Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[Lexman]

No Rabowin again

 

[Fetisoff]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!! NO RABOBANK AVATAR OR SHOE EATING FOR ME!!!!


and Purito should take 2nd overall I guess

 

[Kwibus]

Crap I knew this would happen.

I like Sanchez, but I'd rather have Mollema win the TT

 

[Bavarianrider]

The best bikehandler wins it! Deserving!

 

[Parrulo]

Saaaaamuuuuuu!!!!!! Awesome!!

 

[Trofinios]

Yyyiiiiiihaaaa! Sammy stage and GC!

 

[Publicus]

Yep, Bauke smoked it.

Sorry, he's The Great Bauke Mollema. The Great One is the Great One--you know his name without mentioning it. Only 3 months 29 days until his return.

Nice ride by Samu!

They are, and this has been a great ITT, because it's really balanced between the climbers and the power guys, and so you have no idea who will win.

It's just that Henao obviously has ITT potential, but he's going to keep losing out in that situation until he sorts that position out because it must lose him so much time.

Maybe Henao and the other climbers should start making the races hard to drop the time-trialers then.

I know I was just joking.

Samuuuuuuu!!!!!

It seems to me that many riders who have suboptimal TT positions simply have their saddles too low (cf. Wiggo). This, in turn, results in a not so flat back, perhaps a suboptimal power delivery too.

Of course putting the saddle up demands very flexible hip muscles. Guess GC hopes should ride some pursuit as youngsters soften the joints up when they still can

Dang, no cooking & eating of Sidi's for Fetisoff then.

I actually agree with you despite my Euskaltel cheerleading.

Samu has already won a stage, and will take the GC, it would have been nice for Mollema to get it given he put in a hell of a ride.

 

[nesocip]

**** yea!

Strongest rider in the race with course catered to him, this was the only outcome.

Go Samu!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Best ITT by Purito for a while!

 

[Havetts]

Purito to finish 6th in a time trial.. Not bad

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Wow, great TT by Jrod!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

JRod did very well me thinks

 

[Frosty]

Sanchez also takes the points i think.

 

[Kwibus]

Very nice by Purito.

Not enough for the GC, but still good.

 

[jsem94]

Purito 6th in a TT, not every day.

 

[Fetisoff]

Purito beats Clement in a time-trial to take 2nd overall.

Vamos Samu and Purito!!

 

[jens_attacks]

well this was a great itt have to say

 

[Publicus]

I know I was just joking.

I understood. Look at Purito putting in a top 10 ride!

 

[Trofinios]

Oh lord, J-Rod 6th on the stage and 2th GC. Who would have thought?
