Tour de Suisse 2012: Stage 3; Martigny → Aarberg (195km)

[Bavarianrider]

BREAKING NEWS: BMC rider George Hincapie has announced his retirement.

Better late than never. Good news for cycling.

 

[BillytheKid]

Yeah blame it on the messanger. Not on the ones who displayed a disgraceful piece of unsportsmanship

Movistar was on the front. I think that was just more instinct than an effort to take advantage of it. Maybe in they old days it would be considered fair game.

DQ coming.

 

[Bavarianrider]

DQ coming.

The more omerta guys of the old days go away, the better it is for cycling. Not agreeing with this?

 

[shalgo]

Maybe it is just a language issue, but you are missing the points of the complaints. Nobody is complaining that you accused Movistar of poor sportsmanship; it is that you worded your complaint in a way that transferred that accusation to all spaniards.

The lights was red and there was a commisaire waving at them to stop.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Is any one in the break in virtual leader's jersey?

Well then i guess it's reall a language issue.
I was refering to this particular spanish team, not all spaniards, obviously.

 

[tomorrow]

well, according to my computations, the peloton must make one minute each 5km on the escapes, so far it looks like they are sticking to this plan, we'll see what the two ascent will make with this

Take it to the clinic.

 

[Magnus]

Is any one in the break in virtual leader's jersey?

Nope. Bonnafond is at 9 min. or something like that.

So you will also want Klöden to retire ASAP?

 

[lejarreta]

The messenger should attend Logic 101.
Movistar team shows unsportmanship (you may agree or not).
Movistar is a Spanish team.
Spaniards show unsportmanship.

Flaws:
1.- Movistar is a Spanish team with non-spaniards in it.
2.- Not all spaniards ride in Movistar.

I think they were complaining that they needed a dodgy chalkboard. The thrust of their objections was that the chalkboard was too accurate.




This is a joke.

 

[Bavarianrider]

So you will also want Klöden to retire ASAP?

I am not wanting anything, nor am i demanding anybody to do anthying. However, once a rider makes the decision to retire, i am free to comment about it and say how i feel abou it. Or am i not?

 

[Magnus]

Gap dropping at 1 second per second?

 

[brilleaben]

The break will be caught!

 

[brilleaben]

And we will presumably see a Schleck in leaders jersey tomorrow?

 

[glassmoon]

thats the TEMPO!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I'm coming to really hate the sight of Liquigas and/or Sky riding on the front.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

This is a real opportunity for Saxo and Ag2r. Both of those teams really need a big win.

 

[Pippo_San]

Bonnafond and Morkov now going into the last 26kms all alone

 

[wirral]

The Tour of California is not World Tour, monsieur.

 

[shalgo]

I'm coming to really hate the sight of Liquigas and/or Sky riding on the front.

Why is Sky at the front? Is it just that they can't break the habit?

 

[gthx_gthx_]

The peloton seems fast now. Too bad , AG2R and Saxo need a victory.
