Re: Re:

I genuinely dont remember seeing Meinjtes since the descent in Andorra on stage 3

Watch yesterday's stage again. Every time you saw a picture of the end of the peloton in the valley before the final climb you could see meintjes in the last position. And I'm not joking

If you're looking for Meintjes, 90% of the time you just have to look at the last rider in the GC group.

And the other 10% of the time the camera isn't zoomed out enough

But what does the guy think? He really states the opinion he's riding well for a GT-leader of a WT-squad? I mean, the guy hasn't done anything besides following the whole damn race!

I honestly can't recall a more unattractive rider during my time as a cycling fan.

less ugly than CF
IMHO

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Ivan Garcia has it in the bag imo

 

[Rollthedice]

Cortina like a machine.

The thing is, the sponsors can hardly be happy about that. I mean, they get less screen time from Meintjes than from his teammates trying to protect his top 10 place. Can the WT points he gets for his results justify his riding style?

Garcia <3

It would be absolutely incredible for Cortina and for Spanish cycling if he is able to win this stage.

No stage wins in our local Tour, this continuous sense of decay for so many years and here comes this 22 yo youngster against everybody..waah!!

 

[Laplaz]

Garcia was born in Gijon :surprised: would be a nice thing if he wins this...

F*ck Mamykin, this looks bad

 

[LaFlorecita]

*** that looks bad for Mamykin..

 

[TommyGun]

Mamykin dislocated hip ? Looks really bad

 

[portugal11]

Guarda civil is mad

 

[TMP402]

Bardet breaking hearts here.

 

[KyoGrey]

He is fighting against very elite talent.

A bit more than a km left to the top. C'mon Garcia

 

[TMP402]

If Garcia can stay with Bardet he will win the sprint - all things being equal.

 

[RedheadDane]

That did not look good for Mamykin.

Yet a terrible part of me still prefers to hear a rider screaming in pain, rather than the alternative...

Re:

Yeah, they are no nonsense.

It wasn't the Guardia Civil but the local police of Madrid, but I always laugh when English football fans come to Madrid and find that in other countries the police forces actually beat people that behave like morons :lol:

 

[Squire]

If he's not completely spent, Garcia will smoke the sprint against anybody who can make it up to him and Bardet.

In portugal we do the same

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Really hope Ivan GC can win this race

 

[Rollthedice]

Moscon time.

Man, in Portugal you have to fix the whole toll paying thing in the motorways.

I always find myself not paying without noticing and fearing the local police for the rest of my holidays.
