he's sick as has been said 50 times
Not everybody read your posts or they have you in the ignore list. ;)

Btw, @brassyn just posted this: :D
Chances of Rujano abandon being FabianVuelta-esque & just a dive over a fence to the nearest train station?

I honest to god hope danny nelissen will die for what he just said on eurosport about gabrovski :rolleyes:

I bet he said Gabrovski is a hardcore doper, despite having no proof.

He's probably right though :D

i think the rujano illness was overplayed, he just didnt have the level of form either, and minute something else went wrong he blamed that.

David Harmon and Sean Kelly agree with you.
Harmon thinks as little of Rujano as Ryo thinks a lot.
They drew a comparison with his 2006 effort, when he made
one small attack, then climbed off.
So, not that dissimilar, just more protracted.

It is disappointing, as this Giro needed someone to light a fire underneath it.

So, would we still agree that Rujano is somewhat better than Frank Schleck, as at least he tried and finished a few stages where he sucked, before climbing off the bike and packing his bags?

yeah Mellow, id agree he was someone who when in his powers could do something to light it up but never enough of gc threat in my view, he makes pozzovivo look good in a tt.

I still enjoy cycling even when we dont get spilts you got admire their ability to hang in sometimes attacking just isnt sensible. Basso and Hesjedal suit steady pace, scarponi looks off his game, and rodriguez has done his bit to be fair on stages to get bonus time. Pozzovivo should try something today that im sure of.

Gadret or Nieve if pacing themselves better could get in the mix. Watch out for De Gendt too who finished strongly last day.

in 2006 rujano. didn't suck at all. often I think I'm the only one who actually watched cycling all those years ago. rujano retired out of giro 2006 after his body become undercold or however you say that during a downhil and that whole giro was to prepare for the tour of that year anyway. his first attack saturyday by rujano was very strong btw. but again he suffered and body blocked in cold of downhil. once again it shows how 1000 things must go right for rujano and everything did except the weather for 2 days :(

rujano is even more ridicolously limited than Gesink :(

Doesn't Frank have other meaningful goals this season?

You were the only one watching through yellow, blue and red-tinted glasses.

I read some doubted about Pauwels , maybe he spared himself and put himelf deliberately in some stages in the bus to have some dry powder today...

Holding hands with his brother at the Tour, costing him any chance of actually winning it on the road? Sure..

I see Rujano at the Vuelta this year anyway, so he's got other goals as well one might say
