I hope Philbear doesn't waste too much energy for De Ronde. He got what he came for, confidence. Better take it easy the next two days, maybe drop out if you lose the GC lead. He'll need every grain of reserves for Sagan and GVA, I want those three guys to be in perfect shape + maybe a recovered Vanmarcke. Yummy.

Let's also not forget the almighty Ole Animaux of Joker, who ended up 13th today and aims for top 10 in the GC. First time he shows his huge strength on the top level, apart from breakaways in Nokere-Koerse and last years Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen. Has a great career ahead of him. |

Terpstra is such a nice guy that he said Santambrogio was seeking attention when Santambrogio was considering suicide 
And what he did in Eneco Tour two years ago. The guys basicly a dick. The problem is not that I have a thing against Terpstra, but that Paul is such a Quick Step fanboy. It's not just your political ideas that are onesided, it's your opinion about certain riders/teams as well. So no, this is not about the politics thread, it's about your general forum imput.
I'm not a quickstep fanboy. I just like some riders of their team. And yes, it happens pretty often, that people say: "I'm gonna kill myself!", because they are seeking for attention. I'm not sure if it was the same with Santambrogio, but it can be.
"It's not just your political ideas that are onesided"
>Talking about onesided opinions
>thinks everyone who is not left-wing is a nazi
>mfw
But well, I never said, that Niki isn't cocky sometimes, almost every pro rider is. As is Sagan, but still you go after Terpstra after an unapproved comment and not after Sagan when there is actual footage, talking about "onesided opinions".
https://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewtopi...6#p1355756
Check the posts starting from this point. Santamborgio says addio mondo and a few other things on his twitter which suggests that he is considering suicide.
https://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewtopi...4#p1355924
Then, Terpstra says that Santamborgio firstly goes extreme to win then does this to get attention.
Anyone who defends Terpstra in this case is either a blind fan or a troll.
PS: This topic and arguments between users go from page 19 to page 25
Everyone who is writing "Goodbye World" on twitter is seeking for attention. And I'm not saying this, because TerpDerp is involved, but because it basically is like that. If you really consider suicide, you don't tell anyone.
Terpstra is right.
And no, I'm not a troll, or a massive fanboy. I wouldn't even defend Tony if he would write that on twitter. Santambrogio was crying for help
And Terpstra was doing what? He was kicking Mauro while he was down
What would have happened if Mauro would have been found dead?
The thing is that people who write stuff like that on twitter will mostly not kill themselves. That's not a cry for help, that's a way to get answers like: "Don't do it, we love you."
If he would really considered it, we wouldn't know that right now. Sadly people who just try to get themselves in the spotlight with such behavior get too much attention.
Are you serious with this rubbish you are posting? People have committed suicide after posting similar things on Twitter and Facebook so what makes what Santambrogio was any different? Defending what Terpstra did shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what people going through when suffering from depression and or suicidal thoughts, it really doesn't take much to push someone over the edge. And even if Santambrogio wasn't truly having suicidal thoughts it was still a stupid thing for Terpstra to do. If you are any sort of a person just don't do things like that.

Well said Strydz. There are even numerous cases where people commited suicide "live" on the web, there are people crying for help in front of anonymous audience, it is modern phenom. It does not mean in all cases that they are just seeking attention and dont have deep depression that can lead to suicide. So stop talking rubbish Paul, as you obviously know shit about it.

UCI has fined several riders for riding on the sidewalk (which is prohibited). Normal punishment is DSQ. Jury motivation: ''Too many riders did it. We can't kick them all out right?'' According to the jury, the next time this happens riders will be DSQd. Just like after Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Oh wait
The massive fine does compensate this though. 200CHF per person

Kristoff wins stage 2 of De Panne, which saw echelons. Durbridge loses any chance of GC victory as he was dropped.

Don't think Kittel is to happy with the job Gilbert did at the final km's. Instead of doing a solid leadout with all the Quickstep guys for Kittel, Gilbert went in the break by himself and Kittel ended up isolated. |

Long sprint from Krsitoff and he held on well to hold off Kittel and Theuns as things were stretched in the front group over the last few kms. Gilbert picked up a couple of time bonsues along the way and marked out a late move from Brandle too. Those two looking good for 1 and 2 on GC with Gilbert comfortably clear before the last road stage and then afternoon TT.

Braendle dangerous for GC. Only about 30 secs back and great TT'ist. |

Plus Kittel had Sabbatini with him then Gilbert rode a little at the death too when it came back together. Also Marcel had already had to work earlier for the GC ambitions so was probably a bit ragged by then, like most of the front group no doubt.

Yeah, that's true. That is a danger for Gilbert's overall. |

Gilbert is clear now though. Unless the road stage gets blown apart again the gap is comfortable for the shortish TT, even to the likes of Brandle.

I don't know, 30 seconds is not that much in 14 kms. That said, Gilbert is in some otherworldly form.

I don't actually think that his from is THAT good. He dropped Durbo on the Muur. That's not really THE cobbled rider...

Yeah, because Durbridge is just some average TTist right?
And of course De Panne is the first race this year where Phil Gil actually performs decently!
Putting things into context is overrated tbh

Durbridge was also 4th in E3 Harelbeke and Dwars door Vlaanderen. He was also 6th in Strade Bianche. These results only strength Matt's point.
Oops, didn't see your link where the photo showed his results in E3 and Dwars |

Nah, I don't say, that he's in a bad form, but shouldn't he dispatch guys like Durbridge way quicker, when he has to race against guys like Valverde, Sagan, GVA and more. I don't think that Durbo is up to their level.

It's quite obvious Durbridge's been performing better than he ever has before.

Either that, or other riders aren't performing that well atm.
