One of them actually made it to the podium.

Ryo Hazuki said:he crashed and was already dropped. why would he continue
SafeBet said:Wait.
I just said Lelangue, interviewd by Rai, stated that he wasn't injured and that he was more scared than sore.

Soory Just saw that it was 3100 something, so thought he had more than GilbertPanda Claws said:Gilbert had 3180 points
Purito had 2843 points prior to Lombardy
Since when gives winning a monument 330+ points?

The Hitch said:Rain favours the risktaker which in Contadors case was him as the guy chasing and with nothing to lose. Purito was defending.
Today though Purito was just as willing to take risks.
Ryo Hazuki said:contador did absolutely zeor in trying to get puri back after the climb. he didn't help the skys at all. not saying that he had to but he really can't throw it out the way it is

Gilbert didn't need this race. he's already redeemed his season with the Worlds. leave him be!
(eta: that was more to Afrank than you, sorry.)
SafeBet said:Purito just said that Gilbert had caught and passed the whole front group before crashing.
Sorry if this was posted before but I didn't know it.
Ryo Hazuki said:yes but you don't really think he would've had a chance after that right? lol. he was 20th guy over the murro and the first 5 todya over final climb were all in first 5 over murro as well.

Red Rick said:I'm curious about what Contador said after the race
El Pistolero said:Seems to me like he would've bossed this race without the crash.
Anyway that's cycling, Purito won deserving, end of story.

El Pistolero said:So what's your logic about Phil leaving everyone behind in the descent after he caught up?
He crashed because of the rain. Not because of your silly way of thinking.
The Hitch said:I remember when Nibali crashed in 2010 how happy you were and proudly shouting that descending is part of the sport and that phil is a far better descender than nibali.
But now that Phil crashes, you act as if crashing is an act of god.
The Hitch said:Gilbert crashed because he was dropped. Everyone in the peloton was having a nice descent. Gilbert meanwhile was way back and needed to catch up so he started taking risks.
El Pistolero said:I'm still saying descending is part of the sport and that Rodriguez win was deserving lol. And yeah, Phil's a better descender. He weights more, so goes down faster.
Rain isn't caused by God though.
