Stage 20: Saturday May 26th, Caldes/Val di Sole - Passo dello Stelvio 219km

[hatcher]

Interview-attack time.

 

[Fetisoff]

Worst interview ever

 

[Publicus]

Zaugggggg!!!!! [I've always wanted to type that at the appropriate moment]

 

[Pharazon]

Serge Pauwels certainly has improved since he left Sky.

he did **** all at sky if i remember rightly

 

[hrotha]

Both can't be true. It can't be both pointless (only dropped 3 people) and have a point at the same time.

We need a consistent message from the moaners.

What made it pointless is that he stopped.

 

[Christian]

Zaugg's climbing style is just a pleasure to watch

 

[LaFleur]

Well that was .... embarassing...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Serge Pauwels certainly has improved since he left Sky.

He is still not on the level he was at Cervelo though (2352352x better than at Sky)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Definite bit of handlebar chewing from Ryder.

Then again, this is steep, and he's noticeably taller and larger than the other contenders. Hunching right over is probably good for him, given his somewhat awkward style and where his centre of gravity will be relative to that of, say, Pozzovivo or Purito.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

idiots doing interviews at eurosport in every possible way :facepalm:

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Whoever said that Canadians are the salt of the earth but not its pepper, has it bang on.

 

[Sophistic]

cant wait for a hesjedal appearance on letterman, might top the joaquin phoenix as rapper episode

 

[seldon71]

Would love someone using old Kelme-tactics of sending domestiques all over the road in front and use them as an attack launching pads... But that seems to be yesteryear

Also, people like Gadret, Nieve etc. should probably try to make a deal where they attack 1st, try to gain a minute and then wait for big gun to leap up for co-operation. But apparently not any creative attacking in Mortirolo...

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

And now an advertisement Oh my god Eurosport...

Yeah, they should all work for free and provide coverage as a public service...

 

[Parrot23]

Makes sense. Thanks.

 

[meat puppet]

Stetina hanging on at the back, must be?

 

[MrRoboto]

Was Hesjedal's only bad day after he had a big day the day before? (Pays. Could be vulnerable today.)

That's right. But he didn't look too good on stage 8 either.

 

[Rocksteady]

Stetina hanging on at the back, must be?

Yeah, at least Ryder has a "O crap, mechanical" guy.

Taking interview lessons from DZ... great.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol what kind of road is this??? Goat pad?

 

[will10]

tarmac fail

 

[Descender]

Both can't be true. It can't be both pointless (only dropped 3 people) and have a point at the same time.

We need a consistent message from the moaners.

Again, how about it was a half-arsed effort and not a real, sustained attack?

 

[DominicDecoco]

Mountain bike racing now.

 

[Fetisoff]

Surely Nieve or even Pozzovivo till attack on that concrete stretch that goes up to 22%... surely


On a side-note. Why do cry-babies still bother?
