2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 9: Sansepolcro - Firenze 170 km

[Miburo]

Frank comments by Wiggins. "admits he descended like a girl."

So still better than andy?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Nibali may well take it easy on the descents if it stays wet. Off the top of my head on wet descents he's crashed in Lombardy twice and twice more the other day

 

[whittashau]

Pretty honest comments from Wiggins.

what did he say?

 

[The Hitch]

Anyone know what the weather will be for September 29th?

 

[Descender]

What does that mean? is that the shark in Italian?

Yes. And amazingly, auscyclefan got it right and didn't write Il Squalo like so many people.

 

[Carols]

LOL Wiggo says 'frankly I descended like a bit of a girl'. At least Bradshe admits it Also said 'his numbers' yesterday showed he is stronger than last year. Bike racing is more than numbers Sky!

LOL @ Wiggins: "Let's be honest....I descended like a girl....not to disrespect girls...."

Kudos for being man enough to tell it like it is

Haha "let's be honest... I descended like andy"

 

[Scott SoCal]

Pretty honest comments from Wiggins.

Yes.

Sadly tho, he says he descended like a girl then realized that comment wasn't PC and backed up a bit.

Too bad we are all so sensitive nowadays

Hehe!

I see Garate was on time today...

 

[l.Harm]

Astana letting it go now.

 

[virandociclista]

Going downhill is very hard... It is much bettter go uphill... And if the downhill is under rain.... Man... It's a trip to the hell!!

 

[Descender]

Txurruka wins the Vuelta a Asturias.

Expelled from Euskaltel, has as many wins as the whole Euskaltel team this year.

 

[The Hitch]

what did he say?

That he was disapointed not to win the stage but when he saw the numbers realized it wasn't bad and he's in the form of his life (so presumably he'll attack in the mountains)
Says he descended poorly.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Yes.

Sadly tho, he says he descended like a girl then realized that comment wasn't PC and backed up a bit.

If it was the forum he would have been banned..sensitivity law

Txurruka is mainstream now, getting wins and all that stuff. He isn't funny anymore; now you can't be sure that the break he's in will inevitably fail.

 

[the asian]

So still better than andy?

Yep. At least he didn't say the descent were too dangerous and life risking.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

We know this guy would do it

Look at the muscles .bet he eats alot of pork.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Very unfair. Maybe he descends like Emma Pooley, who cheerfully acknowledges that while she's good at going uphill, she's woeful at going back down again, but there are some good descenders in the women's péloton.

 

[spalco]

I'm glad Wiggins is aware of his issues, that goes a big way towards solving them.

 

[Kazistuta]

What's up with Chalapud? Is he the new leech?

 

[brilleaben]

Don't mess with Pirazzi

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Txurruka is mainstream now, getting wins and all that stuff. He isn't funny anymore; now you can't be sure that the break he's in will inevitably fail.

Oh shush. Can't you just be happy that one of the most deserving guys out there finally has a win after 7 years of being in the break every day? It'd be like if Pirazzi finally got a pro win, but only in four years' time. Only Pirazzi had some notable amateur wins, like a stage of Regioni.

 

[the asian]

Great entertainment from Pirazzi and Chalapud. No reason for a complaint from Chalapud though. Thought the move by Pira was fine.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Yes.

Good catch...ridiculous.

True, I didn't see the problem either. Just mad he lost haha.
