Is that certain? Nibali being second on the climb.
According to the live ticker, yes.
They are on equal points, but apparently Cort is better on the tiebreaker.

Yes. They are tied at points but Cort has two summits. Nobody told Nibs that it doesn't matter anymore if Cort takes all points.Is that certain? Nibali being second on the climb.
Jesus, that is some serious form!
Nice one for Colbrelli.
But it's not exactly unheard of that riders take it easy after being active the previous day.
Well, the opposite isnt something extraordinary either. The gc riders do it day after day over three weeks, I think we can expect professional cyclists to be able to handle to or three tough stages in a row
GC riders, yes... something neither of those two are, at least in this particular race. Would it have been super disappointing if two domestiques - the day after one spent a significant amount of time in the break, and the other won the stage - decided (or were told) to take it easy?
Probably not but I still dont understand your pointGC riders, yes... something neither of those two are, at least in this particular race.

Why are you acting as though they are just common pack fodder?
Asgreen won the stage yesterday yes, but I don't think he expended much more energy than the other riders who contested the finale.
Probably not but I still dont understand your point
Edit: or rather, I just disagree
It turned out to be a much better race than the parcours suggested, probably to everyone’s satisfaction except for Pascal Ackermann.
German (cycling) media was really creaming about the race. According to them especially the course was, contrary to what I believe, smth like the best ever created, not too easy not too difficult, completely unpredictable.
I don't agree with that take at all, I feel it was pretty predictable, 3 sprints in 4 days, one mini breakaway finish, the same type of rider won every day, well except for that breakaway.
But what did I expect, german media being critical just isn't a thing lol. Can't imagine those guys believe into what they are saying
Seems like he intended or thought he was editing the original message, but was quoting himself instead. Would anybody really start quoting him/herself in order to blow up his/her post count? To what end? And there would be many better ways to do it as well.Did you just make a post, and then quote it? Not trying to artificially blow up your post-count?

The more posts you have the better person you are and the higher chance you'll go to heaven.Sorry for that double post, I tried to correct my initial post yes. Anyways why would I try to improve my point score, what is it good for? Certainly I won't ever make it far to the top as I just joined the forum and many of you guys are way ahead. And if I managed to get a top score what benifit would I have?
