Yates deserves it for the way he has taken this race on

Re: Re:

Yates looks very good but remember the best after him is Pozzo

So at nearly 36 Pozzo is second best so in reality how good is Yates or how bad are the others

Yes, good point. I'm not sure Yates is suddenly on another level, I think he's just the best of a not amazing bunch.

Rode the Osimo climb faster than Gewiss 1994.
Zoncolan half a minute faster than 2010 Basso

I'd say he's plenty strong

Re:

Yates is from another dimension. The deserved winner of the Giro. He will win 3 stages more next week

What`s the secret ? Cadence ? Marginal gains ? Speaking english ?

Re:

Tom D looks as though he's a small fart away from shitting himself.

Now that is A1 material.

 

[Climbing]

Pinot is leading on descent cause apart Pozzo the other are just wheelsucking.

You're back!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Pinot and Lopez in front on the descent. Good luck all.

 

[Hayabusa]

Boom there's Aru again. Lets not look at the exciting things going on at the front..

 

[luckyboy]

It's certainly startling how easily Yates is able to drop everyone over and over again.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yates putting time on the descent.

Re: Re:

Yates again! Hope he takes this. Dumoulin is the definition of boring this race.

There are different type of riders, and I say Dumoulin is one of the more exciting riders just to look from tactical standpoint and how good he is at not going over the limit

He also attacked in the past and won stages in the mountains. He rides defensively but it is also interesting to see that. Would be boring if everybody did that, but you gotta ride to your strengths and everybody is different.

"how good he is at not going over the limit" What excitement.

Thats how he rides and it is his tactic! There a lot aspects that makes cycling interesting and it would be boring if everybody rode the same way. It is great to have different type of riders with different strenghts fighting for the win and which approach becomes the winning one.

He cant also help that he has to ride that way to have the best chance to win.

You said him knowing his limits is exciting. I disagree. I prefer cycling.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Froome back in the climbers equivalent of the gruppetto, I guess he really did leave it all out there yesterday.

Agree. We may see him attacking at the end of the week.
Would be boring if every rider rides the same way - I like the different approaches to wining a race!

Re:

They’re letting Pinot lead on descents they must be ****

:lol:

 

[DFA123]

Why are they letting Pinot lead this descent? The gaps gradually growing with him on the front.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yates pulling out time on every terrain. Climb, descend, flat.

It wouldn't surprise me anymore if Yates wins the *** time trial at this point

Must have a really good swimming coach.

 

[Serpentin]

Tom do my lawn should lead on the descent.

You missed the point...its not that he is very good. Its just the others are making him look invincible

Plus remember his twin is as good if not better at climbing

Re:

Yates - there is no other explanation, than that his performance is fueled by clinic stuff ... .

Aru - usual performance in colder weather.

The entire sport is fueled by clinic stuff so what's your point?

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

As a Sky fan.... I hope Yates will win this bike race (in Rome).

 

[Rollthedice]

Pinot is channeling his inner Savoldelli.

I said it was interesting from a tactical standpoint when saying that. Idiot...

Adam will win the tour

Well he was 7th 20" down on the prologue.
