Domenico Pozzovivo appreciation thread

[Logic-is-your-friend]

And when you look at the first post, you'll see that it was started after his crash at the Giro back in 2015. Basically a "is he gonna be okay?" thread that eveloped into a more regular rider thread.

Please have a mod change your name to "partypooper".

Gotta hand it to the topic title. No bull's-hit, just "Pozzovivo".

Puzzovivo is the next Pozzovivo was an option years ago

You're the one who prefers one-word thread titles. The title of this thread could have been something cool like Pozzovivo is a New Colombian, Despite the Fact that he is in Fact Actually Italian.
Basically, I just came up with a logic explanation for the simplistic title.

Or "The new Bilbao (except for lame-ass non-time trialing, non-witchy people (who still have their citizenship), he's actually older than him)".

"Hey guys, great party! But what's that smell?!"
* everybody looks at RedheadDane *

Keep digging your own grave!

(kisses)

(I don't really prefer simple titles, just thought it was kind of cool and refreshing, as a statement, even if it wasn't a statement)

I don't burn people on the stake for being time-trialers. It's the time-travellers I have an issue with. (And nobody is gonna a bit of this...)

Come up with a cool title then. Simply using the rider's name does not a cool title make, even if the rider has a rather cool/unique name (I suppose a thread simply named "Bennett" could cause some confusion.

At least you haven't both been wished burned to death and ostracised from your country.

Bah, I'm so damaged from this cycling overdose we're having.

 

[BlueRoads]

some ideas for short titles:
"The Short Pozzovivo Thread"
"Pozz Is Now Posh"
"Pozzovivo Is a Living Well"
"Domenico Fan Thread"
"DomPozz"
"DP"
"Pozzovivo from Policoro"
"Pozzovivo - a long story in a short body"
"Pozzovivo - A Tale of Many O's"

Sorry, that superpower was lost with the forum change.

And no I can also not call myself party pooper.

I would be a bit busy if I had to burn every time-trialer on the stake!

Maybe it's next to the other button you haven't found yet.

Pozzo will visit Pozzonovo tommorrow.

Turns out that he had a nasty infection in his left elbow (the one with the Titanium plates) because of the crash during the Tour.
That really had a big impact durning the 2nd half of the Giro, he wasn't able to put on jackets on the long descents because of lack of mobility in that arm. Yesterday he had a 3 hour long operation, the infection probably would have caused Gangrene very soon.

Cyclists are a different breed man, that's ridiculous.

He's also someone who's always climbing out of the saddle, so an elbow injury is reall bad for him.
Still finished 19th the final TT, super impressive.

In a recent interview he actually said TTs were the worst stages for his elbow because of the position, so his performances are even more impressive.
The surgery was supposed to take place mid-november anyway, but they anticipated it since the elbow was in really bad shape.

Footballers (rugby) and Cyclists play with some of the most oppressive and brutal injuries, Im whinging about a cut

Cuts are okay on their own. However, these days... with all the hand sanitizer we have to use...

Robo-Pozzovivo is no more!
After a few more surgeries Mimmo says he's now finally titanium-free

 

[geisterhome]

What a good ride yesterday.

 

[Lequack]

I am glad he is still continuing racing, even all the accidents he has had.

I'm impressed!
Not only did you manage to find an 8-year-old thread. You also managed to not find this newer thread, which is actually the one in the directory:

Pozzovivo | Cyclingnews Forum

You're like a reverse toby; you find threads people have completely forgotten about!

Oh man I am bad at this.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey, mods. Maybe you could... merge the two threads.
Just put the entire content of the other thread in between the old 2014 post and the new posts.
