LARS BAK

The least likely guy on a stage like this

Re:

Did you know Lars Bak actually won the Tour l'Avenir?
AS well as a medium mt stage in the Giro in the past

Maybe you have him pegged as a flat only guy but he's not that

But his level has declined the last couple of years.

Still doesn't make him "the least likely guy"

Even in his old age he's a much better uphill guy than the entire sprinter field.
Respect is needed.

Of course not. But in broccolidwarf's world, I think guy is equal to Dane, so...

He has spent most his pro career in the gruppetto on climbs.

Comparing him to the sprinters, on a pyrenees mountain stage, is not really relevant

Sagan to take a solo win?

I honestly do not know what you mean by that?

"guy is equal to Dane" - what does that even mean?

That when you write "least likely guy", you mean "least likely Dane" because they are the only ones you write about anyway.

That seems to bother you somehow

Of course it does and other posters have also called you out on that before.

This is not a Danish site.

I don't think Bak will win, but it is relevant. On the flat, it's very hard for a climbers to get into the break, so usually in stages like this the breakaway mostly consists of rouleurs and sprinters (and consequently, the winner doesn't need to be a first class climber)

Here's the solution buddy:

- Don't read my posts -

Have a nice tour

Another solution: you could stop yelling each time there is a Dane on the screen.

That would solve the problem for everybody, not just for me.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

It is starting to let up, this might be the break.......

Re:

Lol, Cummings has duly positioned himself at the back of the peloton already. Nice selection of him for the Tour squad!

Truly pathetic rider and selection.

I write about what interests me buddy, just like you do.
If what I write has no interest to you, ignore it.
That's how any discussion forum works.

- or to put it another way:

I don't care what you think about my writings

Everyone on this forum dislikes what Tobydawg just pointed out, yes, its very annoying...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

34 k of non-stop attacks.

Cool stage!

Wow, "everyone" - you should start a petition then :idea:

Meanwhile, I am very annoyed, when the belgian guys write about belgian riders.......... just saying

 

[spalco]

Sagan is still hanging out at the front, maybe really eager today.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

De Gendt is like:

"Screw you guys, I'm going home"

 

[Frosty]

Cummings has supposedly been ill for much of the tour, claims he is feeling better now.

Boy... am I glad this is my weekly day off!
