[Fetisoff]

There was talk of crosswinds earlier in the thread...

Yeah, I heard that.
It just seemed like that gap got a bit too big a bit too fast, that's all

australia? i think they went with the average placings on all stages which is imo wrong since valverde has a stage win

Don't they just add all the stage placements together, and whoever is lower is ahead on the standings?

The Shack (Voigt) really put the hammer down there.

Like you need to understand the questions. You just do the standard answers of I would like to thank my team mates, I couldn't do it without them, its a great win and I'm very happy

 

[maltiv]

Well, at least EBH owned all other "sprinters" like Matthews, Freire etc so I wouldn't say he did too bad. Would've lost a lot less time if Rogers didn't do that stupid pull in the final.

IF TWO RIDERS SHOULD BE EVEN ON TIME, THE LEADER WILL BE DICTATED BY THE AMOUNT OF VEGEMITE CONSUMED IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS.

 

[Parrulo]

So how butchered was it?

saying it was butchered would be an euphemism. it was a mix of random spanish words with a couple of half italian sentences and english.

also seems like the machado hype express can departure once again to another season of failures

Great win for Valverde. Lets hope Cunego carries his form from last year into this and we have some great races coming up in the Low Countries

 

[Fetisoff]

Drama queen alert!!!! Drama queen alert!!!!!



Ok, worst day of the year, i could probably understand.... but this???

 

[Parrulo]

common you can't say you weren't at least a bit touched by valverde's post race interview.

 

[auscyclefan94]

no its not. get a grip. nobodies died.

I was kidding around. Oh well, I guess I should congratulate Valverde.

Interesting to see that Meyer and Lloyd were no way near the action.
