Even no celebration at all is better than El Pistolero's thing IMO. It's just totally ridiculous and pathetic.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

Funny that you call him by that name as thats how he got the name from the celebration. I hate it too.

Just watched final climb..Evans was great today. He was not weak year ago..but started to early..
Today he waited when Anton but all out..then he keep head cool when Contador made he's move.
How Rodriguez was strongest today? He just followed Evans |

This is what Wiggins said to Cylingnews
"It was mad. I nearly got killed at the end there when that Euskaltel rider crashed into the middle of the road," Wiggins told Cyclingnews at the finish in Huy. "I was sort of at the front and his bike came my way and I just thought I was going to go. I slammed on the brakes and I was at the back then, and that was it."
I guess this was the same interview Isso was on about as it goes on to him saying he's getting for the Giro and his preparation for it is going well...
I can see where isso is coming from... but i haven't 'heard' the whole interview so can't really comment on how he came across

It was on TV, in Portugal, so that makes it Portugese TV 
Isso is usually going on about the Portugese Eurosport commentators, so I imagine you get the Portugese variant of Eurosport?
British Eurosport meanwhile, did not include a Wiggins interview - either in its Fleche highlights, or its news program.

No Wiggo interview in Belgium either. Just Evans in terrible - but real funny - French.
Does anyone know if Velasco's ok? Kroon's crash was bad enough for one day (and Roels' too, but I'm not sure how he is doing). |

Sporza has the final ascent of the Mur up (go to cyclingfans.com for a link).
Anyway, watching the end you can clearly see with about 100 meters to go that Contador was completely dead, when he kept looking over his shoulder to see how close Cadel was getting. To me it just seems that Cadel won because he was classic Cadel. He didn't really attack, he just followed wheels as everyone rode themselves out except J-Rod, and he didn't have time to catch up at the end. |

nice race and brave attack by Kreuziger and then he was able to start the Huy behind Contador and from the half of it faded and faded
But i am still pretty sure he is going to win some classic in few years
Go Roman!

Kreuziger let go at the start of the climb and finished at 2 minutes (because he was in the attack, yes ) |

I was thinking the same ... until I thought about his condition. He was probably way too tired to even think of celebrating. |

He maybe was tired, but that's his style of celebrating victories (see Coppi Bartali 2008, 2009, Mont-Ventoux in PN 2008, Mendrisio, etc.). And about wiggins, lets be serious: this year he wont dare to score another top five in a major tour, if you know what I mean. He's coming from the velodrome for Goodness' sake.

I don't quite follow that last statement:

Maybe Evans can't ride without his hands on the handblebar  |

He's saying that track riders can't become top-5 riders in the Tour. |

Everybody understands what he wants, I don't want to create no more flame. And yes , Cadel can't ride the bike without hands..What's the problem in that? |

Well, he's clearly wrong. Wiggins managed it last year
I was going to list all the riders I know of that have come from a track background to do rather ok at the road, but then I realised that was about 90% of all young Brits, and 90% of all youngish Aussies, plus a smattering nowadays of Danes, Russians, Italians, and generally the entire cycling community.
