hmmm. absolutely nothing that i have said is clinic-related.

the fact that you have inferred something i did not intend says much more about your own sub-conscious beliefs in the state of cycling and what you just watched than mine.

Let me repeat that at this moment I am absolutely euphoric!

You're funny or you think folks can't read the implications of your posts. Seriously dude, take it to the clinic.

My only hope now is that Contador misses his peak and Valverde bosses Le Tour.

so point hoping for that. AC is truly back to his old self.
TdF is for AC to lose now, not for others to win.


Valv did a great TT by his standards. but he failed to cover the gap in the 2 mountain stages.

The way you've responded to my post speaks a lot about your understanding and explanation of Contador's performance today. A lot more than it's written in my comment.
Thank you.

Get a life dude, your comments are pathetic, and has nothing to do with the race or cycling. It´s just plain stupidity and that you are being biased is so transparent. so please just go away and save us for more BS. Thank you.

He holds on to the points leader jersey, right? Thats something (I guess)

Kwaito was just 5 pts behind him in points.
so how many points for coming 3rd in TT stage?

AWESOME!!!

Froome is probably changing his underwear as we speak :cool:

Also god damn it Costa, had you worked for Cunego he might have saved his podium place :mad: :rolleyes:

Froome will probably want to put underwear on top of his shorts if he wants to beat bertie in this kind of form ;-)

Valverde and Contador seemed about equal in the mountain stages and now he manages to lose the podium? Damn.

He's a natural talent, but seems to take things way too easy.

Thank you.

I think it has more to do with the fact that you are in the wrong place. The Clinic is there for a reason.

Working for Cunego, even though he wouldn't be able to defend his position in today's TT, would certainly be more rewarding and useful than constantly droping for no reason other than selfishness and rest. At least he could have come out of this race with his head up straight knowing he did something for his team. Instead he prefered to ride his own way from the moment his personal goals here in PV went down the toilet in stage one.

Where did you see a clinic related line in my comment?
That was their interpretation.
And I've pointed exactly that.

Trabalhar para aquecer, mais vale morrer de frio.

Only an idiot works for no results. Cunego dropped out of the top 10 so let's drop the pointless morals talk

He is the opposite of Rodriguez, who is more eager and stubborn. But he is not built to be an all-rounder and lose races based on his tiny physiology.

Valverde is better suited to be an all-rounder, but his mental focus seems weaker.

Well now we can hope christmas coming on July :D We finally will see a proper battle

“Alberto is simply super strong at the moment. He rode elegantly, regularly and with enormous power in the pedals. We knew that he was the best climber here and today he demonstrated that he’s one of the very best time trialists as well finishing only 7 seconds behind the world champion. For Alberto this is another boost of confidence which he needed before going home training to prepare for the Tour de France”, said a very happy Mauduit.

How? Cunego finished 1'22" off the podium. Costa could do nothing about today's times, so he would have had to ensure Cunego was 82 seconds ahead of Peraud this morning. But to do that, he would have neen 46 seconds ahead of Contador overnight. Are you really claiming that Costa could have delivered that?

I see you can do math . . . but bro . . . do you even read?

It was clearly sarcasm directed at BigMac

It's a matter of respecting his teammates in order to get their respect. I mean, since Cunego didn't stand a chance at the overall why simply not leave him alone to his fate? What were those idiots Serpa and co. doing there with him until the final climbs? He was (is) disrespectful.
