The sooner the wheelsucking little **** ****s off the better. But I am sure we'll get a cack 'special' for the ITT.

The best description of him and Horner at TOC was 'two shaved testicles teabagging the sky'

Nah, I think TGBM will gain a bit more time on him tomorrow and then just manage to keep Levi behind him in the TT to get the overall victory (I'm actually serious!).

TGBM winning would be even worse. hardly visible all week long. at least leecheimer was able to put a couple of seconds on cunego in the last 400 meters after sucking his wheel for 3k and letting little damiano take all the head wind
 
Cunego isn't such an abysmal time trialist that he should lose 2 minutes to Leipheimer, when he's probably in the best form he's been in for a few years.

Mollema did a half arsed attack today. He just doesn't have the form to make it stick.

i certainly hope and think cunego will manage to hold bottle off.

still while mollema performance has been good. most times we see him he is suffering at the back. he seems to be on the right path to be in top shape for the tour. but would be weird to see him win. would be one of those silent killer type of wins :p

Mollema always looks like he's suffering though. It will be a perfect match with Gesink at the Tour. Team Orange Sufferface.

Indeed Mollema's style is very similar to Gesinks. He also suffers on the bottom of the climb. Perfect to haul Gesinks *** back to the peloton after they've both been dropped at the foot.
 
Don't really understand the hate for Levi as he's been a very successful rider in his career, but I don't see him losing this race. Cunego wants to win it very badly, and will do enough hold onto his lead.

People hate Levi because he is perhaps the most negative rider in the peloton. Never does an ounce of work and spends all his time sucking on the wheels of others. He sucks the life out of every race he enters.

He is cycling's very own Jose Mourinho. Dull, negative, cynical.

Levi FTW. **** all these youngsters excessively touted by homers.

Unless Cunego can hold on, I'd prefer Cunego.

as much as i dont like bottle .. comparing him to mourinho is unfair... Mourinho is in the habit of winning big things, i am not a fan though.
 
He's not an exciting rider and he looks like the Great Gazoo but for some reason I've had a soft spot in my heart for Levi since watching him come out of the blue and podium at the Vuelta back in '01.

I don't think he'll take quite enough time from Cunego in the TT, but it would be fun to watch this place explode if he did.
