It's hard for you dutch to get that while eating nothing but cheese on toast![]()
Dekker_Tifosi said:I rarely eat toast and Im dutch.
Than again, I rarely eat normal dutch food too
How did this end up in a food discussion anyway?
Dekker_Tifosi said:Back to the race..is it friday yet?

Spanish food is good, the crap riders get at most hotels isn't.

CadelOfficialNice to some see it like it is: RT @erwindewit: @CadelOfficial i am in shame to be a Dutch today :-( What was Geesink thinking7 minutes ago from TwitterFon
A reply to a Dutch guy can't even spell Gesink right.
Is this why Cadel never won (will win) a GT?
What a whiny little man. Get over it and move on with the race.

Taaramae suffered like a dog, only to lose it all in the last 500m-1k when Cesar overtook him. Smart move, because he was gone and claimed victory. Taaramae had an SRM display, but did he not notice he was riding in the 'self-destruct' zone? Cesar really paced that climb perfectly...
Evans matched every acceleration from Valverde. Basso looked cool and confident, as if he is waiting to put on the squeeze later in the Vuelta.
Gesink appeared to do a 15k/h Fuglsang with some others when they wiggled their way through the line of cars alongside the road. That seemed to explain why he first lost Evans, Basso, Valverde and Danielson. He then managed to get back, but the following Valverde accelerations hurt him (a little). Good to see he came back on the descent, not to repeat a PN.
In the ensuing sprint - as far as I could tell - Evans got boxed in, mainly because some fences were placed further inside the road. I didn't see any pushing or deviating from a straight line from Gesink's part at that time.
In the feed I saw Evans had some words with Breukink?
Much ado about nothing...
PS> Hoogerland arrives @ 2:17 and Carrara @ 1:39
from Cadel's website. If you had lost 2 GT by less than a minute you too would be frustrated at letting any time slip away. It shows he is taking this race very seriously and any of you would have said the same thing if it had happened to you. Get off his back, as far as the attacking when he was in the cars... he started increasing the pace way before that, just after Rodríguez took off he looked behind and saw a few of the GC riders suffering so he increased the pace. At the cars, riders were 4 wide trying to fit thru a gap 2 wide, that's what created the gap not any sudden acceleration.In the final, a 'racing incident' with another rider in the last 200m stopped me trying to defend the leaders jersey. Very frustrating on my part. I did let my competitor know about it, probably with a bit too much of my racing spirit and frustration. No hard feelings towards my colleague there, apologies will be in order.

Basso looked like he was at ease today, never got out of the saddle.
Evans was pretty aggresive today, kudos to him.

Timmy-loves-Rabo said:lol your denying evans has a b!tch at every chance possible? This has nothing do with anyone except evans, and his inability to accept a loss. Evans needs to man up.
I acknowedge Gesink was a little over the place, but there as no intention their. Evans had no chance against valverde, but as we've seen many times prior to the vuelta, Evans likes to find excuses for his failure.
Anyway as I said earlier, losing the lead will benefit him.
Yup. It's really irrelevant, Valv. was never gonna lose that sprint.
