+10000Hitchey said:I'm not sure if they had radios or not during MSR. My guess is that either way, Gerrans had to have known that Goss was no longer in the front group going down the Poggio. That means that Goss and Nibali sat on Fabian's wheel for essentially all of over 8 km-then Gerrans jumped for the win.
Yes he reacted to Nibali's attack, but at least Nibali had Sagan sitting in who could take the sprint, which he did for 3rd.
What would Gerran's excuse for not taking more than a 1 or 2 pulls be?
Sitting in almost the entire time not doubt left more in the tank for his sprint. It would have probably been different if he worked with Fabian.
Yes he won, and I am a fan of his. But in my eyes, one might be thinking while sitting on for over 8 km that maybe there has to be SOME honor and he might just act like he couldn't take Fabian in the sprint and concede the win to someone who has been pulling him along for so long and arguably deserved it more?
If only cycling worked that way, I feel really bad for Canc because there was only one person who could have taken the victory away from the sprinters and that was canc that he managed such a feat was absolutely incredible.
people are saying that Nibali was disappointing because he could not put up a fight at the end. I dont think they understand how strong Canc was, Nibali was the strongest in tirreno but he had no chance against canc, whilst gerrans was evidently in superb form. Yet in terms of pure cycling what Canc did was amazing and surely deserved a medal or something, unfortunately life is not fair but it would be said to wish it so. so I say that its great to at least proclaim misery over such a robbery.
