2012 Criterium International, 2.HC, 24th - 25th of March

Most boring mt stage ever

Not enough strong riders in the field really. Evans looked like he didn't know what to do when he was all of a sudden alone in the last 2 km. Not exactly in Killer mode.

Cadel looks SUPER really, I wanted him to go for the stage win

Evans has very little experience with attacking, which is why I think he didn't know what to do but he could have easily won the stage had he played his cards right. Easily the strongest rider.

Had he continued to push it when he had the gap it would have mentally crushed the others.

Well yeah when your favorite riders are not contending.

Not everyone is like you

There was almost no action until 2km to go. You call that a great mt stage?
Get real and get over yourself

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yeah I really hope Evans doesn't do what contador does and give others stage wins.

Lol he'll never because he's just not good enough lol. You only do that when you're Teh Best.

Congrats to Evans. He was strong today.

It wasn't a great mountain stage, but it was an exciting finish. About what you can expect from this race.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Great ride by moinard today, he was brilliant!

 

[LaFlorecita]

You can't help yourself, can't you?

What you didn't see what your fellow Cuddles fanboy wrote? Looks like HE can't help himself.

Contador is irrelevant, he is banned and not competing. Get over it.

Eurosport 2 does occasionally.

Yeah he really does not know how to ride away from the others on a climb. He usually follows and contests for the finish. Yeah would have liked it if he tried to ride away.

What is Kirby crapping on about?

 

[airstream]

typical for criterium internacional mountain stage with a damn slow tempo and no attacks. logical win by evans.

I wasn't saying it was a great mountain stage, most mountain stages are like that nowadays anyway.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Everybod stop it with the nastiness and insults right now. I am trying to cover three races simultaneously and don't have the time or interest to put with this BS.

Behave yourselves or face the consequences.

Kirby is a jovial chap.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Evans is officially back!!!!!!

 

[dlwssonic]

Evans is officially back!!!!!!

Easily the favorite for this years TDF!
Adds another stage race to his palmares!
He gets the points jersey too.
Good to see moinard riding well after a dissapointing last year.

I think the mtf on day 1 worked better as then people are less likely to rider the mtf defensive.

 

[dlwssonic]

LOL I think rabo got caught in the second group again!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Feed cut out...I was hoping for the national anthem!

Contador is irrelevant, he is banned and not competing. Get over it.

Her point was that it was not her but dwlsonic who brought up Contador and in a negative way at that, so its very unfair to blame her for bringing him up when she did not bring him up and had no option but to respond.
