LOL. Must be difficult to get sportsmen who don't look like jockeys to sound like them.

Great, smart, aggressive racing for them.
BroDeal said:Whatever happened to WIgans anyway? Did he forget to eat his rice cakes this year?

BroDeal said:Contador did not have his usual acceleration. I think all the small climbs sapped the snap in his legs. This does not mean anything for the TdF.
coming from a dane that must be a compliment...Cerberus said:You must be real proud that an Australian doper have finally surpassed the Spanish ones. the pupil has become the master.
Beech Mtn said:Man, Contador looks disappointed. He really wanted to win. At least he's behaving more politely on the podium than a certain rider who finished 3rd at last year's tour.
I bet AC comes back and tries to win this in the future. He looks really disappointed with himself.

Катюша is definitely one of the major cycling powers right now, and I imagine thats only going to increase over the next few years.

Parrot23 said:Just the psychology of it, and this is a big deal for Evans. He's been a self-doubter, I think.
Moose McKnuckles said:Can you stop being a douche? You're going to get people to hate Evans.

Sure you were, I guess that's why you're beings so cheerful about the conversation that followed you joke.

Thoughtforfood said:Yea, that is how it seems to me. I think wins like this will only embolden him in the GT's. I don't think it will mean a win in the TdF, but he looks to be the clear favorite for the Giro.
Parrot23 said:Yeah, I noticed that too. BUT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS: THE BIG STORY IS THAT GT RIDERS ARE NOW TAKING THE CLASSICS SERIOUSLY.
Great for the sport, moving it away from where Pharmstrong took it.
