LaFlorecita said:Because I am ****ed off that why. He was going to win anyway but this was just ridiculous and it makes me very sad.
Miburo said:So you were mad when Contador kept riding when andy dropped his chain?
I'm 100% sure your beloved AC would do the same ****
Angliru said:You are really and truly conflicted. I'm really trying not to see the implications in your post and attitude.
Miburo said:Anyway Quintana pretty much made the giro boring now. This race is over, kinda sucks.

LaFlorecita said:I was, but this thread isn't about Contador.
Nah he would have been in Majka's/Aru's/Uran's/Evans' position certainly
Just to clarify I am not mad at Quintana. I am mad at RCS, and for that reason I can't be happy for Nairo's win. This stage has ruined the entire race.
Quintana was going to win anyway, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Afrank said:A bit over the top to have something like this ruin the entire race for you IMHO. But I get what your saying.
I'd advise just trying to enjoy what you can of it from here on out, enjoy the attacks, solo attempts, breakaways, etc.

Afrank said:Same here.
Dominance does suck...except when it's from a rider I like.
mr. tibbs said:I think half the posters on this forum should be required to use this as their signature. From Paris-Roubaix to one of the breakaways a few days ago in the Giro, so many people repeat the "undeserving" or "bad win" refrain simply because a race didn't go how they wanted it to.
This isn't happening right now with LaFlo and Miburo--definitely not trying to give that impression--but it does happen all the time on this forum.

maxmartin said:for the first place maybe, but there is still much fighting for the second and third place. It will be interesting to see if Uran can hang on, my prediction is NO.

Escarabajo said:When the organizers designed stage 16 it had "Quintana" written all over the stage and the general GC. So what else were we expecting?

LaFlorecita said:Implications?
And thanks for calling me conflicted, that means a lot to me
