NOOOO!!!!
This cant be happening!!
He looked as if he were about 5 kgs above his ideal weight though, so I doubt it was an act. Might find his form during T-A though.El Pistolero said:Gilbert will win Milan-San Remo, you heard it first here
I'm not even joking lol, what he did in Strade Bianche seemed like an act. Riding dead last in the peloton is usually not his style, not even when his form is crap.
Panda Claws said:I have to agree with El Pistolero here. Gilbert never rides at the back unless he doesn't give a ****. Just watch the last mountain stages at the TDF. Gilbert did not have to do anything there so he was just at the back of the group all the time.
Timmy-loves-Rabo said:uhuh, you supporting a pro-gilbert argument is an unlikely event.
very credible.
it's not reasonable to think gilbert might simply have bad form atm.
I'm sure he'll be alright for the races that matter tho.

Doesn't look like hiding your form to me...

Astana close, but no cigar.
Saxo safe.
The carrots in the red zone, again.
Pais Vasco can't come soon enough.
