Didn't TSF even say literally he tipped Farrar more for 2nd or 3rd place

That is weird.

[hrotha]

Haha
"Were you very afraid of Pierrick Fédrigo?"
"Yeeeeeah"

 

[sublimit]

would the person who ridiculed my tip of farrar for 2nd like their humble pie hot, or cold

He reckons Jeremy Hunt is not a sprinter circa 2002. The guy cant be taken seriously.

i just see the funny side now..

 

[theyoungest]

Bah. I don't like these HTC wins. Apollonio looked quite impressive there for a while, beating Gilbert at his own game.

Yeah lol those French commentators kept going on about Fedrigo and Chavanel
Haven't seen them at all.

Compared to them, Sporza are actually very neutral and objective.
God what impossible chauvinists at France 3

 

[roundabout]

Appollonio nearly killed himself in the space of about two minutes.

Naff race. Not even an extra lap can make it better.

 

[sublimit]

I picked Sagan and Leukemans and they rode quite well but not good enough today.

Goss is a good rider though, perhaps showing why McEwen has been dropped from the Aussie Worlds squad.

Chavanel almost single-handedly bridged the gap to the Vacansoleil group, it looked like it was going to be the right move but it didn't work out in the end. Regardless I'm just replying so that I can ask you to edit out my embarrassing typo from that quote.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ah ok, I haven't paid full attention I must admit.

Regardless. My comment about French commentators still stands

 

[Furbo_]

Standings are wrong. Rojas made top-5.

 

[ttrider]

Sagan unfortunately burnt his matches chasing up to Martin
He s incredibly strong just a shame he didnt have the experience to know that it would come back together

What a lousy race though, Eneco was far better today

you think, i preferred plouay,far more exciting finish

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The plouay final was much more interesting than ENECO Tour today.

Loads of attacks and dangerous groups forming. The fact that it ended in a 50 man sprint is no reason to call the race lousy or boring in my opinion.
Just because the last 500m where an anti-climax doesn't mean the race was sh.t

 

[insideout leadout]

When I least expect it Goss takes it....everytime he wins it's like "who the hell is that? Cav isn't even in the race....oh Goss"

agreed always had a unpredictable feel.
Unlike say, a bunch sprint at the tour.

was an entertaining last 20km i thought.

 

[Ryaguas]

Leonardo Duque making 4th... Great for him... I take him FTW but 4th is nice... Cunego not even close

 

[auscyclefan94]

Matt Goss wins easily Farrar second.

Good day for Australia - bad day for ACF94 for posting an endless stream of garbage.

Endless stream of garbage? With the exception of this year my point till stands. The fact people were tipping fedrigo and the sought to win proves that people don't think this is a conventional sprinters race.

haha acf impressive insight strikes again
nice win by goss. good night for the aussies.

Your an aussie when it suits you. I have been right multiple times throughout this season so shut your trap.

Agree + 1.
Plouay is a fine course but at this time in the season , even with one lap added, you will get a bunch sprint. Who disputed the finish makes it quite exciting

umm what? I always support the dutch, and I didn't say "nice win for the aussies" as in me, I meant literally nice win for the aussies (just like when i say "nice win for the french" ). You really are thick So yeah, I want Australia to do well and succeed, but I never really support them. Get your facts right pal.

But yeah that is all irrelevant, basically i was suggesting your total lack of insight in this sport is just hilarious to me

and fyi you have been right only cause you always back cuddles, and he obviously win sometimes

 

[blaxland]

Well done Matt Goss geat result showing that you aren't just a leadout man for Cavendish.

WTF is wrong with you? I put a wink next to it you moron. I have been right multiples in races not with cuddles being involved.
