Honestly, the more I watch it, the more Slagter looks to me a total dumba$$

talk about being over-critical. Jesus christ. The guy is 22, first time he is in a free role in a GT. And first time he can actually do something in the finale other than follow. He has never been in this position. You get into a flow "hey i'm here... hey I can actually pain these big names. WTF!? Ok lets attack"...

Easy to say **** like that on your couch... if it was a big name like Basso racing like this I agree it would be stupid. But from a 22yo who never is in this position. Cut the guy some slack :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The name 'dumba$$' fits to you more than him.

Surely that must be El P's sockpuppet..

lol, posted at the same time.

To be honest a dreadful thought crossed my mind today.

As i watched airstream do his thing i thought, well theres one poster who admits he is a sockpuppet and one poster who admits he has one.

I would never expect pisti to have the capacity to pull of something like airstream but if its him, god have we all been owned.

Just because he's 22 yrs old doesn't mean he's gotta race like an espoir or a common amateur. He was probably the strongest today or the second strongest, and yet he behaved just like Purito's little dog.
Sagan is younger, undoubtly stronger, he made a lot of mistakes also this year, but he never raced senselessly like Slagter today.

His DS better give him some lessons about tactics. He's an interesting talent but today he was a dumba$$, you can say what you want D_T, that is a fact.

He does seem to have an opinion on Rabobank more often than not, and now attacking a 22 year-old Dutchie trying to figure out his own limits in a GT. Aside from that, I've been in enough arguments with Pisti to know that their debating styles are quite similar. This will always remain speculation though as he would never admit to it even if it was true.

oh lol, you mean Pistollero speaking Russian. Im starting to think airstream would be more the puppeteer than the puppet in such a relationship.

LOL, now that would be a twist. El Pistolero is Airstream's sockpuppet, while GIBO SIMONI(who in turn has a sock puppet "Pippo San") is El Pistolero.

Hesjedal didn't seem ok on this climb, maybe this type of climb didn't suite him at all, like basso.

Expected more of Uran, Henao and especially Cunego[/QUOTE]

What do you expect out of Ryder? He finished 6th one of the first over the line, did a great job getting in position without much help from his team on a finish like this

He is placed in quite a good position now though and i fully agree with the CN 10 Conclusions article that all the GC dudes must be wondering how is he in front with 40km time-trialling.

Slagter was epic.
