Tirreno - Adriatico 2016 09/03/16 - 15/03/16 2.UWT

[Vino attacks everyone]

Asked about Brammeier's (who???) tweet, Nibali simply answered: "I just left it to my lawyer".

Brammeier's tweet is still there. I guess he doesn't have a lawyer.

Mere insults and name-calling are not punishable by law. What's Nibali's lawyer gonna do, huh?

Which law? Italian law? Irish law? Do you know the laws in those countries?

I am sure the concept of free speech is pretty similar in both Ireland and Italy

Do we know the start times for tomorrow?

Asked about Brammeier's (who???)

A mere World Tour cyclist, five times national champion and owner of one of the more admirable comeback stories in the sport. Nothing to compare with the accomplishments within cycling of those of us who bicker on message boards of course.

Ain't Nibali Sicilian!? Maybe Brammeier's gonna found dead in a river!

To be honest Brammeier made a stupid comment only. I ain't gonna agree with him at all as it was pure nonsense from my pov. But that's it.

What I'm actually shocked about is Tony Martin! What a major goof he is!? Totally classless. I actually never liked him although I'm German (Okay in cycling I'm more Dutch/ Italian anyway). He just always strikes me as the typical German cyclist that ain't got no clue about the real essence and passion of this lovely sport. Apparently he proved me right. Medals ain't gonna transform a jellyfish into a campione. He should just shut up. To succor Brammeier is simply laughable for a guy of his calibre!

 

[Breh]

Great stage! Funny some called Greg not a winner just a couple weeks ago. Now he has two great wins already this season. I'm happy for him but today I must admit I was rooting for Sagan. I really want him to take the overall tomorrow. I lol'd when A. De Stefano on RAI asked him after the stage if today he was doing some training for Milano-Sanremo. Sagan was like WTF are you talking about, what training. I'm trying to win Tirreno-Adriatico

People have been calling GvA a loser for years and rightfully so. He simply hasn't been a winner.

No clue about the essence of this sport? Martin???

Why don't you show yourself out

 

[staubsauger]

Ouch!

But actually that makes his succor even more ridiculous ain't it!?

Re:

Yes!

Safety first!

 

[del1962]

Tony Martin is an incredibly unselfish cyclist working for his team day in day out

Insult was actually a misdemeanor until not long ago in Italy. Now it is not, but you can sure be fined for it.

They probably changed it when they realised they'd end up with 95% of the population behind bars.

 

[Jakub]

ouch, what happened to him?

 

[GP Blanco]

ouch, what happened to him?

He used sand paper on his saddle to improve his position. So he shaved his scrotum during the time trial.

OMG, did he win at least?

We all lost.

Yes, the pic should be from the 2014 Pais Vasco ITT that he won 7 seconds ahead of Contador.
He did the same thing at the Richmond WC ITT, if you do something like that to win an ITT you shouldn't talk about safety, how is something like that even allowed?
About the typical German cyclist talk, you have to admit that German cycling culture in general is rather narrow minded, only the TdF counts, and heavily focussed on Sprinters and TT specialists, the whole developmental system is geared towards producing those kind of riders,only very few races for young German climbers take place on German soil.

Maybe Brammeier woke up with the handlebars of his bicycle in his bed this morning?

One thing for sure, now he's got a big accomplishment on message boards too
We can call him a complete rider.

Those tactical decisions by Etixx yesterday were probably the worst I've seen since Sky's 2010 Tour of Britain stage 2 ride. Amazing.

Re:

Which says nothing about his charakter because he just insulted nibali the worst possible way.

what actually did he say?
not that it matters, because for me it's absolutely ok to insult Nibali.

 

[carolina]

he praised Brammeier for his courage to say what no one else could about nibali.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Predictions for today?
Lampaert currently has the best time: 11'33 (10 seconds off Cancellara's time last year), while Phinney is second, beaten on hundredths.
