Grapes don't grow in Belgium.
I can recall every rider but Mollema in the top 10 attacking.
Plus he wheelsucked Fuglsang today without any other intrest but defending his place. He looked like he could do much better |

Mollema had just been sick the days before.. He'd only risk blowing himself up.
Besides, where do you invision Mollema attacking? Half of the time he was hanging on for dear life on Sky's pace.. You can't attack if you are already on the limit.
Hell I remember tours where Vandenbroeck didn't attack once and finished 4th (the first time in 2010). I didn't complain about that because hell, there was no way to attack.
Mollema in his first and second Tour has attacked, but then he was no GC factor. He's not a natural wheelsucker and attacks when he can. But when you are on the limit, you cannot attack.
So your criticism is quite frankly lame |

Maybe he looked like it, but he has been sick the day before the second ITT, and he's completely empty and just today started to recover a bit. And he couldn't attack vs dopers like Porte Quintana and Froome, he was happy he could hang on. Just like Birdsong and his friends. |

Indeed, he's a natural attacker, this also showed in the Crans-Montana stage this year's tour du Suisse. |

Yeah you two are right. Mollema can wheelsuck but Evans can't. And Mollema can do everything he wants because he says he is clean
Edit: And Mollema fans calling Valverde a wheelsucker is even worse

Well. Mollema did his best. If hanging on is the best he can do, why would he attack, that's suicide 
When he gets dropped, he picks up the speed very often, though |

Calling somebody on an internet-forum the dumbest person you have ever seen...

Doubt you'll be able to complete that test, seeing the way you are talking and crying.
Oh, editing comments? Sure we can all do that. Yeah because you are talking the biggest shit i've ever seen on this site. Quite an accomplishment I must say .

Nothing wrong with wheelsucking. It's generally a sound tactic, beats blowing any day. |

Except if you don't like the rider, in which case it's a heinous crime

Sure attacking is what we like the best, but most GC-men are happy they can follow let alone try to attack. |

Zoetemelk was also always a wheelsucker, but the rest of the peloton was jealous. He was the only one who could actually hold the wheel of Merckx and Hinault on their good days. |

It was pretty clearly implied. I know you're trying to wind up the Dutch, but it doesn't take much really. They're tetchy as hell for some reason. |

You'd be nervous too if at any moment the water could come down and drown the country. You can't run away quick in wooden shoes!

Luckily I'm up in Limburg, where we don't have to fear the see. Then again, is the Maas is overrunning... oh well. Nobody wants Limburg anyway. The Dutch got it because Germany didn't want it. the Dutch didn't want it either and tried to give it to Belgium, but they already had the walloons so passed.

The only problem with wheel sucking is the taste of rubber in your mouth afterwards  |
