April 29th, Tour de Romandie - Stage 3: Thierrens - Neuchatel, 165.7 km

I'm quite surprised to read that about Wiggins all of sudden. Things must have gone rather badly if his DS's feel the need to go public about it. It's not even ambiguous statements, hell, he went out of his way to point out this isn't the first time; those comments are very damning.

Got a link?

 

[boomcie]

i am just joking but wow how lame, some mods really need to take teh chill pill <_<

Second that.

How did your Rui Costa prediction fare by the way?

 

[hrotha]

Got a link?

Uh, the link's right there, a few posts above.

 

[Parrulo]

amazingly well

his day its tomorrow!!1 you will see

Ahh, skimming through the fighting. Missed it, my bad.

 

[Cobblestoned]

He came 3rd in PN. That is a very good result, even if the course was a bit crap

Also this is a guy who strongly believes that the Tour is absolutely everything

On a team with a guy Henderson, who is on record saying Paris Nice is bigger than il Giro and la Vuelta.

Well see at the tdf how good he is.

But Wiggo should please come to the Tour with having some substance left to use.
That was frightening to see him going into the Tour like this.

 

[Angliru]

lol Vino what a joke ... once a cheater always a cheater ...

Does that apply to Kim Anderson too?

 

[Angliru]

actually the vino/cherel sprint reminded me of the Gesink/Evans sprint in the Vuelta 2009

And also Dekker/Anton in Romandie 07

You mean the one where Evans went spastic and tore into Gesink after crossing the line, all because the barriers weren't sent up evenly? Yeah, those were the days.

 

[Angliru]

Well, I guess it will all come down to the tt.

Is that final bit all uphill?

 

[Bavarianrider]

Is that final bit all uphill?

The offical map is a bit misleading amd wrong,. Just look how the lines and the heights are not corect to each other. Here's a accurate profile

 

[Bavarianrider]

This will be a rather long 20km TT.
The average speed won't be much above 45km/H

 

[FabulousCandelabra]

wtf did Cherel take the left side of Vino to sprint on?? what a dufus

 

[greenedge]

It's ironic. Also Cherel could have still won i thought. I don't know if Evans can pull off the win now, as Martin and Vino have good form. Think he shall get on the podium. Poor Brutt a few more yrs then you can go well.

 

[Ryaguas]

Did someone hack into your account.

Because that is real irony.

The guy who spent his first month on the forum quoting every post he sees and adding "thats what she said" despite the fact that 99% of the time it was a non sequitor that made absolutely no sence, complains that someone else is "overdoing it"

At least Parrulos images are different every time whereas "thats what she said" is always the same.

And however unfunny you find Parrulos images, they are far more enjoyable to look at then the "Rujano farting" cd cover you felt a need not only to make, but also repost, but which most 5 year olds would struggle to giggle at.

The Hitch on attack mode!

Vino is god! just that...
I can see Vino taking 2 or 3 stages in Le Tour...

 

[Winterfold]

Pretty damning comments from Sean Yates.

I find it hard to believe he does anything other than tell it like it is...

Pretty lame attack at that, with a few inaccuracies. Not hugely appreciated by yours truly. But heck, it's The amazing Hitch, right?

I might use this profile and the official one for the tt thread.

If it does, then that should hint a longer break before TdF.

I think that is a possibility.

 

[myrideissteelerthanyours]

I am kind of disappointed by the lack of passionate debate about vino's move towards the barriers in today's finish. yeah, it was no big deal but cant people make a big stink anyways?

Oh well, the stage was fun to watch and Im getting super psyched for the giro even though this race doesnt feel (to me) like much of a prelude to the GT the way it usually does.

TGTH (the great the hitch!)

Lame attack? He went full artillery tho... hahahahahaha
Hitch is like Libertine or Angliru... when they are in attack mode they put the whole artillery to work hahaha

 

[Nearly]

Looks like a good punchy TT course for Cadel especially with that finish. Not sure why he is not the clear favourite. Will be interesting to see what Vino can pull out though - I would not like to be between him and the win (let alone the barrier - but poetic justice for Cherel after the previous stage).

 

[boomcie]

Don't see how full artillery is a good thing. It was uncalled for and totally out of line. Also the guy reeks of pretentiousness.

Don't offend them.

Lol this reminds me of what I told my dad once: "Stop insulting me, you idiot!"

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Hey go easy on him he's Belgian. That's tough enough as it is.

Hey let's not make fun of our lack of a government
