It's just a joke man, chill out. I thought it was moderately funny, not a killer joke, but ok. I'm sure she will forgive me, I hope you can do the same. :)

i am sorry, it was a great joke for everyone (but me), that's for sure. i can see that. also the timing was perfect.

but for me, knowing what i know, it doesn't even make sense at all, because it was exactly the opposite of that :)

you are totally right, still the james gandolfini that lives inside me (it's a small one, otherwise i would be really "big".) can't wait to take control and show them who's the boss.

and be carefull, i am already planning a coup d'état :)

i am loyal. portuguese mafia 4 life.

said topic had already been over discussed anyway. :p

i think there is a limit for everything even for pippo bashing posts XD

in fact i don't agree with some "pippo bashing" based in one move that was, in my opinion, the correct choice. (following gilbert)

Pippo bashing is based on his entire career.

he has a nice sprint, most likely he would've won MSR if gilbert was stronger.

for me, the real wheel sucker, is hushovd.

LOL

You really do hate Gilbert don't you.

It was Gilbert who attacked and it was Gilbert who still outsprinted Pozzato.

Pozzato has nothing. The only reason he won Milan-San Remo was because he had Boonen and Bettini in his team.

Pozzato sucks more wheel than Hushovd ever will and that says something.

Yeah right, he rode an awesome sprint and even managed to finish behind Gilbert in the end. Congrats.

Don't try selling bullcrap please, I've seen people try it before, but nobody will take it of your hands.

Same goes for you Pistolet. Nobody buys it. Pozzato has shown a number of great rides in the past. He's just extremely annoying at times. All this talk is getting old. Why do I even respond to this.

He has nothing now.

When was the last time he had a great ride? 2009? He wheelsucks 90% of the time, that's just sadly a fact.

All this talk is getting old, but until Pippo changes his riding style it will haunt him. Nobody would hate him if he contributed to a breakaway group or something, but he can't even do that. What kind of worthless cyclist does that make you? It's not like he doesn't have the talent to become a great one... He should become a domestique again, it's the only way he got his biggest win to date anyway. Should go to Leopard.

It's mostly your talk :).
Saying he has nothing is just plain silly. He gets on my nerves all the time, but you won't hear me say he's a bad rider.
Go on hating him, but be fair.

He's a bad rider. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't do sh*t with it then you're even worse than someone with less talent.

No, then you have a 5th place in one of the best MSR editions ever. Something a bad rider would kill for. He's a negative rider. Not a bad one. I'm not discussing this any further.

No just Quickstep(hey they got second and fourth at Flanders!), Astana, Euskaltel, Lampre, Katusha and BMC.

Quickstep: 2 great classic specialists in their midst and zero big wins. Horrible tactics at RVV.
Astana: well, the whole team hasn't performed at all so far.
Euskaltel: With Samu and Igor Anton they should've done better at the hilly classics and perhaps at P-N as well. Very bad time trial of Samu in Pais Vasco(losing a sprint against Klöden in P-N?)
Lampre: Meh
BMC: Great classics roster yet no podium. Unlucky that Cuddles was injured for the Ardennes, but that's cycling. But they actually did better so far than I expected.
Katusha: one of the best classics roster of all PT teams and not a single classics win... They deserve the biggest fail reward.
Leopard: Can you call this a team? At least not at Cancellara's races. Did good at Criterium International and the Ardenens classics though.

I'm not trolling Rabo because they're Dutch, but because they underperformed at the Ardennes mostly compared to their team roster. And Gesink peaking at Oman is one big WTF. Doesn't the team supervise him? He got the Tirreno-Adriatico victory handed on a silver platter and dropped it.

Teams that did great:

HTC: Math Goss rode brilliantly in M-SR. Also won P-N and Algarve with Tony Martin. Pretty good results for a team that doesn't focus at all on classics and stage races.
OPL: speaks for it self
Saxo: Had a bad team roster yet they managed to win RVV, DDV, Catalunya, Murcia, stage in T-A, stood there as a team in FW(but Contador let them down), etc
Team Radioshack: Winning Pais Vasco again and some nice victories of their young chaps and revival of Klöden. Horner also in good shape. They also had Leipheimer second at Catalunya before he got sick. Won Driedaagse van de Panne with Rosseler. Also won Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen. All those victories while everyone called them retiredshack ;) Also a second place at P-N+ stage win and Team classification victories in probably most stage races they entered. A team with a focus on stage races and it's working out for them.

Tjalingi's third place at P-R is a good result yes. For him. He didn't get that result because the team was better than last year. He was lucky. Highly doubt Vansummeren will ever win P-R again, luck as well. But he won because of HIS TEAM. Can't say the same about Tjalingi. The thing to be most proud of is Sebastian Langeveld, he had a great season. All other cyclists of Rabo underperformed for their capabilities imo(besides Tjalingi). Yes, even Gesink.

Instead of calling someone a troll because you think the whole world hates the Dutch, come with real arguments. If you want to compare these results with the one's from last year than you also need to look at the new riders they bought and how they performed on their previous team :)

You're such an deluded Belgian ***. You have your head so high up the *** of Belgian cyclists, noone takes you seriously.
