No wonder increased complaints about the forum becoming childish and full of insults, always coincide with and increase of posting from you. .
Ladies and gents, here's the grumpy ol' Hitch, heavy dose of condescendency and zero sense of humor. Remember last year when I asked if you bought a mirror yet? It's never late sir :rolleyes:

Desagree, they don't allow him to do that, he was just faster (as he is good descender). And he even managed to take few seconds on Nibali, that was no luck.

He didn't get back on during the descent, but only in the valley because almost no-one wanted to race.

I am not saying it is likely, but he will go into this giro as one of the 10 best climbers (if you ask me) and alot can happen in 21 days

He will have to work for Kreuziger.

Im not grumpy. On the contrary, I posted that because I like stickin it to you;) You gave me the open goal so i took it.

Yes, there was a time when you were capable of winding me up.

But after a couple of thousand ":rolleyes:"'s, constantly getting into post wars with every poster you can, then losing, those days are gone.

You are like a politician who has suffered a sex scandal, or for a more accurate analogy, lost too many elections. Your rep is dead and no matter how hard you try you can no longer rebuild it.;)

We can ignore you or we can respond as I did above, in both cases its with a smile on our face and in both cases its like scoring an open goal.

If you want to bring back the days when you can wind prominent posters up again, you need a new rep. And the only way to do that is to create what is known as a "sockpuppet".

Fair enough, gotcha. Btw, I like the analogy of football.

I know, especially when I talk about Samu being inconsistent ;) , no worries this year I like Samu much better. :D

So, you say Roman can't make top 10? I think I've seen it somewhere other place in forum. That's a nonsense. And yeah, that thingie with an idiot is only in your head waiting for exorcising.

Don't know why Basso is so highly considered. He seems way off these days. I think his last big crash has really affected him.

the rumours from teide were he looked superhuman in those last days there.7 hours daily,huge amounts of climbing,good preparation no doubt

velochrono summed up well his journey to the giro on the basis of his twitter updates

Transformation aux Canaries, entre sérieux et secret

La saison 2012 d’Ivan Basso commence aux Îles Canaries. Sur le volcan Teide, l’Italien travaille en altitude. Et dans un certain secret. Fini la totale transparence. Cameron Wurf est même prié d’arrêter de livrer des informations sur les sorties d’entraînement. Au début du séjour, les sensations sont trop mauvaises pour être décrites. À la fin, Basso est redevenu une bête de course.

this is of course bad news for everyone.i would so like to see a little bit of the old robobasso in this year's giro

I want to ask you guys a question - do Italians feel some hatred towards Kreuziger because of he left Liquigas (or at all from different reasons)?

Ryo Hazuki san is not italian and he won't want to be one. The answer to your question is no, we don't give a **** that he leaves liquigas, no issue really.

this.
I could add that we don't give a **** about teams' nationalities. Only riders count.
