Can only underline this. Ppl like Kirchen sometimes needs to calm their tits. If I am not mistaken, Kirchen, you were also the one cursing at the organization when they decided to neutralize the stage. Remember what happened?

anybody seen Kiserlovski and/or Kelderman?
Belkin were helping OPQS set the pace a little while ago, so I'm guessing Kelderman is with Uran.

Well if Quintana and the rest of that group is now exploiting this missunderstanding theyre no better than Evans.
Get a life. If it was your favorite rider Uran or Evans, whoever gaining, you are okay with it. Now you are whining. Stop complaining. This is cycling, deal with it. There are worst way people have won a Grand tour, than just on misunderstanding. |

Because the stage in Bari was nowhere near as dangerous as this is right? It was basically dry in Bari. Here you got snow rain, freezing temperatures on a high speed descent and it's not neutralised. |

I don't agree with neutralisation but the riders should come to a mutual decision like on stage 4 into Bari to not attack each other on the descent. If that can't be met then you just have to get on with it and make the gap back in the valley. But like in any sport safety comes first, winning comes second!
I disagree on that. Quintana needs to gain time, so he went for it, he is risking himself because he wants to, his desire to win is bigger than everything else. The other riders don't have to follow him, it's their choice. That's what separates the heroes from the other guys. |

No it wasn't dry, you had wet oily roads, which also makes grip non existent. Which is why we seen some horrendous crashes.

Why must something have happened?
It was a mess on the Stelvio summit and once they went down maybe Rolland (who has been attacking alot) and Quintana just decided to take the risks that the other main contenders didn't have the bottle to do. It is pretty straight forward

Gap down to 1'45", but can't see Quintana getting caught. Must have been one hell of a descent if there was no misunderstanding. |

Anyways we wont know what happened for sure until the riders get to the top and we hear it from them.
But if Quintana used the confusing to get this lead, he is a unworthy winner and he will make some enemies among the other riders and teams.
And its a lie again that it wasn't said on radio tour, the tv commentators all heard it loud and clear. |

You dont seem to get my point. My point is you should try to keep a little more calm. In Bari you were like "oh, what a scandal, fck this race" up until half the peloton crashed. Then you were like "right decision". Now, you are just jumping to conclusions without even knowing what was going on on the descent. As the tweet above states, the neutralization was NOT called on the radio. So please. |
