Re: Re:

This has had all the ingredients so far for a really exciting final 50k

Make that 70 k

newfound respect for Mr Woods =)

Yates doesn't need to chase him down, he's 5 minutes down.

 

[Kwibus]

Benett was off his bike for 50 seconds due to a mechanical yesterday, so lets say he lost 55 seconds he wouldve finished 7th behind Pinot yesterday.

Nasty place for a mechanical. Gesink repaired the bike before the mechanics were there.

Gesink even finished 27th himself. Would have called that bad a couple of years ago but now I think it's pretty decent for him

No hard feelings toward Gesink, but I hope he has an average wage these days.
He used to be a big earner, but he doesnt deserve that anymore onbiously.

The man has had heart surgey ...its miracle that he is riding at all

I fail to see what he earns has to do with you ...you are not payign him
Talking about small minded comments...typical of the **** we hear everyday on the internet

Now now, easy there. If anything I hope Gesink gets 5 million a year. A good guy that had to endure incredible amounts of *** during his professional career.
That doesnt mean he should still be one of the big earners in the team. Its a professional cycling team, not a charity foundation.

Its not like the team didnt support him over the years.

Painful 2km coming up for Sam Bewley trying to hang on so he can ride the valley

 

[Gigs_98]

I have no idea why Woods is doing that, but it's epic anyway

Edit: I mean ofc I know he is doing this to gain time and win the stage but I just don't think he's most likely to achieve this by doing this kind of attack.

 

[Tonton]

Aru ...yikes.

Crazy how the bunch is so small, crazy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Good to say Oomen consistently being there. Last year Dumoulin would have been isolated now

 

[Gigs_98]

I just hope they let Ciccone take the mountain points. What an effort by him

 

[classicomano]

Neilands not hitting that Volta form yet.

WWAB

Short for "Where would Alacorn be?"

I think he'd be leading the Giro by about 10 minutes to Yates now

 

[Eclipse]

MS knocked the pace off to a controlled level it feels

 

[Salvarani]

Next climb I expect the fireworks to start

OK fine ...apologies

I just dont want him to be penalised becasue he has bad heart issues

Afterall why should Froome get 1.5 million to ride the Giro ...and we object to Gesink to being paid 800K a year

Cycling wages are unfair enough already

I don't.

 

[silvergrenade]

Astana hit the front

 

[DenisMenchov]

Come on Michael. You have a new fan

Re: Re:

I don't.

Dont quote me.

 

[LeChuck]

AG2R going full AG2R

 

[gregrowlerson]

Beautiful scenery.

You know, I can.
BTW, what's your impression about yesterday's stage?

 

[Frankschleck]

Aw man forgot woods is pretty bad downhill. Well you still have a new fan Woods.

 

[tobydawq]

Another awesome wet descent by Denz.

And the opposite for Woods, unfortunately. But that was to be expected.

 

[TomLPC]

The chaos on the road is a testemant to the design and placement of this stage

 

[Brullnux]

Ah, Ciccone can climb but can't descend. Oh well.

 

[Gigs_98]

If it keeps raining the next two descents will be scary
