Giro d'Italia Stage 19: Brescia - Aprica (195km)

[Sasquatch]

CN's race preview said it all, "Basso use to destroy his rivals on climbs like this in 2006"

What happened back then? He got caught doping. I'd go as far to say it is a fact Basso is doping again, you can't do the same as you did doping when your no longer on the sauce.

Go to the clinic for crying out loud. This is an embarassment to Australian's the carrying on from you about so and so is doping because my man Evans can't hang on.

It really is no wonder the drug culture is so inbred into this sport, someone mentions it and you all say shhhh! keep it quiet!

They may as well make it legal with the pathetic attitude you all have.

We only want you to shut up because it's the wrong place to talk about it. Your post has been reported since you can't figure out how to use this forum correctly.

 

[Sasquatch]

you are. i still do support him but i am just saving downloads as I need to save 'em and as evans is cracking i turned the coverage off.

Fair enough. Probably good you dont' watch it anyway. It's getting worse.

 

[Moondance]

Yes it sure is.

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vino is really going well now.

Did Evans not eat enough? I mean this is serious explosion here...

Passo Coe 2002 all over again. evans looses hamiltons wheel and then catches back up to it and then bonks like nobodies business.

I'm so loving this Giro.

And usually we go on about ho certain riders have been disappointing. Love what Vino is showing, love the heart that Evans has shown (he's dropping back now to where I expected him, but we are in, what, stage 19 before he showed a crack?), impressed with Arroyo, Been loving Nibali and Basso. Even Mollema has been a revelation to me.

So that leaves Sastre as just about the only underperforming duck in this pond.

Giro once again setting a though act for the Tour to follow for entertainment value. And for once, I am hopeful the Tour will actually deliver.

2010 has been a cracking year so far.

Arroyo may well catch Evans at this rate. The shame.

davis 123: It was decided by the owners of this board, that doping can only be discussed in the clinic. You might agree with this approach or not (I don't like it myself). But to post here, you should respect the rules of the board. That's really all everybody is saying.

That jackass in the blue shirt ran uphill a LONG way.

Here Here...I think it is amazing what Evans has done to this point...really held form for a long time.

It's not evans that is bonking that is my problem as such with the doping but that basso is flying like 2006.Moondance, i understood!

I think this might be it. The descents were so technical that it would be hard to eat while going down hill.

John Gadret has impressed me

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nearing the top. Time gaps coming up.

There is no discussion

Basso is strong, but in 2006 there would be about 5 hours between him and Scarponi now.
You just can't handle the fact Evans is being destroyed.

He's doping!!!

and we have to put up with the Anti Cadel group acting like petulant spoilt brats for another tour

Im for one proud of his efforts regardless

 

[dresch]

Cannot wait to hear Evans post race.

I think that that's Evans' problem. He's not a natural mountain goat, but on the basis of his grit and strength can 'climb above his means' and seriously dip into the red. The problem is is that in the steeper Italian climbs that tactic is harder than on the slightly gentler French climbs.

 

[ak-zaaf]

I'll wait to see how long he ran uphill in 2006 before I make that judgement.

 

[BroDeal]

Basso is just piling on the coals. He looks like he is pushing hard (and smiling while he does it)

Who the heck are you talking about? Grow up...nobody is saying anything bad about Cadel Evans...just the facts...

Vino is having a great day
