[DAOTEC]

The 3rd of 4 laps over San Luca, 9km to go, Fuglsang and Hoogerland only a few hundred metres ahead of main field!

EDIT: DAOTEC, I am a cycling newsbreaker, not a thread maker!

OK, sorry mate ... good coverage by the way ... I am following your story on here

[Moondance]

[jens_attacks]

[auscyclefan94]

This is agonising!

 

[Moondance]

Gesink to take an unprecedented 3rd win for the season

Me = GENIUZ

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gesink wins! At least it wasn't ricco!

 

[DAOTEC]

Me = GENIUZ

why did I stay up to watch a race where there was no live feed, a race i don't care about and a race that cuddles was not in? Now gesink has won the dutchies are going to be so smug!

 

[Tuarts]

Congrats Gesink. Scarponi and Visconti were my tips when I looked at the start list. Nice to see one of them at least got a decent placing.

Good ride by Dan Martin too.

Why? Are we such smug celebrators?

As I recall there wasn't much smugness going around when Gesink won Montreal. Just polite happiness.

HOLLAND

[Moondance]

Well... That puts me in my place.

So much for earlier praising of Dutch sobriety.

Damn i missed this. Luckily there was no live stream so my regret factor will be down.

Wow on Gesink. Hes doing really well.

Liege bastogne Liege winner 2011. You heard it here first.

Waiting for someone to say "no TGBM will win LBL 2011

It's just a bit of fun, doubt acf cares much.

 

[Moondance]

I feel like reviving that silly "Robert Gesink is soft" thread from a few months back and gloating over the OP.

As i recall you wernt there for failing to take my advice. So we have a correlation between "presence of Moondance" and "annoyingness of Dutchies"

+ Dekker T was PEN1 on the forums for his Nibali "predictions" and was being attacked from all fronts.

With such lack of leadership, the Organizatsiya was weakened at that most crucial of moments.

This post seems like an anachronism. What "put you in your place"? Gesink won, enjoy it.

As good a time as any to do just that.

Why you gots to break my balls, paesano? I was doing a stint in the joint for the 'Famiglia' at the time.



It didn't stop me from observing though.

Saying Dutch people are sober celebrators and 60 secs later Sheep and AK do their posts....
