Sorry but when is it correct to bring a crash talk to the clinic? Tomorrow? But tomorrow is 2 days after the anniversary of a riders death?!!!! Maybe the day after tomorrow? . . . .

Beautiful illustration of a mods bias. When I mentioned Bradley's crash with a van here as a parody of the clinic linking anything he did to doping, I got a warning the Hog went mental with righteous indignation. Hypocritical and one-sided, as per usual.

I'm not going to call you a name, but I think its poor modding that discussing of crashing is tolerated here, so ban away if it makes you feel better. Last time you did it because I corrected your spelling.

Apologies if I didn't make that clear.. The superior lead out for Cav was at HTC.. He was frankly shafted at Sky.

OPQS ain't HTC, but I think he'll improve now, he has to learn to use whatever train is available... Just like most other top sprinters

Please, don't requote those posts. I still have nightmares about that.

As my grandmother used to say "oh you do go on".

Jimmy you'll live. You may need to grow up. Buy you'll live.

Great job missing the point.

And insults are not allowed, next time you will be handed a ban.

Great job in not understanding idoimatic english. It wasn't an insult, it was a general description;

'You're' was used in a way akin to the german "man ist" not "Sie sind", or "on est" not "Vous etes".

And I'll thank you after the last fiasco to allow another mod to act on this. i have no faith or trust in your fairness.

Is it at all possible that Mr.Leinders took his magic drops and left, and that "Sir" is now so out of his mind that he thinks he can do it clean ?

Or am I just dreaming and hoping to see him come in 5th tomorrow instead of smashing everybody by 3 minutes ?

I've been saying this for years. Maybe Wiggo will finally listen.

Don't worry. By the end Wiggins still might be able to beat Danilo DiLuca--provided he does not throw a tantrum and cry his way out of the Giro.

The key to cycling success is choosing a good family doctor.

Off topic, but what does it take to boot merde like DiLuca out of cycling for good?

 

[the sceptic]

thought Di Luca stopped doping in 2009.

 

[Benotti69]

thought Di Luca stopped doping in 2009.

According to some it ended in 2006 and now everything is cleanER

So happy Di Luca did not win today. Hope he gets popped in the race.

Why are the Skybots so angry today?

 

[ebandit]

angry

Why are the Skybots so angry today?

being unfairly warned by a mod would make me irate too

why use the phrase 'skybot'...............seems rather juvenile to me

from someone who suggests a member 'grows up?'

my thoughts too- seriously, anyone who didn't LOVE that stage, crashes, solo rides, chases etc. has a weird motivation in being involved in a pro cycling forum. I think downhill attacks are particularly good fun - sort of sorts out the dopers from the talented dopers like no other thing do.

I don't want to see any members growing.

Got it?

yes! an exciting stage for the fans

not much fun for the riders though.............such dangerous conditions

sad to see so many crashing.............i hope that there were no serious

injuries

Yes it's odd. Very odd. I love these types or stages. Appears some want robotic borg styled riding.

Nibs took the race by the scruff of the neck. Fell off, got back on, fell again and finished with the front group.

Wiggins was dropped by the lead group. Crashed going 8km per hour and then sulked for the last 4km whilst expecting his team to soft pedal in with him.

Wiggins doesn't deserve to win the Giro racing like this. Lance should kick his a55 and tell him to man up.

LOL Thanks, I'm now dealing with a PC covered with a nose worth of Chardonnay

going down with the ship it seems. Im sure Jimmyvickers will be back to normal when Dawg wins the tour.

Right it was all about the "idoimatic english"

Are you trying to bully a mod into moderating you, again? Didn't work that well the last time. I guess that is the reason you call it a fiasco

There should be 3-4 stages like this in any GT but people love MTF's for no reason

Parullo. You are the bully here. As you well know. Your little bait above makes it very clear this a personal, spiteful and bigotted attack. You didnt understand the idiom and started throwing threats.

Wonder when you will get the ban this harassment deserves. We'll see.....

This is pretty uncalled for.

Sky is the topic.

Anti depressants for downhilling. For instance.

You are a very angry man.

Cool your jets. Step away from the keyboard.

Seriously just take a few deep breaths.

Coming in on this late but I did watch it this afternoon.
Discussing the crash does belong here. Why? Because of the incessant talk about "marginal gains" and the fact that $ky have two of the worst descenders in the peloton.
Do they not desend the mountain in Tenerife?
As for Wiggins he looked like a toddler who had thrown his bottle out of the pram after he crashed.
Why did they make other riders wait for him again on that downhill finish? He didn't even attempt to get on their wheels until the flat!
Didn't notice the ice on the knee but he will probably need some meds now won't he?

Thanks, Greg.

That's a perfectly reasonable discussion to have. The mind wanders to the tale of Riviére.

Hilarious stuff, yes?

On that subject, I thought this was one of my better posts:

Why do you think they call it dope?
