2010 Vuelta al Pais Vasco

[The Sheep]

NAILED IT 5 days ago!!!

Sadly.

another week then he can nearly win the AGR

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

We'll probably get to read on the Rabosport site that Gesink did the fastest climb, the fastest descent, and again the fastest climb on that final ramp... all for nothing. Jeez Rabo, buy some decent tires, FFS.

Yeah, we all know Gesink will never win

 

[Moondance]

Yeah, we all know Gesink will never win

10 years from now we'll all be like ACF94.....

I feel sick at the thought already.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

We can always relish our many korfball titels...

By that time Mollema will have won the Giro and Dekker's comeback will have resulted in 9 monuments and 3 TDF victories...

"Purito" once again delivering the goods for Katusha-Nice ride.
tomorrow the Val-piti vs Horner showdown

 

[theyoungest]

Gesink will probably take time on both Horner and Valverde in tomorrow's TT... just to rub it in: "See fans, I could have won, but I just decided not to! Bwahahaha!"

 

[Moondance]

We can always relish our many korfball titels...

Sven Kramer winning the WK Allround for the 14th consecutive against some nobody.....

LOL. You guys never miss a chance to clobber the cobber.
Poor old Cuddles.

Heck, better Bobby G to flat than to have broken his CB, no?
It's only Pais Vasco, not Le Tour....

Only if Human Plasma finds a new home

Which is why we're all cracking wise about it. If it happens in le Tour while he's in a good position I'll cry though.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It always happens to him. Tirreno last year, Vuelta last year, Tour last year, Paris Nice 08 was also a bit unlucky, and now another one to add.

I'd pretty much burn my own house if he has bad luck in the Tour again

True, but it's getting to be a pattern. He could have won Paris-Nice, podiumed in the Vuelta, done God-knows-what in the Tour, if not for his bad luck.

edit: and I forgot about last year's Tirreno, where he was the fastest up the Montelupone... just way behind the winner.

Robert Gesink (foto) is vrijdag letterlijk uit de topdrie van het klassement van de Ronde van het Baskenland gevallen. De Rabokopman kwam in de beklimming van de ultrasteile (tot 25%) slotklim ten val en kon de daarbij opgelopen achterstand van ruim een minuut op de andere favorieten niet meer goedmaken. De Spanjaard Rodriguez won de etappe. Gesink finishte op 1:07 van de ritwinnaar en verloor ruim 45 seconden op klassementsleider Alejandro Valverde. Gesink liep bij zijn val schaafwonden op aan elleboog en heup. Over andere verwondingen is nu nog geen duidelijkheid.

He fell ON the climb.
Seriously, what the f.ck?

 

[Moondance]

He fell ON the climb.

So it was a fall....

More twitter lies i guess?

 

[theyoungest]

He fell ON the climb.
Seriously, what the f.ck?

Well, that's even worse, I guess. Now he only has himself to blame.

 

[Mellow Velo]

He fell ON the climb.
Seriously, what the f.ck?

You are now, officially nought for two!
Both him and Frank S, down in the same race.
Who would have thunk it?
(must have been pushed by one of those pesky Basqards)

Maybe he is affected by Menchov, he has the tendacy to fallmon climbs too

It was probably some English speaking rider. I can't stand those guys.

 

[theyoungest]

Gesink, the falling Dutchman. My new favourite for the Amstel Gold Race is Michel Kreder

 

[issoisso]

He fell ON the climb.
Seriously, what the f.ck?

Think positive. At least I can't deride his downhilling skills this time

 

[Beech Mtn]

So, where did the great climbing revelation Wiggins finish up today?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink was 50 seconds behind Valverde on the top of the climb, he finished at 46 at the finish

Must have ridden a helluva a downhill and final part.

 

[Frosty]

Cyclingnews report says that he had a flat tyre?
