Me, aggressive? Why would I be?

That would take hours of psychoanalysis, and we don't have the time.
Spot on. I've just figured easier answer, but can't talk now. Anyway that answer would still not be the fundamental answer, but rather superficial observation.

Phinney 5 minutes down. His career is over.

Oh c'mon man. He never hyped himself up. Fans did.

He made an extraordinary return to racing after his injury.

Maybe he's just a different type of rider now.
Hype or not, I don't think he'll ever get back to his previous level. It's a shame but obviously he's done well to just get back into racing.

Dumoulin is most of all dissapointed, because he simply wanted to win. People tell him he should be proud, but he doesn't care ride now.

He's a sport though, because he says he couldn't have raced 47 seconds faster anyways. I think he's generous here, because breaking your wrist 3 weeks ago and thus not being able to train properly certainly didn't help. Doesn't matter though since a what if doesn't help anyone.

Crazy performance by Cancellara today. Really great and nice goodbye. Van Dijk and Cancellara showed that this course was certainly possible for the non climbers. Pure on power.

Dumoulin always comes over very well. I'd certainly have been cheering for him if not for Fabs and he'll have future opportunities. Hard not to be delighted for Fabs to retire on such a high. I hope he does retire though. It's not going to get better than that.

Damn poor Jonathan :( but what a great great ride by Spartacus!

You and Froome just can't get it together, eh?
Is it bad that I like Castro and would have loved to see him get a medal? Surely we all have our faves?
 
Obviously a great ride by Cancellara. I'm gutted for Rohan Dennis though. Only 8 seconds from Bronze after his mechanical and bike change.

Hard to take after pulling out of the Tour to focus for his Olympics ride. He's taking it well though " "I can't be too disappointed...I can still be proud of how I rode". Absolutely!

Amazing ride by Cancellara, be sorry to see him retire, maybe the TT WC as well?

Froome might be an amazing GC rider but that's it, he ain't no Hinault, ain't no Wiggins either
You mean Wiggans the great?

My prediction of Cancellera beating Froomedog by 3 minutes was wrong, beat froome by a minute and change, Cancellera had a bad day in the saddle. Scary close, LOL, go Spartacus.

If Dumolins wrist had been an issue, he would have given his spot to another Netherlands rider, great sportsmen and women, go by that code, all for the team.
