Joaquim 'Purito' Rodriguez Discussion thread

[movingtarget]

Great photo. The man looks happy as he should.

 

[Panda Claws]

What's with those sideburns though? He's scaringly wigginish.

Lol everyone seems to be considered Wigginish nowadays.

 

[meat puppet]

let's hope they trade blows and purito hangs on today and especially tomorrow. it could go both ways, really, but if purito gets it right these two days, maybe he can pull it off.

Is that good or bad?

 

[El Pistolero]

Even the Smurfs are considered Wigginish by some.

 

[Panda Claws]

It means, it is ridiculous to immediately claim someone is Wigginish if they happen to have sideburns.

Nice little interview with Purito.

 

[gregod]

i am glad Purito is leading the vuelta, but his performances are more and more looking "otherworldly."

Sad day for Purito.

Reading between the lines he admitted they were not paying attention when Contador attacked. "Nobody was expecting this."

"Alberto won with 2 cojones"

Respect for JRO, very good loser.


And I'll make sure I'm the first to say it: he's gonna pull a Landis on Saturday. Just watch.

Fair play at hits best.

Would that be attacking with 1500 meters to go instead of 900?

They should have expected it, though, considering Contador had teammates up the road. Not to mention a de facto super dom in Tiralongo.

 

[The Hitch]

The Great irony is that Rodriguez was the one who suffered from the Contador Tiralongo alliance in the first place. as he was the 2nd on the road going for the stage win when Contador flew out, reached Tiralongo and paced him up to the finish.

Conti
Nibbles

umm thats how they finished, its not what the situation on the road was when Contador attacked and made sure none of them would win the stage, which was Rodriguez chasing Tiralongo.

Purito= C. L. A. S. S.

 

[Cimber]

A few interesting insights. Breschel commenting on yesterdays stage (google translated):

"Rodriguez was making mistakes again and again, was not paying attention and played arrogant, and you just can not get away with in such a race here," said Breschel in a quick comment after Wednesday's stage of the Vuelta and acclaimed turn Alberto Contador of his early attacks and stunning solo ride.

"Lets just say, that Contador has class. He reads the race well and takes every chance. I think everyone were quite impressed with Contador."

And a comment by Berti which is quite different:

I even had the opportunity to talk with Joaquim (Rodriguez) and Alejandro (Valverde) in the field. They drove both really good tactical yesterday.

Valverdy, yes, Purito definately not. But he has ridden really smart apart from yesterday

[Danilot]

No problem. He'll still win the WC!

 

[Afrank]

Rodriguez-
"Podium, four stage wins, we're about to win 2 jerseys, we won in Bola del Mundo: we did a great Vuelta".

"I'm happy of my shape today, unfortunately I didn't manage to take the second place in GC"

"If I think the strongest won the GC? Yes I do, classifications never lie".

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Like this guy more and more. If he tried to attack before the 1 km mark a little bit more often he would be 1 of my favs
