I give up on people

Really? Humanity isn't quite doing it for you?

Chris Anker I'm Dying Sorensen is back

 

[auscyclefan94]

Lil' Santa is there for Cadel!

 

[Parrot23]

LOL, quote at Velonews: "Sorensen looks like death eating a cracker."

Astana doesn't have a reason to pull, since Vino has a good lead and could only lose time. BMC don't have anyone to pull. Cervélo and Liquigas have leaders suffering from injuries.

So nobody has a reason to pull and thus the break wins.

 

[BroDeal]

break will win. what is up with moncoots?

He does not want to be at the Giro, so don't expect anything from him.

 

[Bala Verde]

Well done t.

Please do NOT discuss other racing results in the thread that does NOT deal with the race.

Common forum rule: stay on topic.

 

[Galic Ho]

If people actually cared about F1 they would be watching it right now not on here complaining that I mentioned the result.

Anyways edited it out.

True. People need to multitask or prioritise. Those upset chose cycling over F1. Cannot have your cake and eat it. As for telling the result, I am again surprised. Honestly it was Monaco and the result is pretty much set from the start because of the lack of over taking opportunities.

 

[B.Rasmussen]

sørensen really hurting

He always looks like that when climbing. It's a different kind of pokerface, because people can never tell how much he is hurting as he looks close to death all the time.

To be fair though the ES commentary did just announce this - so chances are anyone watching does actually know.

May I ask where you heard that? Moncoutié made a point last year of only renewing if they'd allow him to skip the Tour and do the other 2 GTs.

Not everyone is english. (It's amazing how every time commentators are brought up, someone has to tell an english poster that )

 

[auscyclefan94]

Grrrrr.....BORING!

 

[Kender]

anyone have an english feed please?

 

[Bala Verde]

Where is Lampre now?

1:50m now

 

[Moondance]

Grrrrr.....BORING!

Dont worry. Evans will come and save your boredom.

Not everyone is watching Eurosport.

You are just giving up on people NOW? Color you an optimist...

 

[ak-zaaf]

Grrrrr.....BORING!

Again: Mountaintop finishes are overrated. Unless they're extremely steep or in a 100km stage.

 

[auscyclefan94]

tempo going up now.

It was in another thread. I forget which. But he seemed to be upset at being forced to ride the Giro.

he! that might actually be a good strategy. if I was next to him, I'd certainly think he was close to cracking.

Kruijswijk with Moncoutie, nice.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Moncoutie and Kruijswijck only '12 behind the leaders

 

[Bala Verde]

Sastre a little close to the back of the maglia rosa group
