I will never ever watch LBL again. Everyone was so dire apart from Nibali. Told myself that if Inglinski would win I'd never watch again.
Pozzato sucks!

Gasparotto making it even better. Astana FTW!
Given the history of that team and all the shabby characters there, I don't find it too reassuring to see them get two wins and a podium in the Ardennes...
But Gaspa and Iglinsky are not the new faces right? And this year, some leaders are having year off. Everything is possible,you are right to some point.

Cool.
It was a great move by him, regardless of the lack of chase from the leaders.

That's overreacting. I told myself I wouldn't keep watching the Vuelta last year after Angliru, but I couldn't stand by my word.

Why did the doper win.. Oh no.. What a let down.
I found myself hoping he would crash before he catched Nibali.

I'm usually not the one to spread doping accusations after good performances, but I'm really not a fan of Astana taking two of the Ardennes classics, even getting a double podium in one case 
That being said - from what I saw (mind you, most was seen on a small mobile screen), we got to witness some great racing today. Surprising winner again. Not a fan of reality |

Stop screaming doping after each win of a "lesser" rider. He was just great, over deserved win. If you can crush Rodriguez and catch Nibali you are the stongestin race.

So you don't find it suspicious, that a rider at the age of 31 makes his first impressive win, given the way he does, the riders he beats, and the team he rides for?
Anyway, this isn't the thread to discuss this I guess.

Nope, just a great ride, it can happen
Cycling is very clean these days...
Why not say Voeckler is doping for coming 4th?

Maybe but I'm pretty sure that I won't watch it anymore. It was even worse that the commentators called him the new Vinokourov 
And at the other guy, thanks I always try to be cool just like you 
Pozzato sucks!

You're saying Voeckler has the same results list as Iglinsky?
No way you can compare them. Voeckler has proven himself before.

You might be one of the most retarded humans out there Dizzle. Iglinsky has won Strade Bianchie, finish 4th at Tirreno in 2010. Second place at strade this year. Edged out of top tens in the Ardenes. Was Contadors last mountain helper in 08. So tell me, how hassent he proven himself?

Sean Kelly made a good point on Eurosport as to why it there were few attacks
He says that teams are happier to go for a T20 and get the UCI points than attack and perhaps lose any points...
I didnt think it was too bad, at least there were attacks before the finale
The top guys are close at the moment so its fairly even
