Mauro Santambrogio Discussion Thread

[RHRH19861986]

Sinkewitz was the only one who could follow him in GP Artigianato (?) shortly prior to the Giro... And maybe would´ve beaten him, without his crash due to a mechanial.

So I hope Sinkewitz returns to Vini as soon as possible, and that they can race together. Would make a strong duo in one day races as well as in stage races.

Santa is really growing my sympathy towards him-very aggressive & is becoming a sensation. Good for him

 

[RHRH19861986]

BTW: This clinic hints are useless, in my opinion. CN did well to create this sub forum of Pro Road Racing doping free.
What sense does it make to pick out one rider, and forget about the rest?

I congratulate Santambrogio for his performances, also today, and I don´t care at all what medicine he gets.

C'mon, we all expected him to run this year full gas from January til October. A natural GT rider, everybody knew that. Which is why this thread already was opened... well, today. After 10 years as a pro hiding somewhere around 200th place (often even lower) in the cq ranking there's absolutely nothing suspicious in suddenly coming up at current 17th position.

Vini Fantini are the new Sky

He should make the Italian Worlds' team too. Be the last man for Nibbles.

I was impressed with his form early this year so took 66/1 on him to win the Giro each-way and also found 20/1 for a podium. Cheering him on all the way in this last week.

Proving himself to be a very good GT climber. Keep going Santa!!!

Make sure you grab your payout ASAP after the final day. ;-)

Lol imagine if he joined Sky from BMC the clinic would be in overdrive now, hope he keeps this up.

There is talk of him. Anyways.... My thread on Mick Rogers was closed last year and why is this thread not closed?

 

[Pentacycle]

Chubbyface is really discovering his limits, did he have some kind of virus over at BMC?

sorry but there is only ONE babyface:

for santa, you can use chubby face though

Its his main goal in the 2nd half of the season, its a perfect course for him!

 

[jens_attacks]

well if that is true, i can say goodbye to killer's chances to ride the worlds
way too many choices

 

[The Hitch]

Santa fan right here.

clinic people are boooring and repetative.
Buhu! he is climbing well, clinic clinic clinic....

Clinic people make innuendos in the clinic.

Its the Ryo Hazukis of this world who are too scared of going into the clinic who make their innuendos in the prr section where they think they will get away with it.

Though I don't think what G too fast posted was particularly bad.

 

[Jelantik]

snippet from his interview:

Indeed, Evans tried and failed to follow the winning move when it went clear in the final two kilometres but Santambrogio said that he took no additional satisfaction from outgunning his former leader.

"Sure, it gives me a lot of morale, but I owe a lot to Cadel too," he said. "I was close to him when he broke his elbow at the Tour de France and I learnt how to prepare a Grand Tour with him. And I can show that now that I'm at a team that gives me the status of leader."

What a classy guy.

Nibali

Cunego
Pellizotti
Visconti
Di Luca

One of Malori, Pinotti, Tosatto wil be in the team.

 

[Netserk]

One of Malori, Pinotti, Tosatto wil be in the team.

Then drop either Moser or Visconti.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I think Malori wants to go all in TT wise.

Should have been in Lampre's Giro team instead of Pozatto or Ferrari imo.

 

[SafeBet]

Then drop either Moser or Visconti.

How dare you???

Visconti and cunego have no business in this team (little prince has been mediocre this season).

You need someone to control the race anyway.

 

[manafana]

about time this man got talked about has had great season, hoping he lasts all 3 weeks.

 

[Ripper]

Mauro .... chuckle.

This definitely deserves its own thread. Possibly in two places

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Why was my post deleted? It had no clinic reference in it.

And all that without any notice. That's really some awful moderation style here.

 

[Gloin22]

Welll.. as many said. it was funny while it lasted.

Wonder if Vini is going disband or do something now?

 

[maltiv]

Enjoy him while you can.

I love the fact that this is the first post of the thread, couldn't be more accurate
