Fetisoff said:Hesjedal will get the pink tomorrow anyway. As for Cav - I guess it's
a - He's the current world champ
b - has no problem getting over some hills when has a chance to win
c - finished behind Andrea Guardini today
In general - the way he rides these stages. Compare that to Andre Greipel for example

profff said:imho, chapeau to cav: he probably is still paying the price of the fall of two days ago, today was an hard day, very hot with 2500m elevation: time limit within 10% was difficult to made, today stage deserved a higher % , today it was more a mountain stage
search said:it was classified as a stage categoria c), that's the 3rd hightest out of 4 categories for road stages in this giro. Only the stages in the high mountains (and the timetrials, which are categoria e) ) have a higher percentage
burning said:What is the percentage for Stelvio and Pampeago stage?
I dont think that any sprinter will survive but just curious about it
So people can lose about an hour to survive in Stelvio (I think the time will be around 7 hours) I dont think that Cavendish can still do it but maybe Goss can survivesearch said:it's 15%, 25% for the timetrial
Fetisoff said:OK, I can live with that.
However to me that still doesn't justify him finishing in a group behind a guy who can't get over a speed bump if his life depended on it, and within 30 seconds of missing the time limit

Fetisoff said:Well, he must have felt good enough to win stage 5.
And oh yeah, I just hope he didn't have 5 beers when his girlfriend turned up, if you know what I mean

El Pistolero said:Peta Todd is media horny. I've seen her more on TV after races already then Cav during a bike race.

I guess you are not the father of a child? And certainly not the mother.Caruut said:So she's lost some hotness. She needs to lose a lot of hotness to stop being hot.
