Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Chianciano - Monte Terminillo (189km)

[Hotbrakes]

Did anyone mention it finished under pace car conditions.

That's really harsh Isso. Be nice to the poor kid.

The irony is I am sitting here laughing at him while he is having a hissy fit worthy of a 8 year old little girl, who is the kid?

If that guy was any slower at wheel changes he could get a job with Shimano Neutral services.

 

[Bala Verde]

Okay, that's enough.

There is one more or less commonly accepted and common forum rules, whatever forum you are on, and that is to STAY ON TOPIC. In this case, we are in the stage 8 Giro thread, that means F1 results, or EVEN TOC results DO NOT BELONG HERE.

Stop the bickering and continue Giro Stage 8 discussions. If you can't, get out of here.

To add to that, anyone who insults another forum member will receive an infraction. Cool it down and stay on topic.

anyone have a working english video or preferably audio stream? I'm watching on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ (the video quality is really good). I can't get the stream from steephill.tv to work.

Thanks!

I'm not actually from Tilburg (or Brabant) so I couldn't give two flying ****s about all their shitty football teams.

I'm an Ajax man

Well, I'm not actually from Deventer, but I would like a free party tomorrow.

I have my club Sparta going for relegation in a few minutes =/

 

[Kazistuta]

No. People should not discuss other sports. End of debate.

Well, it wasn't really a discussion, was it? Just a happy-go-lucky parallel to todays stage. And I'm quite sure this won't be the first time a non-regular visitor demean himself to spoil something for someone... Why not make it an option?

Btw. Moncoutie, Petrov or Chris Anker for the win today, second time....

 

[Kender]

heh the streamer keeps changing the language

bah now they swapped to football

 

[auscyclefan94]

The guy is an unrepetentent assho!e. He deserves to be ignored.

Yes and vino is an unrepentant doper so there you go!

If that guy was any slower at wheel changes he could get a job with Shimano Neutral services.

puffy, i bet you had that on planned out all day!

we are still waiting for british eurosport to stop showing highlights of the motorbike race they have just shown.. now we get to hear rider interviews at the expense of the giro. CYcling now been put back to 3.45 despite the motorcycling finishing twenty minutes ago. :/

Italian it is then!

Er, what if a person had something else to do and couldn't watch the F1? You are omniscient enough to know and judge that what they might have been doing is unimportant enough and they SHOULD have watched F1, if only they cared enough?

Geeze, I know that forums can bring out one's inner moron, but making blanket statements about people you don't know is a bit much.

Do you even realize what you just said? They had something more important to do yet they are on these forums 5 minutes after the race finishes?

"Yes", like Vino.

We all enjoy a good spectacle, F1 included.

See scarponi is wearing one of those band-aid things on his nose, Robbie Fowler-style, that supposedly helps with breathing. Anyone know if those things work?

 

[Anonymous]

just put him on ignore guys and lets get back to cycling please..

15k to go.. breakaway at 2m45

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It was Fassa in 2003, IIRC.

Also Rabobank in 2005, when Menchov won, I remember they also had only 3 guys left.

Gerolsteiner finished the 2008 Giro with 2 riders.

They help keep your nostrils open for greater intake capacity

 

[Kender]

leaders on the climb

 

[auscyclefan94]

I think gerdemann could top 10 at the giro. he and his team look very good. Astana running out of men.

 

[issoisso]

Does anyone know the gap?

 

[Anonymous]

abbout 2m40 ish

 

[zapata]

Hehe! I guess I should have seen that coming.

 

[issoisso]

Hehe! I guess I should have seen that coming.

It's honestly how they work

abbout 2m40 ish

Thanks!

EDIT: 1:55 at the 15km mark. That came down quickly!

I think they are bogus.
