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

[Publicus]

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.

I think this is the underreported portion of this story. Great result for them.

 

[Big Doopie]

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

oh, man, i can't figure out why these riders just don't attack like rasmussen and contador at the 2007 tour. now that's how you race a bike. these giro riders are such losers...

 

[LaFlorecita]

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

Hitch is part of two gangs. The Samu gang isn't as huge as the Alberto gang though.

 

[Publicus]

I am.

And Hitch and Angliru I think.

I'm pretty sure I've long earned my reputation as a fan boy.

 

[LaFlorecita]

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

Nice.

I'm also part of the squalo gang. Actually I'm part of most Spanish/Italian gangs.

nice sarcasm there, but more doping talk and you will get a warning.

and that goes for everyone, last warning if you want to discuss doping go to the clinic.

I see you are working yourself up into a fever pitch. Folks stay back, I do believe the Big Doopie is going to blow...

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm pretty sure I've long earned my reputation as a fan boy.

Yes you're also part of the gang. Also Carol and HL2037, fellow fangirls.

 

[Red Rick]

I am.

And Hitch and Angliru I think.

Count me in

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hitch is part of two gangs. The Samu gang isn't as huge as the Alberto gang though.

When it comes to Samu, Hitch has support from a few. But even if he didn't, when it comes to Samu Hitch is very capable of being a one man gang.

 

[Big Doopie]

fair enough. my apologies. i just got tired of all the whining about the race.

i thought it was an pretty exciting giro. there should have been more ITT.

 

[LaFlorecita]

When it comes to Samu, Hitch has support from a few. But even if he didn't, when it comes to Samu Hitch is very capable of being a one man gang.

Oh yes he is more than capable of that lol. But yeah there are quite a lot that like Samu.

 

[dlwssonic]

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.

Yeah very true. Evans and contador fans get excitement all year round.
Poor andy fans have to wait every year for that one race.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Count me in

Forgot about you as well.

 

[staubsauger]

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

well, rabobank just won california because of their trust in robert gesink. if they now bring up one of their 3 big guns already in good shape at suisee to win it (kruiswijk!?) their palmares will also be pretty fine.

but it's very nice for vacansoleil to finally have a gt podium as well as a gc contender with de gendt after the fail with cobra and mosquito last year.

Yes I pity the Andy fans, but especially the Andy fangirls because they have to fangirl Andy.

 

[dlwssonic]

wow the contador gang as expected is huge.
And there is also the deadly Dutch mafia!
Which will support gesink.

 

[dlwssonic]

Yes I pity the Andy fans, but especially the Andy fangirls because they have to fangirl Andy.

Haha andy is actually way better looking than a lot of more riders.
But the girls will have to fangirl his whiny attitude

 

[LaFlorecita]

He looks like a horse.

Yes very huge I should list them somewhere... But where...

 

[dlwssonic]

He looks like a horse.

really?? Hahahah Im a guy so I cannot really tell very well how good looking he is.
You are the girl after all, you be the judge.

 

[Ildabaoth]

Speaking of gangs, since am I colombian am I supposed to be in Ryo's gang? That perspective is really really awful.

None of them can win Suisse, maybe Gesink himself but it remains to be seen what winning the Tour of California translates to in a strong field of contenders.

Do you primarily support Colombians? If yes, you're in the Colombian gang which is led by Ryo.
