Riding the Lombardia in September isn't the same thing, for me... 
It still looks rainy and cold 
Wish the leaves had changed colour a bit more I guess though, which must be what you mean.
Actually I was used to this race being the unofficial season ending, hence my post.
It still is, there's nothing that matters afterwards

It is funny how far off the map Paris-Tours has fallen. No one cares about a sprinter's classic anymore, and for good reason. |

right his name is Da Costa ....why is he called Rui Costa by many ? For me the name Rui Costa always remembers me of the football player Rui Costa. |

Rui Alberto Faria Da Costa is his full name. Hence Rui Costa would be the Anglicised shortening of it. I don't know if that is the Portugese convention though.

For the same reason nobody says Mark Simon Cavendish or Cadel Lee Evans

Race organizations tend to use Fredrik Carl Wilhelm Kessiakoff though.

God knows why, to be honest
It's like saying Kasper Klostergaard Larsen

Why wouldn't they? It's a bitch-ass name. He's named after the fucking Kaiser.
EDIT: There's 20km left and we're talking about names. Says everything that needs to be said about the race...

I come in, turn on the live text commentary and Gilbert has abandoned? 
Contador v Purito then, I'd think. |

Uran also looks really good. Nibali as well, before he crashed. |

yeah i understand those answers
-
what i meant was like the name > Marco van Basten
we don't say "Marco Basten" .. we say "Marco" or "Van Basten"
I thought "Da" in "Da Costa" was the same -extra- as "Van" in "Van Basten"

Dan Martin or Hesjedal looked alright too, I dont know who the leader is though.

Martin got dropped on Muro di Sormano and Ghisallo, but made it back.
Hesjedal looks good though, so I'd expect them to ride for him.

It is, but we don't say it simply because:
A. We feel there's no point
B. unlike the "van", it's not considered part of the last name, it's sort of a connection bridge
