Did Morabito get back on?

Morabito did get back on. But I can't imagine he is feeling well now

Bad idea for who? Androni should only race when they are guaranteed to win? I think you are advocating an untenable standard. Seems to me we've had some harder than expected racing that may impact the overall standings in the near term. Personally I want to see competition not a coronation (be that of the overall or on a stage).

cmon, you know better than this bs.

Androni had an agenda, be in the break, but it failed miserably.
The biggest fail here is that they wait till the gap is more than 5 min before they start chasing, and they have been chasing the whole stage. It will no be forgotten, and they have no chance in hell of winning this now, not a chance.
It has nothing to do with if you race or not, it has to do with when you do it and using your head, Savio is not the fastest kid in school, never was, and its wasted work today.

35 seconds is too close to be of use.

So which posters was it that complained about BMC ignoring crashes but don't have a problem Androni doing it?

You said there were some so presumably you have some names?

Sorry man trying to watch the race.

There was an almighty uproar on here when BMC rode the other day yet not a peep today from anyone. So those people.

Don't really think a list of names is required since I don't see the point in trawling through forums posts to individually point out and shame people. I'll leave that to those with the time to engage in childish one-upmanship.

To be clear. I have absolutely no problem with Androni riding today just as I had no problem with BMC riding the other day. My problem is with those who criticised BMC but are not criticising Androni with the same vigour.

Don't get confused though. I don't care as much as you clearly do so please unbunch your knickers.

Rogers at near the front

It looked like Landy Bannister when Roche was looking the wrong way as Arrendondo went by.

He made a "Hi, bye!" on them?

 

[PirazziAttacksVino]

Lol @Roche telling the motorcycle driver to drag him to Arredondo

 

[stetre76]

Go Preidl go, try to stay with Arredondo - yes, it's the Austrian speaking in me

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great attack by Zardini! That looks really powerful.

 

[fauniera]

CN believes Preidler is german.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

peloton (S Sanchez) is going fast

 

[luckyboy]

Androni's plan worked really well

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Moreno was pretty disappointing

With all the respect to Zardini, Arredondo et al, is Roche getting his a** kicked by a bunch of nobodies?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rolland and Pellizotti in the attack

With all the respect to Zardini, Arredondo et al, is Roche getting his a** kicked by a bunch of nobodies?

Arredondo is way better than Roche, normally.
