If they race hard on Ezaro Meersman will not have the power to win.Some random guy(like Roche or Horner not an Aramendia or so) to win and Valverde to finish again 2nd or 3rd,Purito after him.

It actually has. If he was 5/10 years younger half the people who say he's bad news wouldn't. But of course, he's got the character.

OK, but i'm just saying what people say. I truly believe Horner isn't doped, because if he was, i think it would be discovered long ago.
You can't possibly be serious 
Tomorrow has the potential to be very tough if they race hard on Ézaro, but given how the last two finishes have played out, that seems unlikely.
Meersman or Gerrans for me.

I bet he would make a hell of a race. If the UCI awarded wins for the Tour ater Armstrong's DQ, Azevedo could win 2. That would be big for PORTUGAL!!! 
So they should take Armstrong's wins and give them to Azevedo, who rode for Armstrong's team?

Horner is doped, read the USADA report, specifically Leipheimer's testimony.
He's 'rider number 15'

Not only to you. Having from testemunies only besides Armstrong, 4 riders IIRC convicted (Danielson, Hincapie, Lepheimer and Barry) still haunts my nightmares. |

Yes, but he wasn't caught on any doping scheme, i think. |

Hi guys, sorry. But I don't know why people are outraged with Horner winning ? Sorry I could not watch today's stage.
Because a lot of people like vilifying people, who they have never met/ are successful and only go on second hand opinions, as a subconscious means of covering the failures they possess as a human.
Also some people on this site are under 18/no know better and naively think its OK to call Horner a 'bad person' e.g. having never met the guy even though he acts cordially on and off the bike, yet don't realise that by judging someone they are in actual fact the 'bad/worse person' for doing so.
These people aren't even cycling fans/like cycling they seem to have some obsessive fascination with doping. So they should be on medical blog sites rather than PCM daily, as they only create a negative atmosphere. 
It is great to see three different red jersey wearers already, anyone predict that, will that change tomorrow?  |

The jersey won't change tomorrow unless Horner crashes. |

I believe that the Mirador de Ezaro will shuffle the GC a bit but I think Horner will keep it, unless someone attacks at Ezaro. |

I think the Ezaro is too far from the line to actually cause something in the GC. I think it will be a bunch sprint, which Meersman could win very well. I also exspect something of Bole, frankly enough

I´m quite surprised by Basso so far. Okay, no "real" action in terms of GC up to now, but you can see him at the front when the road starts to rise. And, on the other hand, I must say I didn´t expect much from him, I actually thought he would get dropped on Sunday already. |

Yes, it's a bit far away, but it should cause some trouble. If someone loses the bunch on the way up, it's very likely to not come back due to the wind. |

Just came home from school....watched the stage and was like 
baseballlover312, 06-03-14 : "Nuke Moscow...Don't worry Russia, we've got plenty of love to go around your cities"
Sarah Palin, 08-03-14 (CPAC, on Russian aggression) : "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke"
Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar! |
