Epic stage. Pity we couldn't see it live. Great to see Nibali attacking even though he was sitting pretty in the Maglia Rosa.

And Kudos to all the riders who finished today's stage. This Giro is for the hard *******s !

Great Santa i can say watching now the final climb, a very deserved victory.
Nice the nod between Nibbles and Santa with 350 mt. to go. :D

Your point being? When your buddy was destroying that Giro and he let his mate Tiralongo win the stage would you claim Alberto wasn't owning the race?

My point being that I didn't understand what everyone was talking about. Now I know you all think he's a god because he attacked with 1800m to go and supposedly let Santambrogio win.

I think it's ridiculous to let other riders win. Real champions don't do that. Real champions always go for the win.

Thus Contador was never a real champion, we get it.

You didn't think this through did you?

Nibali is firmly in control of the race, could have dropped Santambrogio like a stone if he wanted today.

I think we need a Colombian conspiracy to make this a closer race.

I think it's more people are just happy with Nibali's performance today. Attacking with Santam, putting time into Evans, Uran, and others, and gifting Santam the stage is a very good performance and worthy of praise.

If I knew Cameron Wurf started with bronchitis I wouldn't have made that bet:p

OK... I even chose a nice avatar for you, so that you can feel proud owner of it. If I win, of course. One week still to go... ;)

Well the performance itself wasnt anything special. 1800m out is less than J Rod usually does. But he doesn't need to. Hes done everything right so far and is well on his way to winning the giro quite comfortably.

So the history of cycling hasn't seen a real champion yet? What a lame sport!

You do like Vettel though I suppose?
