Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Sapri-Tropea, 217km

[c&cfan]

Cause if Andy was Portuguese you'd be all over him.

This season he actually tried to not make a complete fool out of him self. Only worked out half decently, but better than nothing.

He was good at AGR and LBL, helped his brother win the Criterium International. Tour is where he will shine. Has said he wants to win a stage at Cali this year, so will probably not turn it into a complete booze fest like last year.

Besides, he's a great comedian with all that anger in his belly.

to the first, obviously
to the last, just like you

Whats the "problem" with Andy again ?

Whats the "problem" with Andy again ?

Easy trolling subject. We all do it with him, some just more.

Whats the "problem" with Andy again ?

how can someone be andy's fan?
he is a GT specialist (in one GT)
he is a d1ck.

contador is better than him in that (GT) and is also much better overall and has balls!

using logic, how can someone be andy's fan?

 

[El Pistolero]

As shocking as it may sound, some people think Contador is a ***.

Besides like I said, Andy Schleck is a funny guy. He's the second best GT specialist out there and has won 0 stage races. That's funny.

Hey, I'm a Menchov fan and that guy has 0 personality, but for me... He's definitely a 9.

 

[c&cfan]

As shocking as it may sound, some people think Contador is a ***.

but he is a d1ck with balls, not just a stupid ***, like andy. and he wins, and he is better as a cyclist, much better and much more exciting.

What happend, man ?
I thought I missed something important.

But I guess you just hate him, anyway. Thats the only question that matters and its answered.

Can't believe I thought that was Portuguese for a second.

 

[roundabout]

A Contador fanboy is liable to hate the only genuine GT GC competitor his idol has.

C'mon guys... Enough with the homo-erotic comparisons.

Maybe he shoulda won that 07 Giro due to Di Luca's clinic visits, but hey - he didn't know what the word initiative ment back then so he probably woulda lost it even if Di Luca hadn't won.

But people should see that Andy is a very young man.
When he goes shopping the old aunts still ask: Young man, can I help you ?

People should not forget that this boy has just arrived in pro-cycling, he still has a lot to learn, many many years to improve and learn - and becoming a serious grown up man (damn, this is really boring), that will be called great champion after his career.

Actually I am little Menchov fan, after he smashed his helmet and screamed all over the place. He looked like Rocky. Only part missing was that he screams "AAAAAAAAAAAAAdriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"
He is really calm, but has a huge vulcano in him - that only errupts if he wins the Giro after falling in final TT.

I am a fan boy of conti and canc.

but I am not their fan simply because I am. I am fan of those cyclists because:

a) they are the best riders out there, not just the best ever in their speciality but also the best overall.

b) winners

c) riders with "balls".

if someone chooses to be Andy's fan:

a)that person is from Luxembourg or

b) that person was born in Mars.

am I missing something?

Yeah, ok Personality wise he gets a 1 That was funny in a good way.

But I don't hate Andy, I just think it's funny he has yet to win a stage race

I don't count Fleche du Sud cause my rules

Whats the "problem" with Andy again ?

He hasn't been insulted lately... is about time to increase the hate again...!

Maybe he shoulda won that 07 Giro due to Di Luca's clinic visits, but hey - he didn't know what the word initiative ment back then so he probably woulda lost it even if Di Luca hadn't won.

Ye cuz Andy has been riding clean...
You are pretty naive if you think that only 5 or 10 guys from the peloton are in "programs"...

I am a fan boy of conti and canc.

Nop... this can't be possible...
Nobody can't be fan of Alberto and the C0cky c0ck at the same time...
Geez... being fan of the fabianese...? yuck... I dont want to even think about it...

not only that, canc is my number uno

he has everything, the right personality to make someone like you hating him, and the legs to show how right he is

we need more like him..

the best TTer ever.

 

[Ryaguas]

the right personality

Ye sure... that's why everbody in the peloton was riding against him...

we need more like him..

More whinners?
More ppl neutralizing stages cuz his little boy can't handle his bike and was 5min behind the biggest threat to the next day when his teammate was in the ground blocking other GC men push like a mad man no waiting for anyone?

 

[auscyclefan94]

The Great Alexander Kristoff!!!!!!!!

BMC Power!!!!!!

Yeah, that somehow looks funny.
But I guess many riders would give away some "stageracewins" for some of Andy's palmares.
And actually its not easy when there is Contador or TT is still litle bit too weak.
In 90% of races attended by Alberto the question just is/was who will be 2nd.

In some ways Andy reminds me of Ullrich, or other riders, that were nearly always beaten by even greater riders that were dominant and even more outstanding in their prime - but there is still a long long way to go regarding the palmares and still long way to learn how to "peak" and learn body.
As I said earlier, he is still improving. Especially his TT.
And actually its good and ok to think BIG or focus on GT and some other highlights, regarding his age and abilities.
I choose that variant 100 times over what people like C&A-fan "lazy, boring, ball-less, partying, nonechampion, peaker!" actually write and think.
If Andy would listen to trolls like that, he would already be a young trashed wrack now.
There is still no rider out there who is as superior as Contador, who is able to win many races relatively "easy" and without peaking.
When Alberto is on 90%, he actually is still better than any other rider in the peloton on 100%.

If "justice" will be done, then Andy will win his first stagerace @ TdF2011 for sure, and sad thing is, that people will then say "he only won that because Alberto was not there".
Like many people would have said that about Ullrich 2006, when Lance was in retirement 1.0.

Thats somehow true, but thats not Andy's fault.

 

[auscyclefan94]

lol

the other weakest team contenders:

Omega Pharma - win a stage
Rabobank - stage, pink and white jersey wearers
Farnese Vini - win a stage

BMC get one 4th place in a stage and suddenly their not the weakest team in the race anymore? You and ACF crack me up.

I never said they weren't the weakest team. Learn to read. I said that they are doing quite well, better than I expected so far. I think tschoppp and Frank are in good form to get in a breakaway and do something.

WOW didnt watch the race but looked like an exciting one with contador getting away. Great move by him but i think he shouldnt have wasted the energy with etna coming tmr. But sad thing he lost the sprint, it was kinda like mende. wow great ride by TGAK, finally showing us that he can do something. I kinda lost hope in him until now. wondered what would have happen if there was a sprint for the win. BMC proving everyone wrong about the weakest team in giro, eventhough i still believe they are

BMC Power!!!!!!!

Really happy for Kristoff, hopefully he will regain some confidence now, and perhaps even BMC will be willing to do leadouts for him later. It's what I've said all the time, once in a good position Kristoff is one of the fastest sprinters out there, he just sucks really hard at positioning.

Exactly right. People need to remeber that. He is quite strong on the hills as well.

I can't believe ACF wasn't here to see Kristoff take a glorious 4th...

I was asleep. I thought this was going to be a super boring stage of nothing.

Omg kristoff!!!!!!!

I was like that when I woke up 10 minutes ago!

Man, it's hard not to admire Contador and Cancellara when it comes to their skills and abilities in their favorite disciplines.
Looks somehow boring and easy to be a fanboy of them.
Actually it's even more boring to listen to a guy who feels great and feels like the king just because he is C&C fan.

I think you are even so bored, that you drank too much Porto in Porto and just come here to trash other riders from time to time and to underline your fanboyness, which is quiet a great achievement and most important message.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Lets just remember, Kristoff only got passed by Pettacchi in the last few metres. If he times his sprint better and Gatto + AC didn't get away then he would of won.

He actually started his sprint with more than 300 meters to go...
