Planned disaster in 3). Can't win a GC against real gc riders , that aren't injured so gives up ...takes a rest to do gimmick stage rides...like the one. There is a low bar setting for heroes these days1) Any successful person catches some because of fan insecurities, jealousies, etc.
2) Remco is sometimes, as Mathieu van der Poel says, "borderline arrogant" in interviews.
3) He'll gain a lot of fans with his comeback after disaster in this bike race.

I feel exactly the same.I don't like Costa, but can't blame him for winning like this if others keep going along with it.
Sepp killed that entire bottle of coke in about 3 seconds.
To be more specific, Alejandro Valverde.To be fair, that was Spanish idiocy.
Surely you are referring to the remco disaster then transformation to strongest guy in the race ? ...against all but the real gc riders ?You just have to admire the absolute shamelessness of it all, brilliant
The blood of the innocents.In the meantime Kuss downing a bottle of something like beetroot juice, Horner's favorite.
Really enjoyable stage imoWhat are people complaining about, that was pretty awesome
I mean, at this point I can do nothing but respect it. It's frustrating as hell, but his balls must weigh at least a ton, and somehow, someway every rider is still falling for it.All is fair in love, war and bike racing.
No I'm talking about Rui Costa, the stage winnerSurely you are referring to the remco disaster then transformation to strongest guy in the race ? ...against all but the real gc riders ?
I feel exactly the same if you substitute remco for CostaI feel exactly the same.
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature.Costa is a killer
I think they were playing cat and mouse, not waiting.Letting Kamna come back. Much respect.
