Really! I've been betting on live cycling for years. It can be a nice wee cash winner...Paddy Power btw..Valv.Piti said:Wait, are you able to bet live on cycling? I have never come across a bookmaker who offered that?

This is funny to me coming from you. I've always thought of you as one of the most nationalistic posters on this forum. Now, I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing. I certainly don't dislike you in any way and I enjoy your posts, it's just that we can ALWAYS count on you to make a comment on whatever Dutch rider performed unexpectedly, underperformed, overperformed, showed promise, had a mechanical, finished 5th, 25th, whatever, no matter the race.Dekker_Tifosi said:Try watching the Tour on NOS with 'Where is Gesink!?!?!?!' -commentator Dijkstra.

You can be happy when a compatriot wins, just as you can be proud of the country you live in. However, it starts getting **** up when you see your country as 'better' than another one. Or when it makes somebody more relevant or important. Or when they see a reality that isn't there.
That said, Dumoulin and Kruiswijk are totally gonna 1-2 this Giro
Giggs: Thanks.
lol, nicely done.StryderHells said:Colbrelli or Ulissi for the win and Astana to race it hard
Then I am seriously stupid. Im mainly using using bet365, along with Unibet, for this Giro. I even have a freaking odds blog.rune1107 said:I found out that Bet365 offers it tooferryman said:Really!

I think that we did not watch the same race then. It even looks that you are ironic since Landa was so mispositioned on the last climb. Moreover Id say that Nibali, Dumoulin or Valverde gave me more a safe feeling than Majka. Astana and Movistar are (were at least today and even on paper) just way ahead Tinkoff. Im not contesting Landa for the win, Im contesting your observation from today.Broccolidwarf said:I am looking at how they look on the bike, in the climbs, and how they positioned themselves in the peloton today... not how they finished the stage.... obviously.Brullnux said:Surely that's not just based on today, else Lands wouldn't win and Majka wouldn't be second, and Nibali in the top 5. Based on today Fugslang should win with Bala and Nibali just behind. Fugslang to top5 with Nibali winning.Broccolidwarf said:My prediction for top 5, after seeing them go up hill a bit:
Landa
Majka
Valverde
Dumoulin
Fuglsang
I do not think Nibali has it currently
I might have overreacted about Landa ability. I just mean that until today he has not done poorly but not extremely good neither. His climbing goat abilities clearly ensure him an advantage in high mountains but the fact is he might lose several minutes on the more allrounder GC contenders aka Nibs, Valverde or Zakarin.They are not sharper than Landa, Landa did a very good ITT for his capacity, but in the past Landa could won in Neila orr Bondone, but he lost big time in stages like today. He didnt lost time, and he dont have such a big team as Nibali, so it is ok. If Landa dont lose tome in thiss kind of stages he is day by day more favourite. He can get big time in a really hard stage. They need to put Landa at 15 minutes to dont worry about him...

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. But I agree with you on the first part. I just watched the race and I have no clue what the other forum members saw on Birdsong today.

Nationalism is one of the worst traits, both on this forum, in politics and in sports. It can really ruin a broadcast for me when the hype is getting too real, its disgusting frankly.

It's really simple. Landa didn't look too good TODAY, but he should still do well later in the race.Broccolidwarf said:You are not not contesting Landa for the win, but yet find me saying he will win wrong?Krokro said:I think that we did not watch the same race then.

Ok then
You might very well think differently.... the great thing is, that one of us will be proven wrong, soon![]()

So, I was watching the top 20 GC contenders and remarking on something I noticed..... all that other crap you are reading into it, says more about you than me, fortunately![]()
