Tour of California, Stage 8: Santa Clarita - Thousand Oaks, 132.4 km

[roundabout]

+1 about Ligget

Tour wise (stage race this is his biggest in the US). He has won the Tour of Georgia and a few classics but really he doesn't have any huge wins but I don't think you can really categorize a Pro Continental race big.

Horner won Pais Vasco last year. That's a big win.

Not sure if you knew that or not

Yeah I completely forgot about Last years Tour of the Basque. UCI World Pro Tour win. Good call.

 

[YoRUsh]

Good to see the Americans still honor LA by writing PED XING on the road

Oooooeerrrr, another crit.
What times' 60 minutes on?

Smithy: What have BMC done in this race? Nothing.
Well, having said that, this weeks big losers are.................Saxo.

Yeah, right.

*BMC basher alert* - Morabito's 5th yesterday beating some formidable copmetition was impressive. I do agree they don't have a big leader here so look a little lost but it hasn't beeen that bad.

Interesting, they just found out that it's very unlikely that this Djan'Gh'Lii guy is getting robbed, shot or raped while riding his bike.

To be fair, Hitch was quoting the commentator.

And let's be fair, Morabito has compiled some pretty decent results but he's a guy who usually flies under the radar. Manages to get some decent results without ever threatening to win much, and as such he is all too often forgotten about in instances like this.

No no, just reporting wot a pro cyclist said and the point was have Saxo had a bad week?
Depends upon what you have been watching, I suppose.
Talking of which. were you AWOL for today's Giro stage of the......well race, cos it's the Giro?

To be fair, Hitch was quoting the commentator.

Hitch? Moi..........pleeeeeeze. (and I was quoting verbatim)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Blabla ACF morabito. He was still beaten by Laurens ten ****ing Dam, who at best manages a top 25 in a GT... so ****ing stop hyping Morabito.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hitch? Moi..........pleeeeeeze. (and I was quoting verbatim)

Oops. I'm getting my chief ACF-antagonizers mixed up!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I've got to say... last year's Thousand Oaks stage was much, much better.

This is the only stage that has been outshone by last year's equivalent. And yes, it's very difficult to feel really drawn in after today's Giro exploits.

 

[GoAndyGo]

The breaks almost toast.

his post didn't look like hyping to me, or at least not ott hyping worthy of curse words

"...and he's riding in front of the rider behind him."

 

[roundabout]

Gah. This sort of commentary makes me want to go all Dekker_Tifosi on them.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

"...and he's riding in front of the rider behind him."

Oh come on, that at least isn't wrong.

Interesting, they just found out that it's very unlikely that this Djan'Gh'Lii guy is getting robbed, shot or raped while riding his bike.

Bwahaha. I want Djan'Gh'Lii to win. This is priceless.

 

[The Hitch]

"...and he's riding in front of the rider behind him."

Is that Ligget or Kirby.

Cos Ligget just said

"Martin Changli" Reffering to the Chinese rider riding for Rabo

 

[roundabout]

yes, let's not forget Tommy Danielson.

Seriously! Thats not Chinise, that's more a fiminine Klingon name.

 

[screaming fist]

wow, I didn't know Ralf Grabsch was back racing.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh look, now we know where all the Giro sprint stages ended up.

 

[The Hitch]

Nooes. Haedo fails bad again

 

[killswitch]

Sagan boxed in.

 

[roundabout]

How come Goss is Matty while Sagan isn't Petey?

 

[goggalor]

Long, long sprint by Goss. Sagan didn't get boxed in, he just didn't have the speed.
