Don't start this ****.
I just congratulated your hero on winning the Giro, isn't that enough for you?
You explicitly mentioned this was his 7th GT, you could have known that would cause disagreement.TheGreenMonkey said:Bait, race not go my way?
What on earth are you talking about?
I am happy with Contador winning, I have just been enjoying the racing and not supporting anyone really for the overall, except Kruijswijk who was never going to challenge Contador. I just congratulate Contador on his win and you start jumping all over me.

It wasn't a matter of miscalculation. It was a matter of an already shattered field being kept at bay by two superb rouleurs.
That's not what it looked like from where I'm sitting. I didn't jump all over you, that's a figment of your imagination.TheGreenMonkey said:Bait, race not go my way?

Considering how hard this race was for the sprinters, and how the sprinter's teams were plagued by flat tires, it's quite understandable that two track pursuit riders could hold the peloton off. But that wasn't what you were trolling about I guess.Bye Bye Bicycle said:Another sign that the teams don't really care about this race.

He must already have a deal in place for next season then? Or, he has made up his mind to leave Astana..Red Rick said:hfer07 said:Gotta Love Landa - when he was asked about Alberto Celebrating his Giro Tiltle - he replied: , yes -it is Nice for him - IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME INSTEAD
