Considering i have been banned for actually nothing, the only thing i will say is: lol.

I was banned for a "lol" once. Some rider prone to crashing had crashed another time so only commented with a lol, meant to be like it's do bad you can just laugh about it.

Ok, but how's anybody supposed to read your mind regarding what you actually mean with a comment that on the surface is pretty distasteful?

True, hard to know. I just got used to replying "lol" almost exclusively when smth questionable happened, so it didn't cross my mind that somebody could actually take it in a completely different way, lol

Hard earned point for Pinot.

It will be raining cats and dogs all days, so Ackermann will win.

That aged well..

 

[geisterhome]

Hard earned point for Pinot.

Why would he even sprint for that. Seems he is in good shape and should be able to record a good chunks of points during the harder stages.

To prove he doesn't care about the jersey.

To prove he doesn't care about the jersey.

He could have just stayed in the break rolling through at the slow pace they were going and picked up 9 points without having to sprint instead of sprinting for 1 point - conclusive proof that he doesn't care about the jersey

What a bummer for Remco. already a crash on the 5th stage. Hopefully his pelvis won't be acting up the next days like in the Vuelta last year.

Enough of that Coldplay advert now Eurosport, thanks.

Imagine being the idiot who lets their dog run into the platoon of the GdI, and to top it off, it causes a crash that includes the world champion who is also one of the race favorites.

Some story to tell at the coffee break at work tomorrow

Aren't there a lot of stray dogs in Southern Italy?

Spoiler: NSFW

Or did Tiberi see to that?

You're just yellow.

 

[IndianCyclist]

This stage looks like its a recipe for a crash. Wet, flat, too many sprinters and with the earlier part not being raced hard, teams are full of energy.😟

A shaggy dog story?
perhaps

How are there too many sprinters in this race?

Some people just see problems everywhere, I guess.

Yeah, packs of stray dogs are a real problem in certain areas. People have told me that it's too dangerous to ride your bike around there because of them.

How’s anybody supposed to react to that other than just shrug? Distasteful? Please ...

IB4 it was a shepard dog who went after the Wolfpack.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I really wanna see Zoccarato on a team that rides more of the Belgian spring classics.

That's serious T-shirt material.

Yeah looks like a rider who would benefit from a different calendar.

I just recently saw there's a currently popular German rapper who uses the OmiOpi scene in one of his videos.

Roglic down!
