I would not trust anything coming out of their mouths. I want to see what coming out of their legs.RedheadDane said:He said himself that he was sick/injured.
good post JspearJspear said:...Quintana will strike in this final week....and I still think he can win the overall.If Quintana loses I'll congratulate you on your prediction, but don't get comfy to soon. He ain't finished yet.

No more ridiculous than your selected forum name for a rider who is obviously not the best by any stretch of the imagination.RichieTheBest said:there's nothing criminal to support someone, admire a rider, expect a solid perfomance from him, but when the only thing expected from him is crushing the opposition in the mountains and it doesn't happen for some reason.. either way, it looks a bit ridiculous.
With the gaps he's made today he needs 7 MTFs to overtake Urán and more than 12 to overtake Pozzovivo. He needs to up his game if he wants to win.icefire said:One way or another, his riding style so far is worryingly similar to that of his teammate Valverde![]()
Dont worry mi amigo.You will never forget on 3rd week of this giro.Dekker_Tifosi said:Quintana has clearly been schooled by Valverde![]()
Or watched to much at Evans last week and copied his style.
Hope we see the old Nairito in the last week.
I hope so, because apart from today and the ITT, which was great, the first two weeks of the giro were forgetfulILovecycling said:Dont worry mi amigo.You will never forget on 3rd week of this giro.![]()

That dig on the last 100m after wheelsucking Pozzovivo for 4k was a pretty sad sight.
Agree. Quintana has shown that he is not afraid of attacking if he feels good. Today he was doing what he has to do, nothing wrong in this.Escarabajo said:Whatever pleases your desire.
I just watched it and it did not look as bad as people put it in here. People are playing too much video games nowadays. In the past I have defended Evans and his riding because he was riding to his strengths. Today I do the same with Quintana while he recuparetes. It is not easy really.
People expects a Pantani like performance in every fricking climb of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta. It is really tiresome. Do you guys remember how he was doing that? Do you remember that???? I do. And I remember the way he was riding towards the end of his career. Nobody has said anything about that. Even Horner looked many times stronger than Pantani on his final year's of his career.
Pozzovivo felt a different way lolEscarabajo said:Whatever pleases your desire.

smartness=cowardJelantik said:Considering what he has been going through, I thought Quintana rode a smart race. Wheel suck or no wheel suck. He needs to chip in the time as soon as possible, while he is slowly recovering from his illness. So today, he did just that. 25 sec for a not 100% Quintana today, is a good sign. Maybe 3rd week, when he recovers fully, it could be more than 1 minute for each mountain![]()
Pozzovivo's comments expose Quintana's lack of experience/strategy. They could've gained more time on Uran, Evans and the NKOTB. As simple as that.maxmartin said:Pozzovivo gains time but vents his anger at Quintana at Giro d'Italia

Quintana comported himself with dishonor. Period. If he said he couldn't do more than wheel suck, then it isn't tolerable to jump as he did in the end. Of course he can choose to do so, but apart from displaying a basenss not befiting of his stature, he has now made an enemy and sullied his reputation among his colegues, which is never fortuitous in a grand tour.Escarabajo said:Whatever pleases your desire.

Well he was dealing with allergies and the after effects from his crash. So due to those things I think he (rightly so) wasn't feeling too confident in his abilities. So decided to play it safe.Dekker_Tifosi said:Quintana has clearly been schooled by Valverde![]()

Is there a Colombian rider you like?maxmartin said:smartness=coward![]()
Maybe Pozzo need to stop doing it! He needs to change strategy.maxmartin said:Pozzovivo felt a different way lol
