Back to topic please!
Everyone like who you want and hate who you want, but keep it (mostly) to yourself.
So was Weylandt fast or was Brown just slow?
I though Brown would take it when he jumped from Weylandts wheel, but he could barely keep up.
Ah well, good win for Weylandt.
Also, is Cunego just losing time so he can attack in the mountains and grab one or two stages? |

Its the Floyd Landus race plan. Wiggins and Evans look like they are trying it out too  |

Considering Brown was recently humiliated by Theo Bos who easily took what..3 bike lengths, it's not suprising Weylandt can beat him  |

Weylandt was faster, and maybe also more motivated. He is one of the 20 Quick Step riders who don't have a contract for next year yet and Lefevere has said publicly that if Weylandt doesn't get good results very quickly, he's out. I'd say that's enough motivation for anyone to sprint faster.  |

How big is the chance the wednesday's TTT will turn into a ITT by Evans for BMC?

Ahh, didn't see the post. I agree this should be a doping free thead. So we can discuss the racing instead. |

Unfortunately Forster was far behind. He was the fastest in the end. Would like to see him winning in a big race again.
Can still see his great win on Giro`s last stage a few years ago. |

Any news on whether Vino was booed again when he went on the podium? Just curious, not reopening the Vino debate.

I think not. There was already a positive atmosphere around Vino in Amsterdam and I didn't hear any boos today. |

But I really think is a pity that after the third stage only around 15 riders or less has the possibility for fighting for the Giro...
An d rider that could had been there like Wiggings already had to limited his options to win a stage.
Yes I know this is cycling and the big gays had to be always in the front but this was really unexpected...
Maybe some of them go home earlier and prepare the TdF |

No, the Netherlands is full of decent people who don't lower themselves to that level, unless football is involved and people go barking mad. |

Could just someone have the kindness to post the classifications and times of Giro favourites at the moment ?
(That's just because after a day work, I always seem to be the laziest person in the world).

Pozzovivo might have said goodbye to a final top 10 GC position. |

Nibali and Basso are looking good for now. I don't think Vino can hold them off in the mountains, so it seems to go between those two, for now...

Evns is just 43 sec behind. Don`t forget him. I think he is much stronger than Basso. And i am not sure about Nibali`s form in the mountains. |
