Philippe Gilbert Discussion Thread

You can't just post an article you've clearly written yourself, disclaiming that it is a great opinion...

Well, you can, but you probably shouldn't.

I think this case teaches everyone a lesson. If you want to post a link to a comment you have written yourself but you don't want that everyone knows that you are the author, then maybe it's not the best idea to post the comment and the link on websites where you have the same username.

Or how about you just don't

Well, one would think that that was a fairly obvious lesson to be taught... :lol:

Now it just looks like I made a comment to keep myself awake...

The person that posted that link to their blog has done so on numerous occasions throughout the forum.

They setup their account here on CN with the sole intent to drive traffic to their blog from this forum (that's a big no no).

We banned their account for good.



PhilGil was fantastic today!

I was screaming at my computer during the sprint, apparently that helped because he won!

***, might as well give LBL to Valverde now.

I was really looking forward to see him in Liege. He is one of the main reasons why the one day races this spring have been so great.

 

[BigMac]

He won the race with a kidney tear?

Noooo. He could have been great in LBL.

 

[portugal11]

Why phil? You have to race liege and teach to those little cowards how to race a monument like liege... now we will have a uphill sprint...

 

[WheelofGear]

Gilbert could have animated the race. Attacking on a beautiful climb like La Redoute. Now they'll be dishonoring the earlier climbs and wait for Nicolas and Ans.

 

[jens_attacks]

Oh god no (

 

[RedheadDane]

Re:

Yup... as if his win wasn't impressive enough.

 

[El Pistolero]

Hopefully he wins 3 stages in the Giro and the points jersey to make up for this.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Well that is a *** bummer -_-

Re:

Is there any other big GC riders with the balls to attack on La Redoute or at least Faucons?

These climbs have been abused the last 5 years. They are made for beautiful racing.

 

[Akuryo]

Alaphilippe out, Gilbert out and yet QS still has one of the favorites for LBL on their roster. What a team ...
Sucks for both of them but maybe Dan Martin can save the day

Kwiatkowski do. Wellens too but I wouldn't consider him a mega-favorite unless it rains.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Wow, this makes his win in AGR all the more impressive!

But we need him to make the race in LBL, too bad.

Hopefully he can get another peak like this later in the season, for WC, autumn classics (Does Lombardia have a super difficult route again?), Canadian races etc.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Looking back, he'll be gutted he didn't give PR a go now

 

[sir fly]

QS team's really unfortunate.
Instead of having the lineup for the podium sweep, they'll have to adapt to the sole leader tactics.
Equally bad for the viewers, as well. Who's going to make the races now?
