Re:

i feel that alberto doesn't like richie at all
he will let anyone else win but not him on montjuic. he will let even valverde !
it will be very hard for team sky in giro, alberto being liked to the moon by the likes of aru and other italians. a lot if alliances will be made.
anyway, crazy race. i never saw this happening, i still know jackshiit about cycling.

I think you are spot on

 

[wirral]

Kruijswijk in the break as the best on G.C. @ 4'25". Will the race turn on its head again?

Alberto Conador is not petty and going around disliking people for no reason....He is not a contributor to this forum !!!...In fact one of his best qualities is his class as a person.....Yesterday was because Valverde wining was better for Contador for one and second he probably couldn't follow Valverde for two...(Valverde is a bit of an animal at present and he is going to ride RVV and he will be 35 in a few weeks ...emmm???)

After the stage into Gap in 2013 when Contador came off and then rode alongside Quintana and gesticulated to him for not waiting for him ( and Froome) Valverde went round to the TCS bus and remonstrated with Contador ...can't see why he should suddenly be his best friend now

These are professional cyclist and everything they do is about their own winning...not about 'liking' one above the other... And it will be the same in the Giro ...alliances will be for self gain only not because a bunch of Italians like one rider above another

You are transferring personal prejudices on to riders ...ridiculous

Tinkoff Saxo @tinkoff_saxo
Seems to be a stomach flu in #VoltaCatalunya - wish our guys a swift recovery @ivanbasso, @jesushernandez3 @mickrogers @majkaformal

Peloton is not letting the break go. 2'30" after 60km.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Solid racing again.
Looking forward to the live video.

These riders are humans and have likes and dislikes like all of us. I think jens was spot on with what he said. Sky is not very popular in the peloton.

Aru will probably be on an application ride for Sky at the Giro!

Alberto is Aru's idol so I doubt Aru will side with Sky against Contador.

hmmm no,just no.
indurain was absolutely freaking class, the absolute class but still in 1994,luz ardiden stage if i'm not wrong, he went full mobster and chased by himself with some 150 km to go a breakaway because it contained de las cuevas, who once was his domestique but left him for another team. indurain chased the breakaway in maillot jaune like lance did with simeoni. mob shiit. retaliation, ice t great song.
personally, i'm no sky hater at all but everyone knows that many riders in the peloton don't like them, especially the italians and eastern bloc.
we'll see in giro. all the best to richie and alberto
tomorrow montjuic will be great

Why those in particular? I would have guessed Spanish (because of Froome) and French (seeing cycling power shift to Anglo countries).

 

[Dazed and Confused]

117km in now, gap 3:40

Big chance for the yellow Lotto outfit methinks.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

This looks like a perfect opportunity for Alaphilippe.

Movistar should ride both stages as hard as possible and try to get some bonus seconds for Valverde.

If that was a deliberate follow-on, then you have a career in 1970s comedy ahead of you.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Crash at the back of the peloton on a wide, open flat road.

QS with their stupid tactics again. I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed this one up as well.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Damn, that was exciting.
Great stuff from Chernetskii.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great finale! Alaphilippe was mighty strong, but once again bad tactics cost QS the victory.

Re: Re:

Sure, this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

I don't think these guys will be friends in the future and you can add J.Rod in the mix.

I think Piti and Purito get along well enough and Purito and Berto too.. but Piti & Berto, no. Don't think they hate each other but they are not friends.

Purito and Bala don't get along anymore for a long time. They are more enemies then friends.
Alberto gets alomg with both of them fine. I have never noticed any hostilities between them.
