How the hell isit silly so your telling me if Froome destroys Contador uphill who has looked great in Tirreno that is a good thing ok sir whatever

Who the hell cares about Froome right now?! Contador won in the old fashioned way in a spectacular ride. That's what the fans like and care.

Horner 2:08
Basso 4mins Lol
Kwiatok... 6.06

What a stage.

wow what a show, bravo alberto. I hope for similar show during TDF.

Also, I would like to see sagan descending the lanciano, as he came only 2 mintues down to contador, he must have been flying

 

[Butterhead]

Guys il change my avtar to anything if Contador hows up in Catalunya, surely he will not race it now with this confidence, would it not be embarrasing to lose after Froome missed Tirreno?

It will probably come as a huge surprise to you, but nobody gives a flying xxxxx about which avatar you are using, or the trolling.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Noticed.

There seems to be some epic racing today

 

[Publicus]

Things just goes in Contador's way. First, Quintana not in form. Second, Porte is out.

Lol. I see it is silly season around here. It wasn't AC being head and shoulders above everyone, it is that he got lucky.

 

[the sceptic]

jens, how fast was lanciano?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A Froome type performance by Contador.

But what about ag2r? Multiple riders everywhere.

 

[Arredondo]

Great ride by Caruso btw, in absence of Moreno.

And great so see Arredondo already doing it so well in his first WT race

 

[Roude Leiw]

Kwia lost 6 minutes !

 

[Tashkent Terror]

What a turning point this could be, that was different to just winning a race, privileged to watch today's display.

 

[murali]

berto had shown the world that he is the true champion, launching the most insane attack and then carrying on till the end.

but we still have naysayers.

 

[Jelantik]

WOOOOOWWW... 1 & 3.. for Tinkof saxo boys...

 

[Publicus]

AC has a 2'+ lead and Kreuziger is on the podium!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Things just goes in Contador's way. First, Quintana not in form. Second, Porte is out.

I see, that not everybody is equally happy. Not like Porte could have done anything today, and Quintana definitely isn't in bad shape, just not top shape yet

 

[rhubroma]

What a masterpiece. In March, and with everything over the years, his is a class of old. Rare as is a gewel.

No July fantasists can touch that.

Is he doing LBL, because it is within his grasp.

Compared to Porte (arguably going to be his main challenger in the Giro) I'd say he's looking good.

[jens_attacks]

jens, how fast was lanciano?

we'll never know probably....

if someone can help me with the rai full broadcast recorded, gimme a private message. i will have the decency to pay you some beers if you have a bank account

LOL. the samething to say for Froome in oman. No one is on form either and contador and quintana aren't there. So there goes the same logic, which doesn't make sense.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The king is back!

 

[Afrank]

Rodriguez says hello

Got to see what he does in a race against the other two though. But I agree, Rodriguez, Porte, and Quintana are the main favorites for the Giro.

We watched the greatest cyclist of recent times show he might still just have it, wonderful day and a big deal. All these others have a long way to go before they achieve anything near what AC has done. At 32 he should be hitting his peak.

Ben?
