Kreuziger has always been overrated. Simply doesn't have it in the cols.

 

[Parrulo]

danilo di luca 2.0 is doing a great job at the front. hesjedal not looking all that good.

but he will get about 20 minutes on the itt so he is still good for the win

 

[cineteq]

Maybe he's sick.

Probably got a sore throat.

You guys crack me up!!!LOL!!!

 

[DominicDecoco]

Maybe he's sick.

Touche.

[Ryo Hazuki]

Maybe he's sick.

no this is his usual level in week 3.

 

[Jan the Man]

kreuziger is overhyped by himself and some here

Pot calling kettle black?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Frankly if people are going to lay into Ryo for his Rujano-hype (ignoring the fact that his Henao predictions seem to be right on the money), then laying into the Kreuziger lovers who assured us he could podium this Giro seems reasonable.

This exactly.

Probably got a sore throat.

Hahaha good call.

 

[cineteq]

no this is his usual level in week 3.

You're talking about Rujano, right?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Kreuziger is actually showing some grit here. He doesn't have the legs to hold on but he's fighting for every yard.

I really don't understand sneering at riders who crack.

 

[Pharazon]

oh dear... Harmon just made me laugh out loud...

 

[Publicus]

Caruso is absolutely killing it on the front.

EDIT: I feel for Roman. He's a long way from the finish line and he looks like he has nothing left.

Someone claimign to be a podium contender. And even saying last weekend he lost some seconds 'on purpose' and that was 'the plan'... Then cracking up is hilarious to me, yes. Serves him right. Also for saying in this stage nothing will happen and Astana won't attack... coward rider.

Go Tiralongo

[Ryo Hazuki]

Pot calling kettle black?

yeah how about my henao predictions? oh wait...

 

[Eyeballs Out]

failli to liquigas next season

He's going to take the KOM pts

 

[will10]

Who's the Farnese guy at the front? Auditioning for Liquigas contract in 2013?

It because of the massive hype about him. If Oliviera cracks then nothing, but no one ever said, that he could podium in the Giro.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Who's the Farnese guy at the front? Auditioning for Liquigas contract in 2013?

Francesco Failli, and he's doing it to get max GPM points to protect Rabottini's lead in that classification.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

It was Failli taking KoM points.

He's climbing out of his skin today.

 

[Frosty]

Is Pozzovivo there?

 

[will10]

He's going to take the KOM pts

ah, yes. I didn't realise we were that close to the top.

 

[The Sheep]

Who's the Farnese guy at the front? Auditioning for Liquigas contract in 2013?

taking points for Rabottini?

 

[Parrulo]

Is Pozzovivo there?

yes, he looked calm a couple k ago.
