Oh god, fingerbang time... So embarrassing.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

i know a little belgium boy who just messed up his pants with that celebration.

 

[happychappy]

Nooooo not the fingerbang :/

 

[Moondance]

Contador:

 

[Publicus]

zzzz Bert why not wait another 6s for Porte's time to pass

He celebrated for a full KM and still beat Porte's time

 

[luckyboy]

Aw for ****s sake, I had Porte 3rd in my prediction game.

 

[luckyboy]

This time trial has sucked

 

[Publicus]

Is he crying?

 

[wirral]

"Whatever you think of him...." Harmon code......

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wow. An absolutely epic Giro for Contador. He was head and shoulders above the competition.

[Moondance]

Wow.... Rodriguez nearly gained a place in a TT. Would've been a novel feeling for him

Also, well done by Kreuzwijk. They did great

 

[saganftw]

menchov fail,contador would have won TT

good giro overall,i hope they pay contador next year to not show up

 

[The Sheep]

So what teams didnt get a stage?

 

[hoolaparara]

Menchov a mediocre top 10.

An almost perfect specimen of the top 10 achieved by finishing 15th on every stage.

 

[Cobblestoned]

It's over

Congrats to David, Alberto, Stefano, Roman and Astana !

 

[Lanark]

Menchov a mediocre top 10.

An almost perfect specimen of the top 10 achieved by finishing 15th on every stage.

If Menchov hadn't participated in this Giro, nobody would have noticed, the guys behind him would just be one place higher.

 

[Spare Tyre]

108 WW on the roof of the podium.

 

[Sneekes]

menchov fail,contador would have won TT

good giro overall,i hope they pay contador next year to not show up

I think it's a little unfair to Millar and Rasmussen to assume that. We'll never know for sure.

So what teams didnt get a stage?

Aqua BMC Colnago Geox Quickstep Katusha Radioshack sky Vacan

 

[Granville57]

Universal showing highlights of all of Contador's attacks.

 

[luckyboy]

Jeez, we don't even get to see the podiums? ****ing hell

 

[Granville57]

Universal showing highlights of all of Contador's attacks.

...there's quite a few.

 

[Flamin]

Hands down for Alberto. Wondering how deep he actually went (or properly, how deep he didn't go) to win this Giro.

Great last 2 days from Purito, taking and holding 5th. Pretty disappointing throughout the Giro, but he showed a lot of grinta yesterday and in today's TT.
