The Gianni Moscon Bandwagon Jumping Thread

Re: Re:

Watching in todays ITT looks like he's dropped at least 3 to 4 kgs.

Yep, he and Kwia have got the "climbing shape" now.

They're both gonna be at the front of The Train come July. It's going to be fun to watch . . . Sir Dave has been storing up all his anger, and we'll see the result at this year's TDF. Oh, the humanity!

 

[Valv.Piti]

If you think Movistar is gonna have a great team in the Tour, just you wait for Sky...

3 versatile monsters like Thomas, Moscon and Kwito could superdomestique for Froome during the whole race if everybody else crashed out. No lies, great in every terrain. Then you have two of the best climbers in Bernal and Poels and then some flat classics power in Rowe and Baarle. Its a pretty insane team tbh.

 

[tobydawq]

Castroviejo will probably be there instead of van Baarle, I think.

But yes, it's frightening. Whether Froome himself will be frightening too shall be interesting to see.

Moscon is 1kg lighter than durning the last Vuelta.
After the injury durning the Winter he messed up his preparation and lacked a big of power at the start of the season, so he tried to compensate that by getting bigger for Roubaix, but it didn't really work.
That's why he's 6kg lighter than at Roubaix, 3-4kg lighter than his usualy classics weight and 1 kg lighter than durning the Vuelta, to put things in perspective.

Insane for flat, insane for mountains, super insane for ttt.

 

[Nirvana]

He's lighter, after Gent Wevelgem he said that he was 3 kgs heavier than at the Vuelta, if he has dropped 6 kgs since this spring, as he said to Gazzetta, he's 3 kgs lighter than last fall.

Yeah, when every team is down to 1 or 0 domestiques in a mountain stage Froome will still have 5. The more I think about the more I believe this tour will be horrible and all the discussion about the other contenders completely useless as Froome will win this with one leg anyway. in the whole giro he went deep twice so he is currently probably as fresh as a daisy complaining why he can't ride both dauphine and tds.

Lol. I don't understand posts like these. Why assume that Froome can't be fatigued like everybody else?

To protect oneself against disappointment? Some sort of negative denial?

It seems odd.

Cause Froome is the greatest rider after Merckx and will make it 4 in a row to complete His legend.
Nobody can stop Froome and Sky, they train better than everybody else and discovered marginal gains in the smallest details of cycling.
We should all be thankful and amazed for their wisdom.

Edit: even in their great mighty there are treacherous forces out there, non-scientific ones mind it, but sorcerous and arcane, from witchcraft of old.
Indeed only bad luck in the form of grandmaster voodoo specialist Vincenzo Nibali can stop Froome and Sky.

Okay, glad to have that cleared up.

so that's some people hope for the tour?

Voodoo....Christ on a bike!

 

[Climbing]

Yep, it will be Jesus Christ, that can resurrect at will, against Voodoo Child, that can strike even months later.

Last time the voodoo worked and Nibali stole the Vuelta.

Can't wait to see the tractor flying up the alps! :lol:

 

[del1962]

Darren talks to Alap, Michal to Brice, poor Gianni all on his own

 

[SafeBet]

Moscon has been cleared of the accusations concerning the Reichenback affair, says Gazzetta.

 

[wouterkaas]

Well fair enough then, I hope we can now finally leave the mud throwing behind us.

 

[silvergrenade]

Thought FDJ had 10 eye witnesses...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I mean, no matter if you think he did it or not was this even remotely surprising? Unless we had a mind reading machine or much better pictures proving this would be very hard.

 

[Squire]

Re:

So that's another few kgs lost, off his shoulders this time. He'll definitely be flying up the Alps.

 

[classicomano]

That settles it then, I am firmly back on the bandwagon.

 

[Nirvana]

From what I've read it's not an acquittal because he wasn't guilty but because there is a lack of evidence (footage of the crash) and both riders had witnesses that confirmed the two sides, was legally impossible to reach a verdict.

Anyway even Fondriest that know well him wasn't sure about his version, at "Sui pedali magazine" when asked about the case he said that Moscon denied but he spoke with other riders and they report a different version.

 

[yaco]

Of course it's an acquittal or Moscon would have been suspended.

 

[infeXio]

Re:

Try reading Nirvana's post one more time

 

[shalgo]

It is not an affirmative decision that he is innocent of the charges, but instead a decision that they could not conclude he was guilty because of the conflicting and inconclusive evidence. Under these circumstances, it is correct that he should receive no punishment, but that also doesn’t mean that we all have to believe him.
