lol @ fuglsang and people mocking my opinion early on when it's clear as hell he has nothing to do in a gt for gc
lol @ you for saying that, well knowing that he was 7th in the most highly contested Tour in recent years.

Was is it? From my pov the field was not even close to the level of the Giro 99 or Tour 2007. Probably not even equal to the Tour 2009, Giro 2011 or Vuelta 2012 expect the top 5.

He's got a point there, pal! Wheter we like the chauvinistic character of his statement or not. He's definately got a point!
I'm not even gonna comment on the ridiculousness of that example.
 
How does the strength of the field matter when all the good riders were way ahead of Fuglsang? If we take a look at the riders Fuglsang did manage to beat in the GC:

8. Valverde - because of a mechanical in the crosswinds.
9. Navarro
10. Talansky
11. Kwiatkowski
12. Nieve - because of the crosswinds, which is fair (unlike the TTT), but it wasn't because Fuglsang is a better GT rider
13. Ten Dam

Very impressive, huh? :rolleyes:

No Contador, Quintana or Froome in the TDF 2013? Are you sure?

How do riders with visible veins on their assball tend to do in the Tour? I'm not sure, but I'm expecting Birdsong to fly.

Not too fat to win le Dauphine apparently. :D

He'll be in yellow when the Tour stage starts in Mondorf les Bains.
Fugslang and Aru combo could actually put Sky under some pressure in July if they are in this form. Props to both of them and the team in general for good tactics.
 
I say that he'll at best finish 5th. If he finishes 4th or better, you can pick an avatar for me until the worlds are over. If he doesn't finish better than 5th, I'll pick an avatar for you until the start of the Vuelta.

Hmm. Okay deal then. Yates was 4th in the Tour last year, so I see no reason why Jakob should not be able to do it if he remains in shape.
 
Re: Fuglsang too fat to win the Giro d'Italia, Andersen says

That nasty Birdsong played the trick on Lil Richie!
Bad boy!

HE'S SEXY AND YOU KNOW IT
