Re: Re:

A racist and an actual fascist in the winning group.

Who is a fascist?

10 years ago Rojas said in an interview that he liked history. He was asked which historical character he's most interested in and h answered "Franco fascinates me", without saying what he thought of Franco's views.

This being the internet, it's been turned into him standing on a podium shouting that the spanish nationalist party should be in power.

He's never talked about it since so no idea if he's a fascist or just interested in Franco's life.

Your memory is incorrect. In replying to one of those little rider questionnaires, he described Franco as the person he admired most. It was not an interview and it was not ambiguous.

Thankfully his leeching performance will not be rewarded today. I can't believe he got away without giving a turn even when Valverde was out of it entirely.

Headwind sprint 101

 

[Carols]

YES!!!!! Phil Gil perfect!!!

And Tiz cycling never dropped once in 50+KM !

 

[Flamin]

What a sprint. Kwiat a bit too early

 

[DFA123]

Great sprint by Gilbert. Kwiatkowski went way too early.

 

[Saint Unix]

what the actual f**k is even Gilbert? Dude is in the form of his life, 2011 included.

 

[glassmoon]

QS = PG
basically

 

[PremierAndrew]

Where were you on the day that Michal Kwiatkowski made a tactical error?

Sprinting from 300m in a headwind in a two-up sprint, cost him the win

 

[sir fly]

Phil outfoxed Kwiakto.

Re:

I don't understand Gilbert's tactics. Does he really think he can beat Kwiatkowski in a sprint?

I saw this earlier and chuckled. You might reserve judgement the next time you call out a professional cyclist's tactics :lol:

 

[Arredondo]

Phil really looks in 2011 shape again! Sensational ride!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Fabulous finish to a great race.

 

[Simurgh]

Well deserved victory! Kwiat opened unfortunately for him, too early

 

[trucido]

Michal Sagan.

 

[Red Rick]

Very good race

The sprint intellect of riders in big classics this year is staggering. And not in a good way.

 

[Screecher]

Phil didn´t outfox anyone. Kwiat really screwed that up.

 

[therealthing]

Ugh.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What the hell was Kwiatkowski doing? He should have waited 100 or even 200 more meters.

 

[jaylew]

Way too early from Kwia. Phil is Mr. Amstel Gold.

You're not talking about the same thing.
Don't assume he's only ever spoken to one media outlet in his life.

 

[The Barb]

Why so early Kwiatkowski? Blew it horrifically.

Yes, he really does...

This is gonna be my new signature.

Lol

 

[spalco]

Excellent win for Gilbert, but he definitely owes Kwiatkowski a beer.

And lol at Rojas.
