Re: Giro d'Italia 2015: Stage 5: La Spezia – Abetone 152 kms
I also thought that's not the happiest Berto, almost a confused look in the earliest seconds. Not about the form, just about the pink.

he seems happy though. He is on tv now.

Re:
LOL. But thank God, enough with Orica keeping the pink and not being able to control the breakaway. So might as well, TS take the jersey and control the race. But don't know if that's a good idea to have earlier jersey now.

Oh Contador, If only English was as easy as climbing mountains. I have to say he's improved though.
Re:
Oh yes, i think it's fun to see him have some decent form again, hope for a top 10 in the end for him

Re: Giro d'Italia 2015: Stage 5: La Spezia – Abetone 152 kms
indeed the Giro is shaping up into a great race
Perhaps Contador isn't that happy taking the Maglia Rosa too early to overload his team with heavy duties at this point- he may let it go by the end of this week and then recapture it towards the end of the 2nd week.
I'm really, really pleased with ARU- he's dead serious about challenging Contador.
Porte? - great response, looks sharp- BUT let's see what happens in the next stages.
overall- great stage

Post-stage interview with Alberto in English , somehow I've never seen it before, or maybe this is the first I can understand

Re:
Porte always looks good though I think, even when he's about to crack. Like Nibali and Quintana.Cance > TheRest said:

Is just not good enough anymore... 29th on this finish is just really bad.

Re:
Understandably so. Those three guys are on a whole different level than the rest.

Porte actually looked to be in a bit of a struggle near the end. He was breathing very heavily, rather than his typical closed mouth. Just my insight though
Another thing: I'm so happy to see Amador back to a good level. Very exciting and likeable rider IMO, but has had way too much bad luck already.
Re: Re:
Unless only he passed Chavanel right on the line, so that he got 6, Chavanel 4, Contador/Porte 0.

Re:
Yep, that's what he said…! I dunno, maybe a lost in translation thing. I think he's got an edge to find, but I Aru looked like he was struggling to me. Not sure how much Porte had left in him, to be honest. Didn't have much of a dig, really.

Re:
I do too, the pressure in Belgium on him is just not normal. But the critics have a point. His salary is not exactly on the same level as his performances. I don't think he will be riding with Lotto anymore next year.
