dont be ridiculous.

Why? Can't stand that I'm right?

 

[Aristarchus]

did Froome attack on the climb or grinded away with Spilak ? (I tuned on late)

Nibali attacked, and Froome replied, dropping Nibs. Spilak clawed up to Froome, and stuck with him for the rest of the climb, and into the descent.

dont be ridiculous.

Why isn't Nibali descending on the front if his skills are so much superior?

nice, thanks

 

[the sceptic]

Froome shouldnt take another turn here. Why should he care if he takes 30 secs or 1 minute on the rest

 

[meat puppet]

fwiw, it looked as though froome descended quite well. took some corners bettern than spilak, even.

should go long range

 

[BigMac]

Rate sprinters in the second group. Betting on Costa for re-edition of last year's podium.

 

[webbie146]

I do. But I also understood you said Armstrong used to "suck" this time of the year.

Well instead of 'he sucked' I should had said 'generally did not challenge for the win' in this period of the year. Don't think u can disagree with me on that

He did sometimes win a ITT before the TDF. My point was Nibs can improve by a big margin in a small amount of time. Lance has done it, so has Andy.

cuz you know why this is happening and pretending to not know it,I hate this

(hint:my previous posts)

 

[spalco]

Spilak's style on the bike isn't very graceful either btw in my opinion.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why isn't Nibali descending on the front if his skills are so much superior?

Exactly!
People here 2 pages ago claimed Nibali would easily close a 30s gap on Froome.
Now after the descend Froome even gained from 55s to 1 minute..

What do you make of that ilovecycling?

 

[Butterhead]

Damn, the last weeks or month the forum have been flooded with trolls, can´t we do anything?

 

[Jspear]

Spilak takes it.

 

[Aristarchus]

Spilak takes it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Best sprint ever

 

[BigMac]

Its a decent slope uphill.

Spilaks takes it by a cm.

 

[Ruby United]

HES BACK!!! Spilak wins.

Jesus christ DT, you're smarter than that. It's pretty clear that everyone was taking it easy. No point in Nibbles attacking as he knows he has no chance against Froome in the TT. The fact that Birdsong who was clearly struggling with the descent stayed with Nibali and Costa shows that they weren't going full gas.

Seriously man - what a ridiculous post.

 

[spalco]

If that was a gift, Froome made it look good.

 

[Matdum94]

Man, Froome really has lost his form, he is in a bad position of winning the TDR.

 

[Jspear]

Costa
Fugslang

Froome beat Spilak in Geneva last year.

 

[pastronef]

froome had 3 sec on Spilak in GC

how are the bonuses?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

zero celebration by spilak - even after the line

 

[Hugo87]

Costa 3rd.
