A NEW ERA HAS DAWNED.

With an EXPLOSIVE jump from 4th wheel today, the young Italian SHOT past a HELPLESS Cavendish to STEAL the 18th Giro Stage, and the Manxman's CROWN as KING OF SPEED. The END OF THE WORLD Champion's career? Well ULTIMATELY, YES!!!??!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????!??!!!!1


The picture - straight thievery from some guy's blog via a google search. Hope he doesn't mind =)
 
We need a thread like this to survive 'til tomorrow. :)

Great, great sprint by Guardini today. Never seen Cavendish beaten so straight in a long time. Maybe he got tired by the intermediate sprint? :confused:
 
i don't think any1 has beaten cav this convincingly since probably 2008.

but guardini still has a long way to go. And i don't see a better way to start his way to the top then getting a nickname, the yellow flash? lighting bolt? suggestions are accepted :p

The thread is tounge in cheek, but this win does mark Guardini's arrival in the top tier. Still not many who have ever beaten Cav mano a mano.

He will be unstoppable in downhill stages under 150km for years and years to come.

A downhill stage is simply an uphill stage in reverse, so those posters who don't like flat sprinters' stages will be happy.

Good thinking, I was trying to make one along the lines "Lamguardini" or 'Lambordini".

What's his hometown?

Cavendish is peeing in his pants at the prospect of handing over his prematurely given Olympic Gold medal when he will be humiliated by Guardini:D

No way, too hard.
