What will gertie bertie do if he's dropped by Porte at the Giro ? Pack it in and concentrate on the tour ?

You can spin as much as you want and the way you wish, but you know what I'm talking about.

If you say so.

He'll take the time loss and kick Porte's ass in the third week.

Re: Re:

Not even breathing, the guy in the back looks similar to porte

He's still quite top heavy, our Berto

You are joking. As a 'smaller' man myself, that's as pretty much good as it gets power/weight loss wise on the bike..trust me..he is ready..

Maybe... I don't understand why he never seems to lose weight on his upper body.. only his legs get smaller..

 

[Jack_89]

I expected him on Campitello Matese for the first stage win

Top heavy picture leaning forward. His legs will be as big as his shoulders..trust me...all is good with your boy

I wasn't talking about just that picture

his legs look strangely thin for those of a pro cyclist, and he could easily look 3-4kg of excess muscle and fat on his upper body
there are even more unflattering pictures but I refuse to post them

Re: Re:

Lolwut?? Both Froome and Bertie look kinda average to me. Froome looks a little like ET though.

well yes they are both not incredibly handsome, I just think Berto has something women find attractive I don't know how else to explain the number of fangirls he has

Maybe. But of "the big 4", I'm pretty sure most would go with Nibali. The Italians and Spanish are just better looking in general. Better skin, better quality of the hair (they are not balding), always able to grow a full beard, no british teeth.

I don't know, I haven't found as many Nibali fangirls on social media, but then again I haven't really searched all that well either I think Nibali and Alberto are pretty even objectively

Stop trolling please

 

[SeriousSam]

Seems like laforecita prefers spidery thin arms and upper bodies. I know a cyclist or two who have achieved this, but this is probably not the thread to post them.

trolling mh?

Oh, I don't mind him this way, I just doubt his body shape is beneficial for his cycling performance

Uran certainly not looking good in Romandie! Looks like Giro will be between Bertie - Richie - Aru

Well still a week to go, and the mountains in the first two weeks aren't that hard. He could be in pink when they enter the 3rd week - after the ITT ofc.

Well, you may be right. But I still believe that Bertie will use early stages (Abetone, Campitello Matese) to gain time on Uran, if Uran enters the Giro in his current shape.

It's your imagination. His legs are no thinner than most of his grand tour gc rivals. Actually Froome's and Wiggins at height of grand tour contending years are/were thinner looking to me.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Maybe it's the huge upper body that makes his legs look super thin

Re:

I think you've gone a bit bonkers, LaFlo. Short of extracting a rib or two or perhaps filing down a shoulder blade here and there, he can't lose much more at this point. He's got a GT to get through. He's going to look like a cadaver by the end of it if he loses much more now. God forbid he has limbs like Froome or Wiggins, because they are horribly skeletal to me. Better being lean, balanced and healthy than an aetiolated skeleton as far as I'm concerned.

Just you wait !. Giro win coming up !
