PS: BTW, I actually meant "love you Eurosport", it's just I consider the word "love" to be too strong for this forum so I censored it with asteriscs.

Who else thinks Costa should have won this?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

embarrasing classics performance by astana this year.
Iglinksy nowhere near last years shape(We could see that already in Strade Bianche)
Gaspa doing a bit worse that excpected, but not catastrofal.
Nibali, only doing LBL and working for Gaspa at the end efter not being able to follow the best.
Fuglsang, Grivko all shoing great form, but this is not their races to win.

 

[SKSemtex]

Czech commentary really sucks on Eurosport. I have to use this forum as "subtitles".
That guy had to have his money on Valverde or something.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Also Dawg barely beat A.Schleck

Beware of the Tour. Andy will crush all resistance

 

[Parrulo]

Who else thinks Costa should have won this?

saying he should have won is stupid, i think he could have done better if movistar had saved him like they did to quintana who in the end was nowhere to be seen but that doesn't mean he could have won.

 

[brilleaben]

Who else thinks Costa should have won this?

About 10 million do. Still think Valverde was stronger, but a free role for Costa would have been justified

 

[jaylew]

Schleck not bad. Not bad at all. I'd love to see him back in the mix at the Tour (though I'd hate to see him win). The more guys to disrupt the Sky train, the better.

I'm really disappointed with German Eurosport too. They are fairly neutral, but zero excitement.

eta: and one second after the finish line they switch to ****ing handball.

Don't know about winning, but surely top-5 without being burned on work and atacks.

About 10 million do.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Valverde is an overrated ****

 

[SKSemtex]

Who was the best from Cannondale?

What about Moser?

Or any link to final result

You still haven't answered his question.

Instead, you've gone on and actually deleted that post and given me an infraction for "foul language".

The whole asterisc censorship thing is ridiculous enough as it is (how old are we? eight?), but these visceral abuses of power are downright embarrassing.

No worries though, from now on I'll use words like "fudge" and "shoot" and "gosh".

I hope I still get presents at Christmas.

For what it's worth, I'm with you. Ridiculous infraction.

He's not overrated. The fact that he was 3rd despite having the tactical nous of a hungover Schleck brother says it all.

 

[Ferminal]

Hopefully Martin skips the Tour after that and tries to win in Firenze.

 

[iZnoGouD]

i think from now on Costa should always be leader, don't race with Valverde anymore cuz he doesn't deserve a domestique so strong

 

[roundabout]

and fwiw, yes there were plenty of attacks, but with 4 billion BMCs and Astanas behind they never seemed to be really threatening.

well, except when there were Fuglsang and Frank ahead, but they couldn't cooperate

 

[pastronef]

oh yes oh yes oh yessss!!!!!!! yeah!

great DAN!

It seemed like he did his usual waiting for the other guy to close the gap thing

so, yeah. **** him. plenty of talent, but adds nothing to the races.

he is a ****ign loser, his team worked all day for him and in the end he just wheelsucks for 3rd place, ***

He was probably spent in the finale, but that was probably because he decided to do nothing but suck Gilbert's wheel all day and he had to make a huge effort on St Nicolas.
