Malori was pretty quiet last year but may be getting reults in the chronos this time. Not bad for Rodriguez: most of the other names around him are strong time triallists.

Good point, I was forgetting.

theyoungest said:Boom dropped his chain, according to Rabosport. Lost about 20 seconds because of it. He could have been somewhere around Cancellara's time. His form for the classics certainly seems to be good.
Ryaguas said:Dude but Gesink destroyed the field! seriously... that was crazy!!
He deserves my admiration! that was a heck of a ride!
Gesink mentioned he was 2 seconds faster than EBH at the turn, so it already surprised me that EBH lost so much time on the way back.Frosty said:Apparently EBH was level on time with Gesin at the turn (are these timings available?) but a helicopter swooped down low over him and messed things up. Says it wouldnt have affected the overall though.

Francois the Postman said:You know ACF, having followed your posts for a while, and the way you talk about BMC and Evans and Australians these day, and now the way you swallowed this bet:
ACF mocking was a good sport for for a while for some, but it's you who have taken the high road here, and become a very good sport instead. Kudos!
And it's nice to see others acknowledging that too.
The Hitch said:Does anyone have the post where ACF says he will use Gesink as his avatar.
Francois the Postman said:He has started a thread where you can post a suggestion for the avatar that the will use. You've got a couple of hours left, I think, to come up with a corker.

auscyclefan94 said:Okay, I've gone back to hagen winning the overall. If Gesink holds on and wins the overall in the tour of oman, I will have a pic of Gesink as my avatar till May. Deal everyone?
tbh, Gesink hinted in his interview that he really came to win the Green mountain stage. Anything in the gc is just a bonus. early days in season 2011
