[SafeBet]

Pellaud, Gradek and Frapporti in the break.
Easy to control for the sprinters team.

The voodoo chat on here is rather tiresome

So is the Remco talk but we just have to put up with it.

WVA, Berti, Bala, LMRP am I forgetting anyone?

 

[Red Rick]

One of the most symmetric Grand Tour routes you will ever see ...

Po plain stages would like a word

 

[Samu Cuenca]

WVA, Berti, Bala, LMRP am I forgetting anyone?

Yes. If Samu were here, he would "hat" destroyed the others on both the TT downhill and on the long descend today. meaning race over. No shark voodoo needed.

During the Tour Roglic. Van der Poel, clearly. But this Nibali stuff is way, way bigger (well, okay, maybe not bigger than Koronins love for Valverde) than anything I have experienced here in my "first year". It really took me until this week to realize that this is not a cycling fans' forum, but a Nibali's.

You have missed out on the Contador years.

Who can actually dislike this rider? He's one of the best of his generation. An attacker, best descender for a while, with great style. I dont' know really why, maybe it's voodoo, but I've always liked him!

For me it started with Laurens ten Dam saying he didn't want to die on Nibali's wheel in a descent. A year later, angry Italian hand gestures at Lance sealed the deal

Politicians promised a tunnel from Sicily to the mainland and it hasn't been built?
No, it can't be. Not in Sicily.

Great rider but I can certainly see why people don’t like him. Can be a bit of a moody arsehole at times.

Makes him more human. Im more suspicious of guys like Froome who are always media friendly 24/7. You get the impression they arn't actually saying what they think.

Instead of a tunnel underneath the sea, they could consider building the tunnel above the sea, supported by pylons or something.

Surely that's concussion for Weening? He was rather wobbly on his feet there.

 

[Red Rick]

Road captain not road captaining well

What gestures?

Don´t think so. Looked more like the crash knocked the wind out of him and he needed a few seconds to catch his breath.

The bridge's been promised too.

What's this bottled mess about?

 

[Bolder]

Pozzo's style on the bike has just gotten worse as he's aged. And I love him, admire his fighting spirit, but he's always looked awkward. Would love to see a top 5 as a reward for recovering from that horrible crash.

Countless times.
It was one of Berlusconi's staples.

 

[Red Rick]

Any word on the wind situation in the final 40km?

 

[SafeBet]

Man, those were the years.
Flo infesting every topic with her Contador love and mods ultimately threatening to ban her and confining her in a dedicated thread.

Sicilvio!

Is it a boat or a hat this stage profile?
