Froome's whole Giro d'Italia victory already looked like worthless scripted reality in his favor!

That he's actually that much of a moron to openly expose himself with today's action, while his fans truly believe he's bigger than Pantani & Armstrong since Friday even surprises me! :confused:

Ridiculous clown! :D

I'm not even mad anymore. I laugh about him. :lol:
you are blaming Froome without knowing the facts

Of course he's not. Hence why he received a starting fee and why Vegni happily shook hands and took pictures with him after the Zoncolan & Finestre stages!

Who would have guessed that the circuit is proving to be clearly raceable ? - at least for the bike racers anyway

You can tell the Giro is desperate for a "big" name on their palmares.

Not surprised, it is the least prestigious GT after all (behind Tour, Vuelta and California), they need to over-compensate (just like the start in Israel).
So Contador spent 3 seasons targeting this joke of a race?

Number one rule of forums. Don't feed the troll

Yes. It's why pro cycling is so intense once you fall in love with it. It's not just a sport. It's a thriller as well, an opera, a Telenovela, sometimes even a knavery!

With all the emotional ups and downs included and the different interpretation of certain events.

Is the course really that bad? How is this so different from a cobbled stage earlier in a race? I don't understand this, is it simply because they feel like they shouldn't have any opportunity for difficulty on the final day of a GT?

:lol: Nieve, Sagan and Nibali are the best cyclists. Two out of three prefer the Giro.

Sagan has never started the Giro, Nibali is Italian but if you ask him what his biggest win is he'll say the Tour and since when is Nieve one of the best cyclists in the world lol?

Now that Froome is in the lead they don't want to take any risks of losing him as a winner, after all, they paid € 2 million for him to win.
