This argument is hilarious. So why do they dope for 100m sprint? Because the track is so difficult?
I'm generally pleased with the entertainment value of today. With tomorrow's stage and the MTT coming up, it was never going to be GC fireworks. We had a leader's jersey switch (although I would have liked Jungels to hang on), a great solo win, fight for the mountain's jersey, a gutsy ride from the new Maglia Rosa, and the biggest sprinting upset in the history of cycling.

Even the Tour always has at least 2 decisive groups of mountain stages. Why would you place the first mountain stage on stage 19?
what do you think tomorrow is 
Another flat finish after some minor mountains?

At least with Amador someone nice got pink.
But seriously tomorrow's stage is easy? I don't expect too much either, but this doesn't automatically means that this is an easy stage then. |

Meh I do that standing on my head. 
Just a flat finish after some bumps. In fact, this whole Giro is a sham. In fact, this entire sport is a sham. All they have to do is sit on bikes and they need doping for that? LOL. I climb mont blanc with hands tied on my back on a unicycle.
Vote Trump.
Just saying. |

To me the mountain stages these days seem to be quite boring, if there is no Contador, then all favourites are just wheelsucking start-finish. Viva the hills! |

Funny how you, the moderator, can't let it go. You are really doing your best to piss me off which is fine if you weren't a moderator. You have instigated the discussion a few times, later, you'll jump in as the moderator to stop the discussion like Avin described in his critique at how you are behaving/moderating
You probably know I don't have the slightest respect for you, but I can't really let this one go. You are really acting like a douche despite 'joking'.
I stand 100% with what I wrote here before and I know many, many people who feel the same way. Unfortunately, the general consensus on this forum is completely different which I have been taking a little heat from. No worries, but can I ask you, especially as a moderator, to let it go? |

Admins I think there is a problem with daily, I click on Giro discussion but instead I seem to end up on the petty argument thread. Is it only me? |

Nice to see Dombrowski out there today. It seems he's progressing again.

There is a recurring bug with the Giro threads.

Yup.
It's close to but still different from the Tour bug where you always land in some strange fanboy-thread.
Mostly about Danish riders, oddly enough. |

I agree with Riis on this one, he's got a lot of abuse for his opinions(some rightly so) and he's got several moral speeches about moving on and then you as a moderator proceeds to provoke him by bringing it up again? That's a bit low. |

I thought the Tour threads devolved into Dope discussions... or at least they used to before some genius made the Sky Doping/Hate Thread.
