok. But I'm happy with Nibali in the red, I like the guy. It doesn't bother me, that he isn't best at anything (which is true), consistency is a virtue too... + good support from Kreuziger, he confirms that he can work for...

Now I'm not suprised even Spartacus want's to leave Saxo. Liquigas boys on the pause during yesterday's rest day training ride :-D http://twitpic.com/2lsrd8

Great acquisition, new Rabo looks fantastic to me now. Really looking forward to see, what kind of results they will have next year.
