This Giro has been one hell of a roller coaster. But the adrenaline kick wasn't that great, and now I'm just left really nauseous...

Didn't watch today but the Froomster is a menace and the sport will be better once he's gone. He wont be missed a single bit-

It was boredom ever since Froome rode Sestriere and gaining time doing so.

Three top GC riders completely cracked. Watch doper Froome now get the Tour win after an unbelievable hard Giro.
I genuinely can't stand this fucktard.

Just worked out how close Ciccione came to the mountain jersey. Just one more 1st place today on either the 2nd or (bigger ask) final climb, to go with the first climb, would've seen him snatch it. Shame, it would've been a fitting reward for all the attacks that came to nothing. Story of the Giro.
Also, why did Froome sprint? Possibly for the last few mountain points, not being sure of the current situation. Like points at the Vuelta last year, greedy (man) boy  
Yes, it's absolutely his right to race for anything and everything and I'm speculating a little anyway...but sooner or later he might regret not leaving some scraps and the good will it would otherwise engender (appreciate it made zero difference today, Ciccione just fell short).

Our only hope is Bernal not giving a fuck about team orders.

Saw the highlights of stage 19...that sinking feeling of realizing that its probably too good to be true.
On the other hand, does this mean Froome isn't going to race the TdF?
I absolutely loved Bennet's response...he encapsulated what all of us were thinking. |

Twitter went wild over the video clip, but Bennett was keen to put the record straight before the start of stage 20 and explained exactly what he meant when he spoke about Froome.
“If we can’t compare a cyclist to another cyclist, we can’t make a comparison to any cyclist in the last 20 years,” Bennett argued just before the stage start.
“I didn’t say that Froomey went out and railed a load of gear and came back and won the stage. I’m just saying he made a bigger comeback than Easter Sunday. There’s no innuendo. I’m not [implying] anything. But if we can’t make comparisons in cycling, if we can’t compare it to Pantani, we can’t compare it to Merckx then, because we don’t know what was going on there.
“It’s nothing to do with drugs or anything like that. But it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. People on Twitter want it to mean what they want it to mean. They think I’m in there batting for them, but I’m just raising a point.”
George is such a savage. I absolutely love him now. Bigger comeback than Easter Sunday hahahahahahaha  |

He has a brutally beautiful way with words. He knows, I know, we know, they know.

I genuinely can't stand this fucktard. It was so weird. It reminded me of Evans' and Frigo's spectacular crackings on the stage to Passo Coe in '02 Giro and Landis's epic ride to Morzine in '06 Tour. Chaves blowing up after the first rest day, Yates blowing up on final week. Then Pozzovivo cracks on Finestre while Froome just does a Landis. Then Pinot gets ill and blows up on the final MT stage. Everyone seems dead on the final MTF except Froome who is fresh as a daisy.
Very sad for Pinot though, he deserved that podium much more than Lopez

At least he took Amaro Antunes with him

Quintana, Porte, Nibali et al must kick Froome’s ass at the Tour. Well it is what I am hoping for at least.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Congrats to Pozzovivo on his Giro win. Epic attack on the final day. 
Froome thinks and acts like he is the patron of the peloton but the riders don't even take him seriously
