It's going to be so much fun watching you eat your words

It will be much more entertaining if you have to eat your words. You are being way to cocky way to early, The last week of the tour is still 6 weeks away...

Wow we found an even worse troll than BavarianRider. This one goes straight to the ignore list.

Yes but this one uses smilies

C'mon.. what's the point of doing that?

 

[El Pistolero]

Sky fans are getting unbearable my God...

 

[virandociclista]

Jesus Christ, if Wiggins wins the Tour this forum is going to be unbearable.

Wiggins is a mediocre descender. Not terrible, but not good by any stretch of the imagination. IT'S ALRIGHT. Every rider has their weaknesses.

Agreed.. 10char

 

[maltiv]

Luis Leon Sanchez should be a good bet for the stage at this point. Probably the fastest rider left in the group?

 

[goggalor]

Is Wilco still there?

 

[Fetisoff]

Sky fans are getting unbearable my God...

Almost can't wait till the Andy fans show up closer to July just to dilute this madness

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

C'mon.. what's the point of doing that?

Because of this

Sky fans are getting unbearable my God...

Cheer up! At least we aren't in April anymore otherwise we would have to listen about how Thomas and Hayman would have won Roubaix and Ronde this year if they didn't have to work for Flecha

 

[will10]

Machado in front

All bets are off, we know he will win.

Remember, Nordhaug would've won Amstel.

Not could've, would've.

 

[goggalor]

Can't see Sky being strong enough to shut Lulu's move down after all that. It's very impressive if they can do it though.

Edit: Actually, I can see it. Porte looks strong!

Check the general news thread, one of the last pages. I think the last.

Is this a one day race its really full on.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Wiggins lost 1 minute on the last descend, just because he wasn't dropped here that doesn't make him a good descender

Wiggins 'lost' a minute because they didn't chase it down. Once they did it came straight back.


Sort of like how some people think Cadel tried to nearly get caught yesterday.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Almost can't wait till the Andy fans show up closer to July just to dilute this madness

Lets hope he does and we will see a good race .After all its the only race he bothers with.

 

[saunaking]

All this descending talk is hilarious. As if its going to matter.

I don't know if Wiggins is going to win the tour, but if he loses it wont be because of descending.

Stuff that will matter more than descents-
ITT
Climbs
Concentration
Luck
Nutrition
Solar Flares
etc
etc

Yep, THEY (UK postal) chased it down for him. So if he's got no more team on a multi-col stage, and loses minute on the descent, he's ****.ED, isn't he?

I don't think it's him, the commentator said is Tiego Makado Probably a Japanese rider.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Anyone who likes a rider you don't like is unbearable when that rider wins - this forum never changes.

 

[maltiv]

Apparently the new "cool" is to do nothing at all on the climbs and only attack on the descends

 

[Bavarianrider]

Yeah guys.
Can't watch it.
Is Tony in the main group?

 

[spalco]

So, what's the situation? I've only been able to follow the action with one eye at work.

Gruppo compatto again or Evans/Nibali still in front of Sky?
