Tanel Kangert (sounds like a name made up by Tolkien) definitely into the top10

Valls into 18th. I wonder if he can ride himself into a top 15 or so. He has been really quiet since that one big Tour stage.

I was immediately thinking about this when Betancur thought that he won!

If Wiggins wins the race then someone should be smacked in the face hard, for this shitty race.
What? This has been amazing so far.
Agree, this is an exciting GT so far.
But do you disagree with the fact that Nibali, Evans and so on could have taken a minute or more on Wiggins today if they had attacked on the 8-10km mountain, when he had only just caught the back of the pack?
He was very vulnerable again today, and it's poorly raced that they did not use that.
Sure, probably, but you're assuming that theyy are only riding against Wiggins. They probably realise, as much as everyone else does, that Wiggins isn't the only threat there. They don't want to give up time to each other.

Why is he retard? He just didn't see anyone in front of him. Often situation.
Also,race was super-awesomely exciting so far,seems like we aren't watching same race.
If he didn't hear that those two guys wasn't leasing then his sportif directeur is the retard. If he attacked for the stage win, it was an utter waste of energy. If he attacked to claw back 30 seconds on the GC it was a brilliant move, but retarded to havent noticed that there was another rider infront, even the stop clock clearly indicated that he was 45 secondat too late.

"retard" "retarded" is hardly words to describe that, fatigue is probably a better one for not seeing the stop clock. |

Of course, but do you honestly think that Nibali and Evans couldn't agree on a more that eliminated Wiggins and the two colombians as a threat? Everyone with a top 10 goal should have been interested in driving those 3 out of the equation. If you dont ever want to take a gamble you end up being a loser all your career. This was the biggest chance I have seen in quite some time, to eliminate one of the biggest threats.

Or maybe his math is bad and he thought he finished the stage in 54 seconds. |

According to Betancur his communication was malfunctioning so he didn't know if there was anyone up front.
Sounds logical but it's still funny.

Would you give it a rest. Betancur made a fool out of himself by celebrating for 2nd. Nothing more.
I was sort of hoping that Wiggins would really get the hammer today and finish 2-3 minutes down, but I'll have to wait for the next climb.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

If was a rider i would celebrate 2nd place in a Giro stage, especially a hilly one, in a downpour, where i have taken back GC/Youth Jersey time. Why would i not celebrate that fact? Its a great result.
If he didn't know i don't get why that matters anyway. Dudes happy, let him be happy. Is it a waste of energy... No, its a great result.

And the personal insults keep on coming, i just really find that calling a rider a retard for celebrating a non victory (knowingly or not) is a douche move. And last time i checked i'm allowed to call someone out on a douche move. My life is fine, thanks for caring. |

Pieter Weening with some major time losses today considering he was 11th just yesterday after the individual time trial. He is now provisionally down to 38th and +10'29" behind Vincenzo Nibali. |
