Chapeau Betancourt, he will destroy everyone at FW

 

[BigMac]

No sweat, he has been following cycling for only a few months. It takes time to understand how these races work.

Clearly he has not. He is just playing you all with his inocent questions and loling at you behind his screen. Some stuff he asks can easily be found on google. Guess he is new to google as well.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

It looks like the only real competition Betancur faces is his belly....

 

[scholar]

Oh don't worry, you're not the only one. I have had that feeling since his post #1

At the moment he's functionally equivalent to a troll. The key question is whether things improve as he becomes more knowledgeable.

Well, there's this two/three guys in T-A today that might argue differently

 

[Cyivel]

He says he's new to cycling yet he's a professional cyclist for Team Sky.

Psst... I don't think ianstannard is actually Ian Stannard.

Well, it makes more sense than Ianstan Nard, doesn't it?

Hi,

will be in Nice on sunday. Does anyone know if it's a good party night after the last stage arrivee in Nice?

Does some cyclists hit the restaurants and maybe even the bars?

Did u see Stannard with a mobile on his bike watching Paris Nice while riding TA? No. #common sense

It was just an uphill sprint. . . How was this great racing? There was absolutely no selection or significant attacks before the last km!!!

you hate PN so bad i understand you tho.

...
Bentacour is impressive. I saw his photo overweight (almost like noval) a month ago. and he is not even anorexic yet, but he managed to go that fast on the last hill. Won back to back. If he continues like this, and he gets to his anorexic weight, he'll be another Quintana comes TDF.

do you have a link pls?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great ride by Betancur. He just needs to learn how to position himself. And hats off to Vuillermoz.. What a ride today! Oh yeah, and great performance by Thomas as well.

Gotta say, Thomas was much better than I expected.
Betancur delivered again, but it was really close this time. Very little difference between the top riders here.

The Hotsteppers will strike in the weekend for Stybar.

Lol Kelderman finished in front of Nibali.

Betancur in the off season.

I hope this trend of bad racing design doesn't become the norm for the next years.

I'm waiting for Catalunya to see some proper racing.

When all someone can hope is to snatch a couple seconds + bonus seconds that's bad race design.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

nahhh when the favourites attack with commitment only to snatch a few seconds, that's a good race design.

today's stage was a bit meh but last two stages were just fine.....

Longing for another Froome domination display?

Can we ban him now? Like, permanent?

 

[Parrulo]

Bully much?

I'm surprised he/she has lasted this long...

 

[Netserk]

Relax like the fat cat Betancur and use your class to win the stage

 

[scholar]

This. It's either because he's not a troll but is genuinely trying to learn about cycling, or (and if I'm honest I think this one is more likely) becuase he's a very, very good troll indeed, who can pitch his cluelessness at just the right level to avoid being banned.

 

[hfer07]

the fat cat does it again!!!!:d:d
