Crater in knee. Pictures? Reports? No, that news around these parts unless your:
A) Dutch
B) A Gesink fanboy/lover
C) Favourite team is Rabo
Lol. The first couple of words in your post clearly reflect how ignorant you are. If the term ‘’fanboy’’ had an antonym it would be you. The people on these forums have been kind enough to actually consider your silly posts in the hopes of informing your ignorant self in a proper manner and still you find a way around concrete proof. This is the most incredible display of absolute ignorance I have seen, baffling really. No further comments in this regard needed.
Nobody died and made me ruler. You were treated in the same manner you treated another. Clearly it ****ed you off. Deal with. Welcome to the forum.
The only thing I needed to know is who died and made you ruler………….. that’s right, no one. Deal with thát. ; ) Furthermore, this patronizing jibber jabber about being treated the same way jibber jabber, please, do not make me laugh. Oh, and thanks ; ).
If you weren't so quick to polish Roberts knob, you'd realise I was pointing out your mistakes. Mistakes you did not correct in your response. It still stands that Gesink lost time and the reason was because of the way he rode. It still stands that he falls quite frequently. Also, I never said he was soft. I merely said that another poster, who had said Gesink was soft, reasoning was spot on but failed in my response to say that the conclusion one can make would clearly label Gesink as soft. I suggest you get a room and reacquaint your love for team Rabo. Drop the excuses. If a bung knee was never mentioned last September why is it now, 7 months later, a talking point? It is a talking point because this thread is for Gesink fanboys and fanboys make excuses for their man crushes.
If you weren’t so quick to try and correct my ‘’mistakes’’ I wouldn’t have to be sitting here and correcting your mistakes, sir. I stand by everything I said, I will absolutely not change my views on something which is gauged subjectively, are you kidding me? That notion is laughable at least. Who are you to tell me if I thought that Gesink could have took the Vuelta? He was riding brilliantly, attacking in most of the mountain stages. Why wouldn't I think that he could have won? If he had kept pulling away from Valverde on La Pandera when had attacked he would have taken over the lead, am I right? Up to that point I thought he could have taken it. Even if that weren’t possible he would still have 2nd in the bag IN MY OPINION as he was looking good. The gash in his knee is evident through pictures, which you have chosen to belittle, whereas I, and many others in here, have not. If you choose to be a consummate ignorant that's your prerogative, however there's no point for me to fall into a foolish perpetual argument about it with you. As far as I’m concerned I have a fundamental right to freedom of opinion regardless of what - atrocities - you post, deal with it ; ).
Fanboys. They come in every shape and form and yes, they are all flaming in their love for other men. I don't hate Gesink, I just don't talk people up who have yet to perform. You said he was going to win. You said Gesink had second covered in the event he did not have 1st. As I said. Ignorance, which fanboy love explains. That is calling it as it happened. Not hatred. I did not criticize Gesink personally or lay down hatred for the guy. I merely described what occurred and commented on his riding. I'll say it again. He came where he always was going to and your points will have substance when he makes the podium of a GT. Till then, prove it. Oh, you can't? Sob...sob.
No, you are a just one of those people who will always see things their way because the alternative is just too scary; acknowledging that they are wrong about some things
. If you do not agree with the rest of the stuff that’s being said OK, as I have said before, it’s a subjective matter. However, the way you seem to find excuses even when specific visual evidence is shown to you is really astounding. Thus, we should all agree with your views because you said so? How about; Hellll no. Finally, I see you have ended your post rather classy, resorting to taking cheap shots like asking for proof where the situation is not black and white. Way to go, you got me there
Just the mere fact that we are discussing about Gesink ‘’not being able to rival the top three’’ or that he doesn’t have ‘’it’’ at his age and point in his career already says a lot about him and his future.
As far as fanboys go, I do not consider myself a fanboy, but what’s the point in discussing that any further since you’re gonna get your panties in a twist and delude yourself that you are right, right?
There, now I gave you something to truly justify sobbing. Put it in your pipe and try smoking that for a change.
P.s.: Gesink finished 4th -not 5th- in last year's Dauphine Libere, I don't know why I even bother...
