any news on slagter?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Belgian televisions hosts whining again.
This time about Weening not showing a sign for Weylandts or something when crossing the line.

i'm getting tired of this. Might try Dutch eurosport tomorow...

Yeah shame there where no clown noses and dancing rabbits smoking cigars but you can't have that everyday

Nah, I just meant no attack from the favourites except for a little dig by Scarponi, but as I said, only a minimal criticism; it was very entertaining to watch.

Great ride be Weening, nice job by Rabo as a team. Shame about the bad luck.

Lovely finish as well.

 

[Escarabajo]

Why didnt Duarte attack before????

miss-timing again.

Duarte looked so relaxed 2 km out that I was so sure that he was going to hit them hard and win it!

Anyway congrats to the Rabo boys and the Dutch Mafia!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

weening takes pick.

Kruijswijk in white?

 

[Ferminal]

4th lead change in 4 days of racing... just like last year!

Menchov was the VERY Silent Assassin today.

 

[boomcie]

Good job Dutchies! Congrats.

I've got a nice post coming though.

Serpa 10th in GC--damn!! exiting times are ahead!!!

 

[Thomsena]

What would you have wanted him to do, pull out a Belgian flag under his jersey or what?

I finger pointed to the air perhaps?

Do you think a flag be a beautiful gesture?...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kohler gets KOM...I'm surprised Menchov kept with them but I was hoping Michele would go on with the win

 

[jobiwan]

Kohler gets KOM

He deserves that much. Great ride by him today.

 

[Eshnar]

Nibali saying that he didn't want to take any risk on that descent

 

[Moncoutie]

Kohler gets KOM

Well deserved.

 

[ak-zaaf]

So if Weening wins a Vuelta stage he's the last Dutch guy to win a stage in all 3 GT's.
Sounds like something to focus on

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nibali saying that he didn't want to take any risk on that descent

lol.

crazy nibs

the menchov curse for sure. he isn't allowed to attack

nice, and fully deserved

 

[roundabout]

Nibali saying that he didn't want to take any risk on that descent

Compared to Rabobank rider behind he looked in full control.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Aw, slightly disappointingly boring finish, but what a wonderful stage, eh?

boring for you maybe

For me it was unbearably exciting

 

[spalco]

I finger pointed to the air perhaps?

Do you think a flag be a beautiful gesture?...

Not necessarily, but I just don't understand what he could have done to satisfy people looking for a gesture to Weylandt.

Did Gatto hand his bike over to anyone?
I mean - what the **** would he be doing in 5th place in such a stage?
