Nice, CQ points from Nizzolo and Battaglin.

Lol, what is the problem of comparing Nacer with Amir Khan?

 

[argyllflyer]

You are joking aren't you? He looks nothing like Amir Khan and an educated guess would put their heritage several thousand miles apart.

You could see his nose ending up similar if he causes any more shenanigans in sprints! Did he not call Griepel out for a scrap once?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

nothing wrong with it, except Khan is a softie compared to Nacer.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Am I the only one who had to google Amir Khan? Never heard of that guy before.

Same here. Personally, the other celebrity that comes to mind when I think of Nacer is Batroc the Leaper.

 

[ILovecycling]

Your dislike for their faith coming through? and also what KingBoonen said.

What the ..?Are you serious?I wasnt pointing anything,just wanted to compare to a boxer and in that particular second Khan just came to my mind as he is same race,religion,face and sport.
Just for the record I respect their religion,all religions (for god sake),races,traditions etc.Just dont like some parts of it but it doesnt mean at all that I really have something against it,I respect it completely.

Lol look at what netserk posted,they looks a bit similiar, they had same hair,ears,skin,both are for Islam,both arabs (I know p.akistan is not 'real' arabian,but still).Im not any uneducated bonehead and I wonder and Im sorry if my posts give this impression

It was just a guess which came to my mind,not any serious scientific analysis of two people.

I like posts and opinions of both of you,but that was a bit overreacting from you.

Nevermind mate, just people looking for trouble. Ignore the idiocy.

I also don't get what the fuss was all about.

Nacer crazy as fuck!

Amir Khan wins again lol

Nice sprint,clear,no bad weather etc.

Yeah, and Barack Obama is a dead ringer for Yohann Gene.

What is this, 1972?

 

[JRanton]

what a great win for the pharaoh nacer! crazy as fucc to go so close to the barriers

I was thinking that as I watched it back. Would have been an horrendous crash.

Just read my last post.

Nacer head of the class again. Here he is with his brothers:

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So Nacer likes to watch old videos of Tyson before starting to race, you know just to get psyched up a bit.

More in article on CN: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bouhanni-wins-second-giro-ditalia-stage-and-takes-points-jersey

Ok I can forgive him he's young, but he should go back in time and check out Mr 'The Hitman' Hearns on youtube. Much more class and definitely not a softie.

 

[mr. tibbs]

The Tyson video thing is kinda silly. Boys playing at being maturity through hyper aggressiveness. Still, I'm excited (and kinda scared) by how Bouhanni rides. A French sprinter. It feels...nice, but in a naughty way.

I saw a post earlier suggesting he's a Sardinian revivalist, if not an outright agitator for sovereignty. What's that about?

I'm glad to see a French sprinter succeeding as well. And I was also curious about the Sardinian flag. Bouhanni was born in Épinal as far as I can determine, in the northeast of France.

Don't know about it.
Anyway I enjoy different types of characters in the sport rather than the typical broken record stuff.

The early break included a Movistar rider, but he was likely called back. It was a little too much for the peloton.

(I know p.akistan is not 'real' arabian,but still)

Are you serious? I deleted the rest of the rubbish but seriously? We're just going to dump everyone with light brown skin into the 'Arabian' category?

What next? Calling Vietnamese Chinamen. Utterly ridiculous.

Nothing wrong with comparing anyone but since ilovecycling has some issues with Islam, i thought it has something to do with that.

Just because one doesn't like a religion doesn't mean one doesn't like the people belonging to said religion.

Yea but they usually treat them with some amount of disrespect and clouds their judgement, he doesnt even want to call him by his Muslim name but we don't know what he/she really feels, so this discussion is ridiculous.

Whaaaaaaat?

I'm no fan of religion, but that doesn't mean I view religious people any different than non-religious people.

That is you and not everybody else and again we don't know what or how ilovecycling think.

 

[Tournesol]

This conversation is a mess.

1 ilovecycling thinks bouhanni and khan look alike - fine
2 he thinks islam isn't for him - fine
3 he thinks that both riders are arabian when one is french-algerian and the other is british-****stani - a sloppy unresearched post

Nothing else to say,perhaps the problem has been caused by ilovecycling admitting he doesnt like islam which then gives his other musings a different slant. Were all good in this chat i think,no racism here.
