National Championship Discussion/Results

[Michele]

Having seen the last 3 laps, I would say that it was an interesting race, but not quite as great as people suggest.

Oh, and Moser is amazing. That is all.

It was more fun to watch compared to many other editions.

now that's a route i want the worlds to have. absolutely magnificent

i will bash that federation whenever i can but the chosen route was gorgeous.

Someone to claim that "riders make the race, routes don't matter etc" in 4,3,2...
I fully agree with you btw.

I thought Pellizotti had won, but this isn't him.

The worlds in Firenze will have an even harder course, isn't it?

The route of Firenze is still not official and under definition, but it might have this climb

 

[LaFlorecita]

Now that would be awesome!

He must have talked to Wiggins and obviously he's now following his slim diet.

[Eshnar]

Now that would be awesome!

It will, in any case.
Zomegnan is in the project.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Now that would be awesome!

i amazed that you didn't mention the e.t guy

Pellizotti looks unrecognizable?

Maybe the sauce was messing with his sense of taste - since the come back he's given up trying to look like a 40 year old boy band reject.

Great race. Moser was the real deal once again.
Don't get the bashing on Nibali honestly. He's not peaking for the italian championships and coming straight from hard training. He looked much much better than in Dauphine.

There were rumours about why Gilbert bleached his hair, maybe they were true

 

[LaFlorecita]

i amazed that you didn't mention the e.t guy

Zam! *grabs pitchfork*

 

[LaFlorecita]

 

[SafeBet]

He looks exactly the same, but no hair

 

[jens_attacks]

he did the right thing.nowadays there are helmets so they look all the same anyway...
should have done that earlier though

 

[Parrulo]

He looks exactly the same, but no hair

I think the Schlecks live on the Antilles as well?

 

[LaFlorecita]

No he is the only pro. So he always wins.

 

[woodenswan]

He looks exactly the same, but no hair

if i didnt know that indeed he sported that silly hairdo a few years back i would probably be convinced that it's photoshop that's responsible.
he should have kept it and added Gilbert's earrings.. just to spice things up

actually, it was probably that hairdo that made it hard for me in the past to root for the guy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No he is the only pro. So he always wins.

Actually there are 10/12 competitors. But they all suck.
2 years ago at the road race he wasn't sure what to expect so he just went full out from the start. Ended up riding the rest at 30 minutes

 

[The Sheep]

is he going to the Olympics?
