Geraint Thomas be like

 

[RedheadDane]

Take him to the Tour.

I think that might have been the plan all along. Coz... it's not like Astana have a whole pile of riders who can potentially win.

 

[tobydawq]

Take him to the Tour.

That is not even up for debate, is it?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Manx Missile Crisis has been resolved!

 

[Bonimenier]

I mean who else are Astana going to take. They could call up one of us with how little talent they have

Lutsenko will win the Tour.

 

[Lequack]

Geraint Thomas be like

It worked. He won!

 

[Red Rick]

Ackerman already up congratualting Cav

 

[DNP-Old]

Cees Bol had wonder legs in France, I wouldn't be surprised if 35 really is in the works.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Old yeller leads out older yeller. Fairytale. Just like old times.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Gaviria was going nowhere fast there

 

[perico]

Take him to the Tour.

I don’t think that was ever in doubt regardless of his form. They signed him for the pub of having him at the TDF with the chance of breaking the record.

 

[Red Rick]

Was everyone dead or did only Cavendish ever learn how to sprint on these gentle cobblestones?

 

[carolina]

Really solid win. Much better then the rest.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Milan blocked by his own leadout Pasqualon .

 

[Davesta]

Cav gives Thomas a kiss to say thanks 😍

 

[perico]

I mean who else are Astana going to take. They could call up one of us with how little talent they have

I can tell you who they aren’t taking…

Superman

Superman

Obviously...

 

[Netserk]

A somewhat poor ending to a really poor race.

A shame Gaviria didn't have the legs to win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Milan would have won if he had started his sprint in a worse position. I bet he won't make the same mistake next time.

 

[cen]

Wtf was Milan doing anyway lol

 

[RedheadDane]

Milan found himself in a great position and didn't know wtf to do

 

[Wyndbrook]

A somewhat poor ending to a really poor race.

A shame Gaviria didn't have the legs to win.

Why?

 

[noob]

The two last stages of this giro

Cees Bol had wonder legs in France, I wouldn't be surprised if 35 really is in the works.

I mean big difference between beating Kirsch and Fiorelli Vs Merlier, WVA etc. The level of sprinting talent left in th Giro is very poor.
