ENECO Tour Stage 2; TTT 18.9KM

[Fidolix]

TTT of saxo was really not good, maybe the wind has turned but I doubt it though.

It was terrible, it was obvious it didn´t "click", they didn´t go as a "unit", and Bertie was not to happy about the pace either. They have a week to get this right after Eneco, and they really need to.

But Bertie looks really sharp, - and hungry. Can´t wait till the Vuelta get started.

BMC big chute.

 

[Gloin22]

Ouch, BMC....

Hope Phinney is alright at least.

bmc, :ROFL: they are good comedic relief just like rabobank.

Don't forget yourself.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

They must have been on a pretty good time before the crash

Well, what can you say really about someone who think a crash is funny...

I'm sorry but only total *** can feel satisfaction/be happy when someone crashes.

And it is ok if the others are injured????

Susan

 

[Tom T.]

Yes, I'm sure he wishes all the others were hurt

 

[Gloin22]

And it is ok if the others are injured????

Susan

Where did I imply that ? ...

I just hoped Phinney was okay with already all the crashes he had this season + plus he was in good shape for good GC or results here.

Obviously I don't want anyone hurt....

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Then you should have said so. As you wrote it, it implied that as long as Phinney was ok, then it didn't matter what happened to the others.

Obviously my point wasn't clearly made.

It is not acceptable to laugh at crashes nor to indicate in any way that it is ok if someone is injured.

[Samson]

What happened to Astana? So poor...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

What happened to Astana? So poor...

well it is mainly a b team they got here + there is not many top class tters in the astana squad

 

[Goldberger]

Bit of an overreaction

 

[gustienordic]

Greenedge blew it apart. Wowzers.

Wait, but didn't they only win by a second?

Bit of an overreaction

In Susan’s defence some postings have been deleted (by Susan herself I would imagine) which remove the context in which her subtle comment was duly intended.

GreenEDGE takes it, BMC below Euskatel... man things just keep getting worse for BMC, crash or not.

PS: Unnecessary but so very true!

 

[ElChingon]

Looks like less than a second, 0.69 (of a second) to be exact.

Note from the ENECO website.

At the time I made that comment, Saxo Bank had the best time I believe. So by comparison, yes they blew it apart.

 

[Kwibus]

QSOP or Greenedge for the win.

I didn't even check Greenedge lineup.

Yay me!

 

[velosiped]

Chavanel will win this.

Good Lord! You owe Gloin22 an apology. Your reaction to this post:

Ouch, BMC....

is ridiculous. And now your "clarification" only makes you look more ridiculous. There was no way he was indicating it was OK that anyone was injured, so you are out of line here. He was merely expressing concern for Phinney. By your reasoning he should say something like "Gosh, I hope all 180 guys, including Taylor Phinney, are okay." Get over yourself.

Actually, Susan's reaction makes perfectly sense when you know the kind of posts that were deleted.
