Good to see the reporters standing in the snow interviewing riders through the window in a hopefully warm car.

I think Nibali wouldnt have dropped him,but thats only speculation.

Nibali only finished 20 seconds ahead of the Colombians. Betancur had to get back to the front group twice in an effort that did not look easy at all.
I think it's pretty clear he spent a lot of energy getting back, he wouldn't have openly been ****ed off at Saxo otherwise.

But then again, that's just my opinion in my new-found fanboyism.

“This is partly a precaution but also a statement to the organisation. They knew long enough that there was so much snow on the road. What happens now is the fault of the organisation. Have you ever wanted to bicycle through the snow? There are nicer things than this. I’m completely frozen.”

whining about the snow, and saying the organisation is at fault. pretty similar in my opinion. (i like both of them, and did not expect these type of comments from either of them.)

Where was this? Do you have a link to who spouted this nonsense?

Morouey makes Top 20 in GC at Giro 0_0

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

There was some good footage of Uran at the finish with snow caked eyebrows.

Hopefully no icicles off the mullet?

That is the good thing about the mullet only the back freezes in the snow.

That was sweet! Nibs taking off his glove and kissing his wedding ring I am such a sucker for move like that!!

Then Agnoli in tears...aw, man...

I missed all but the last bit - gotta watch it again.

Lol I hate such moves but that's just me I'm a bit weird

Agnoli in tears is sweet though

You'd have loved it, if it was Alberto

Read back. I believe this is an old Boonen quote.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Betancur up to 4th! Just a great overall ride from him. I hope he continues to progress and he and Majka can take up this battle again at the Vuelta

EDIT: Well 5th.

Both did great rides this Giro but I doubt Majka would have been as close to Betancur if we'd had the full parcours without the weather induced changes.

Could you answer the original question about why you think boonens msr comments are so different to cancellaras today?

 

[contessador]

You'd have loved it, if it was Alberto

Does Alberto even wear a ring?

Nibs strikes me as more traditional, maybe...though I wouldn't know

 

[manafana]

he looks bit like a yettie in the snow with that hair and sides

 

[movingtarget]

Cancellara is a pro whiner always has been. Who cares what he thinks of the Giro. If the organisers were not concerned about the riders they wouldn't have re-routed stages and cancelled yesterday's stage. The riders think the organisers have done a good job.

That depends. The course was very suited to Betancur this way, he's an explosive climber and we've had mostly explosive climbs.

I gotta say that if I look at the two and have to predict who will be the real super star in the future, Betancur seems the obvious bet. His acceleration is out of this world.

Says the fangirl of the guy with the most cheesy victory salute of all.

He's Sicilian. Quite the family man.

 

[theyoungest]

BTW De Greef almost made it into the top-20. The Cycling Gods wanted none of it and made him fall back to 21st.

Lost out to Mourey of all people.

Diego Rosa 25th in his first GT. Quite decent effort.

That is what I was guessing.

Exactly. Betancur is more a man for Giro/Vuelta. Steep ramps suit him very well. Changes of rhythm.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like Niemec beat or finished with Scarponi on every difficult stage.

Shame about his TT ability.

Agnoli in tears? When was that? Is there a clip of that haha

 

[jsem94]

My thoughts:

Not amused by Saxo, Betancur a class act. What a future he's got.

Nibbles winning in style, amazing rider. TDF14?

 

[LaFlorecita]

I wouldn't

And no he doesn't wear a ring contessador.. more traditional I don't know

And I don't like his victory salute theyoungest!



By the way I was very very impressed by Aru today. Amazing ride. What a talent.
