[Moondance]

Oh Moondance, can I catch €10 please!!!

60. Edvald Boasson Hagen.

Thank you.

What's the easiest way to get it to you?

 

[Dr. Maserati]

Awesome race. No more namby pamby World's circuits please.
Chess on Wheels, Gladiator style.
Cadel erases his TDF ghosts and inherits a cursed jersey!

Well.... at least now he has an excuse!

I am actually delighted for the guy - he has been very close to big wins for a few years - he deserved some luck and a big victory.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What's the easiest way to get it to you?

paypal probably, if you have it. (cym2ruben@gmail.com)

 

[Dr. Maserati]

Though I'm far from being an Evans fan: "Chapeau, Cadel".

And the opposite of chapeau (chausettes ?) to the Spanish for their wondrous tactical brilliance. Quite astonishing.

Now then, how do I put Aussies on ignore here ?

LOL.... a temporary button could be handy!

Does anyone know what song Valverde might twitter for Cadel?

Never mess with that guy. According to cyclingnews he's the 15th best MTBer in the world. So yeah.

 

[Moondance]

No paypal. Never even heard of it actually.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Direct transfer? pm me then

 

[Moondance]

Direct transfer? pm me then

It might be old skool, but i could snail mail it to you.

I hope you don't mind, but I'd rather not direct transfer. It's just a principle thing that I don't want someone I don't know over the internet getting my bank-account number.

He seems legit

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Who doesn't know me over the internet. I must be an internet legend by now.
Certainly on cycling related forum.

It all relates back to a certain Ruben Lampe. Also worlds 19th and 15th best mountainbiker according to cyclingnews readers in 2004/2005, strange, as I have never touched an MTB in a race..ever, and I was only 18/19 years old in five years ago!

 

[Moondance]

Very likely. However my family unfortunately has had a very bad experience with identitity theft in the past and as a result any scenario that results in my bank account number becoming known to someone i know only ever the internet is highly unlikely to occur. Like I said, i'll happily snail mail it, i'll even pay the 44c stamp out of pocket, I only need an adress (so i can come by later and steal my ten euros back)

 

[hillytn]

a well-deserved win. really good ride by Evans.

 

[thehog]

He will look so ghey in that jersey next year.

 

[Zoncolan]

At the right place at the right time. No hesitation. Full on attack.
Good on you Cadel. Still don't like you though.

Shame about Cancellara. They were all over him. I bet the Spaniards really hate him now, he made them suffer so much.

Not a Cadel fan, but well done

 

[blaxland]

aussie,aussie,aussie oi,oi,oi......great ride cadel you wre the strongest today and now australia has a road race world champion...

 

[blaxland]

Are you kidding?

This was one of the most exciting Worlds I've ever seen.

i agree with you.very exciting and lots of attacks.....found a new respect for some riders...great showcase for cycling today..

have to agree i think cancellara destroyed italy with one attack. Well done to Cadel

 

[luckyboy]

Pretty great race from what I saw - only the last few laps as my internet at uni has a cap for each month

Anyway, chapeau Cadel. I don't particularly dislike him, but it was nice to see him win. Would've been something special for Cancellara to win this as well though

Phil ligett commented about the worlds being in Geelong next year 150 times during the coverage. I was going mad. We had matt Keenan who is a great commentator. Phil didn't make too many mistakes last night and it was a good call by him. Our coverage started 1/2 an hour late when all the big boys were starting to come out and play. We had to listen to Lewis hamilton get interviewed and watch cars go around a circuit 60 times. BORING...

especially since webber crashed out at the 3/4 mark.....

My favorite quote from the race:

"If he'd slowed 3km from the finish [just before the summit], I could have caught him," said Kolobnev. "But on the uphill, he pushed a lot, he was strong. I couldn't make it [across to him] by myself. But if the gap had been closer, I could have done it."

See--I could have won--if only that other guy didn't finish ahead of me.

No, really...I could have.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Great ride by Wes Sulzberger. 23 years old and he rode two laps on the front of the peleton, reducing the lead groups margin by a minute. Evans even said he would like some of these guys on his team next year. The worlds performance asks a question about an australian pro team being formed.

 

[Ferdinand Artichoke]

hilarious

I reckon I would have been in with a strong chance also...
