Stage 21: May 27th Milano- Milano 30k ITT

[180mmCrank]

Ditto. I hope this translates into more interest, and better coverage of the sport in Canada.

Dont hold your breath. This is a whole other topic. Sport in Canada...dont get me started. The waste of potential is staggering...

 

[Publicus]

Well, thank god Contador wasn't riding this year. He would have blown them all to bits by minutes in the first week.

Considering he bested Scraponi by 6:10 and JRod by over 11:00, I would say this is a mild understatement.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Parrulo is officially in the Airstream, Christian and Jobiwan gang

Nice.

Jobiwan is back from his winter break, also nice.

 

[Fetisoff]

from what the portuguese ES commentators were saying today, hesjedal has been getting little no exposure at all on the canadian media . . . maybe the win can change that?

Well, his win's on the front page of CBC

TSN

and CTV

Nice.

Jobiwan is back from his winter break, also nice.

Sportzchick should also be back in July as usual after her 11 month break
So she can join me, ACF and greenedge for the evans mafia.

Parrulo is officially in the Airstream, Christian and Jobiwan gang

He'll be out of that Gang just before July though.

You forgot Ryo, btw

yeah, because the way he "won" the 2010 tour was obviously a one-time deal.

god i miss the attacking style of ricco, diluca, pantani and kohl. at least then we would have gotten a deserving winner out of all the time we spent watching the three week tour.

 

[dlwssonic]

i think ryo can't wait to lose another bet to get rid of that avatar.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yeah.

Alberto fans hang around all year long, nice, no?

Yes it will be on the news (for 30s) but the Giro will not get any meaningful coverage. US Pro sports rule the air waves in Canada.

Other sports often have to pay to get coverage on TV ... so they often dont bother.

[Fetisoff]

i think ryo can't wait to lose another bet to get rid of that avatar.

If I'm not mistaken, he just decided to keep that avatar cause he's grown accustomed to it. Maybe Parullo will do the same thing

 

[dlwssonic]

Yeah.

Alberto fans hang around all year long, nice, no?

Yup they are also the most diehard.
Who is in the gang anyway?

 

[dlwssonic]

Actually evans ones do too except for sportzchick who always mysteriously disappears. And ACF is currently busy I suspect.

 

[LaFlorecita]

i think ryo can't wait to lose another bet to get rid of that avatar.

He can get rid of it already but he wants to keep it because it shows "what a ******bag Andy is". Or something like that.

Yawn.... Wake me when you get off your fainting couch and tire of clutching your pearls

So have I. Ryo just won't be ryo without that avatar.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yup they are also the most diehard.
Who is in the gang anyway?

I am.

And Hitch and Angliru I think.

 

[theyoungest]

Hesjedal has joined the pantheon of the cycling greats. The Sporza guys mentioned this is only his 4th career win? Legend.

Also a great result for Vacansoleil, puts Rabobank and their careful season planning and robotic racing to shame.

 

[dlwssonic]

He can get rid of it already but he wants to keep it because it shows "what a ******bag Andy is". Or something like that.

Yes haha! He said that was his reason for choosing it a year ago because andy was smooching the dolphin I think.

 

[Parrulo]

He'll be out of that Gang just before July though.

You forgot Ryo, btw

i will be back to the squalo aquapark by june 27th so with more then enough time to welcome the july crowd with my sharp teeth

 

[dlwssonic]

I am.

And Hitch and Angliru I think.

I thought hitch is more loyal to the samu gang.
I think the contador gang is pretty huge.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Actually evans ones do too except for sportzchick who always mysteriously disappears. And ACF is currently busy I suspect.

Yeah you're right. It probably has something to do with the riders people are a fan of. Andy fans... well there isn't much excitement for them outside of July.

 

[Parrulo]

I am.

And Hitch and Angliru I think.

i am also part of the alberto gang.

actually i think the hitch and angliru are also a part of the squalo gang like myself
