So sad about Nibali getting 4th

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Amazing race.

 

[Ferminal]

Are we on for a bigger meltdown than 2009?

 

[goggalor]

Amazing by Costa!!!! And no Nibali on the podium either, yay.

 

[Descender]

Told you, b*tches.

 

[the sceptic]

lol nicely done Valverde

 

[roundabout]

Piti is the moron of the decade

 

[Marco Pantani]

Valverde omg, how stupid.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Well done Spain.

It takes a lot of talent to **** up this big.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Props to Nibali though. The guy just does not know when to throw in the towel...

 

[Escarabajo]

Always the coward spanish team. So now you have it. They didn't win. Ha-ha.

I am very sad for Uran. Very sad. He seemed to be in very good form.

 

[Peccio89]

Spanish fail

 

[b.broadhurst]

Shame we have to see him at Lampre

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Costa!!!!!

Poor Nibbles. Clearly the strongest in the race though.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pity Valverde has to pollute the podium.

 

[brilleaben]

Inb4 Costa wheelsucking complaints. He rode incredibly smart.

 

[Pippo_San]

Spanish *******s **** you morons

 

[ILovecycling]

This big lol at Spaniard particularly Valverde!Omg

But he has a bronze lol

 

[Amsterhammer]

Awesome, simply stunning! What a finale. Chapeau, Costa.

 

[HL2037]

How did the spaniards manage to drop this? Well played by Costa.

 

[shinoda13]

Rui Costa F U!

 

[Kazistuta]

Costa really is an impressive rider!

JRod should have seen him arrive earlier and allowed Valverde the chance to get a certain Spanish win.

Gotta admit the Spanish boys did almost everything right, even though they did nothing to animate the race before the last two rounds.

 

[rainman]

Whatever the offer was it wasn't enough

 

[Afrank]

Pretty disappointing worlds. No Cancellara or Sagan in the final, Spain making Nibali do all the work, Costa wheelsucked before soloing up to Purito. Would have preferred Purito to tell the truth, at least he was solo and attacking in the final.

Wonder what made Nibali lose his wheel on the descent? Maybe nervous. Props to Nibs for doing so much chasing.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Valverde. Always first to be last to be first.
