Re: Re:
Quintana was 46 seconds behind the leader of the race. Also, it was not a solo attack. He soon joined a plethora of teammates working for him and other riders, some of whom even pulled at some point.
The amount of kms they rode solo was comparable. Martin won the stage and ultimately the overall. Quintana didn't.
There are countless other examples that show how Martin is an attacking and entertaining rider.
Just admit that you were exaggerating and took a dig at the wrong rider.
Dan Martin was 30 seconds behind the leader of the race when he entered the break almost 180 km from the finish of that stage.DFA123 said:lol, not even close. Sneaking into a break because low on GC and riding on solo for 10km < entertaining than solo attack out of the peloton when 2nd in GC and 50km out.SafeBet said:I think you might wanna re-watch the 2013 edition of this very race.DFA123 said:HelloDolly said:There is something amiss with Quintana ...he stopped on several occasions on the climb and pulled out and let Yates ,MAL and Martin back in
I mean I know that if you let Yates back in he wins the stage ....why does Quintana not know that ...and dont give me he was knackered ...he followed every attack. Doesnt he know that he has to attack on steepest part of climb to have any chance ?
It seems to me he is afraid of losing ...so he rides not to lose...except he loses in the end
Bernal may have beat him to the line but may not....we and he will never know
If fans are waiting for Quintana to provide entertaining cycling they will have a long wait ....now Yates (both), Dan Martin and Thomas de Gendt ...not Colomban climbing sensations but they know how to ride and race and entertain
Quintana did a far more entertaining ride two weeks ago than Dan Martin has done in his whole career.
