The ending sprint by foliforov was cool. Reminds me of good ol times that paradoxically are yet to come toi.

Taara gonna lose a huge amount

Oh, well that makes it normal, then. A training camp can turn any non-climbing tt specialist into a mountain beast.
No, really. Just ask this man.

What does a 4th place in l'Avenir mean then? Look at who's in front of him... Lopez and Power are good climbers too.

Maybe there is a different Foliforov you are talking about?

he's done nothing in the climbs as a pro
sure he had some results as an amateur. so did kritskiy.
What nonsense is this. So all U23-results are meaningless. :eek: Above all, it's his second year as a pro. And he was already 15th at Ruta del Sol.

Firsanov was even stopped by the Tinkoff-car going up the climb.

Let's hope there'll be no problems when the really important riders go up. With all the cars, motos, and fans one could fear so.

So was Slagter. So was Jaco Venter. So was Gilbert.
As a pro he's been nowhere. Even in this very Giro.

Until today he's done nothing all season. Suddenly he's a rocket man. It's really funny.
