Teams & Riders Nairo Quintana discussion thread

[Miburo]

I'm pretty sure these guys are not the only ones who will spread this bs. That's how bad the media is in cycling

Quintana apparently 'came from nowhere.' 'BOUT TIME YOU STARTED FOLLOWING THE SPORT YOU REPORT ON. Clowns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2660DUHobM …

 

[manafana]

have say I love Quintana not afraid to try something and hes improving all time, the presence of valverde means their hasnt been pressure on him this season, and funny enough he won the race he wasnt expected to do well in by market makers.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Don't know if this has been posted before, but this is perhaps the dumbest **** I've ever heard a commentator say...and that says a lot.

Just you wait untill Quintana beats sky somewhere again.

Why does this have anything to do with Sky?

Sky is clean cycling, whoever beats it dopes

 

[JimmyFingers]

Wrong forum pal. My point is those were American pundits right? Why drag Sky into a discussion of their comments. Usual MO of these forums of course

Wrong thread, wrong forum. You should know better.

Because they had been calling Porte as the winner for 2 days, both of the ITT and the GC.

Edit: Well Gogo was calling for Martin in the ITT, but thought his time might not hold up.

I was answering a question.

"They" had nothing on the Clinic that was going apoplectic at Sky's performance in race whilst ignoring everyone elses

Movistar are getting better and Valverde is saving himself....
Tours could be close and exciting this year, but you won't read anything about that in the Clinic.

Not much, only when its deserved. Don't get the inference of 5 fingers btw

Sounds like a cool name with 5 included. Like you are east end gangster.

 

[JimmyFingers]

It's my old DJ name, weirdly evolving from Jimmy Two Times, the character in Goodfellas; 'I'll go get the papers, get the papers'

So you weren't far off

Quintana is an easy target as a non-English speaker.

Sickening to think these are the same guys who protected Armstrong for f*cking decades.

 

[wwabbit]

The big question is, why are we discussing all these in this forum and not in the other forum?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Everyone has to love Quintana, if he goes balistic this summer he is in amongst my top 5 favourite riders

 

[JimmyFingers]

Seriously rate him and Henao, love to watch them ride.

I wondered that.

Don't be vague, who's performances were "the clinic" (whatever exactly that is) ignoring and why were they suspicious?

 

[WindLessBreeze]

Pure climbers in post-EPO era

Now that the Big framed, EPO filled riders have been discarded, true cycling will see an honest comeback. The competitive advantage of natural high haematocrit, Hi VO/max, low muscle mass dudes is back.
Just like in baseball, the small game will be played. No more home run derbies by 'roids built Terminators.
So, as lots of young promising stars hailing out of the Andes get results, beware of the New Africans as well.

Remember that this is the Quintana thread and that it is in the Road Racing sub-forum.

Someone interested in what Ryo thinks of it?

On the youtube vid the last comment was from a guy with the some profile pic as ryo, could be coincidence but after reading the comment i doubt it

I stopped listening after 30 seconds. I hope both of these clowns die a horrible death, no joking. quintana has always been clean and a mega talent since junior age. he was also national u23 itt champion when he was just 18 years old!

Can't get more classic.
