Oh come on Gesink fans. It's just funny how he finds a way to fail every single time. It's unreal |

Forget about timing. When's the last time you've seen anyone like this? Keep on attacking, dying, attacking, dying, attacking... (Except Gaudin in Paris - Roubaix) 
Really love the man here, deserves that KoM jersey 100%!

Than you can dislike almost rider in the peloton. This guy is training like hell, giving all he has got, and is still recovering from an injury that makes most riders retire. Yes, he crashes a lot, but is still one of the best 5% of all professional cyclists when it comes to stages racing. And there is no suspicion above him, as with Scarponi, Santambrogio, Sky, etcetera.
Guys arguiing like you are becoming like football-fans: I'm not a fan of ...., so I dislike him and enjoy in seeing him fail. Screw that.

Evans just a couple of points off Cav for red? Could go down to the wire that one. |

Nibali is a great leader, by the way. He's looking like the king of Italy right now. Even giving Kangert the chance to go for himself, too bad he didn't finish it off, he was the fastest sprinter |

Gesink is overrated, all he can do now is maybe top 8 of GT, he's just weak... rly weak, he never reached top 5 of any GT, so pls.. stop giving him MO like Evans, or Scarponi has. Gesink has one good season-2010, and it wasn't anything amazing- 6th places on TdF and Vuelta. |

Yay, Gesink stat discussion, I love that.Spoiler If not clear, I've had enough of it. 
And don't forget that Gesink got 6th in last years Vuelta, so you can't give him like 76 MO

I don´t give him stats. Other people do. I think 76-77 would be about right nowadays. |

You can get 6th in Vuelta with 76 MO in PCM =P |

In PCM 11 even 3rd with 75 (Barredo in my story/career with the 2011-route). BUt then again, SPrinters with Sp85 can get beaten at full speed by sprinters with Sp75 in my career....
But back to the Giro: really love these stages, as they cause more time gaps and excitement than the mtf's....

you can even win vuelta with a 73-74 gilbert
The problem with gesink is that he is bad on cold weathers and on long climbs he sucks too , so for now on for the love of god just send him to vuelta prepare for it all year and he has a chance for a top 3

Yeah lets give Gesink 78 MO and 79, 80, 81 and 82 to everyone better placed than him at Giro and on Vuelta last Year. Funny that guys with 77 (Uran and Santambrogio) and even guys with 75 are kicking his Ass in the Mountains  |

It's not like Uran wouldn't be highered up if he maintains this result. And there's something called peaks too(for Santa, it's the Giro, he's Italian, makes sense that he peaks)
And we had a deal. I here try to be less biased, you try to shut up about Gesink. Neither of us 100% made that, but for now, I'm closer to my goal
Anyway, other topic:
Tomorrow.
Anyone has the same feeling as me: That its going to be pretty boring.?

Are you trying to say that Gesink is doing rather bad here because he isn't peaking?
