Robert Gesink needs to toughen up (if you use that crash in Tour 2010 as an excuse), believes Ivan Basso.

Actually, beware [with dracula accent] Now picture this, a Liquigas train with a rider who likes to attack. Are you scare yet?Ryo Hazuki said:don't worrie. we'll see that just like the kreuziger failure we predicted
Dekker_Tifosi said:6th place. I don't discount contador like others

Dekker_Tifosi said:i see the liquigas climbers, and i raise you mollema and kruijswijk how's that for support
Sounds good, can't wait to see it actually. I want to see Gesink giving all his got and see what happens.Dekker_Tifosi said:i see the liquigas climbers, and i raise you mollema and kruijswijk how's that for support

Referring to a Pole with a German surname as "SS" has to be wrong.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:none of them can do a SS tho.
LTD has had his moments as a very good domestique tho.

El Pistolero said:Clearly directed at theyoungest who totally dismisses Ivan Basso's injuries and then uses Gesink's injuries as an excuse like always.
My god, you Dutch are uptight when it's about Gesink.
Gesink needs to toughen up, believes Contador who won the Giro with a fractured elbow.
I said close. I don't believe Contador was all that bad in that Tour, but I agree that if Contador is at his best, no one can climb with him. But this was about Nibali and Schleck being in the same bracket, which I highly doubt.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:sorry I agree with this.
Contador is a true champion (and I dont agree with youngest that schleck is in a similar level in the mountains, regardless of 10' tour), but I suppose that is a whole different discussion

anyway it is clear pickle is just trolling, surely no one can be this thick right
theyoungest said:It reminds me of what people said after Basso won the Giro, and we've seen last year how close he was in the Tour...
