C'mon don't hate on Fuglsang, he just doesn't know better 
It's just that I want everything close to Andrew to fail. He's the new Armstrong in that sense.
You lost with me with Andrew. Do you mean Andy? In that case...*HIGH FIVE*

On the positive side for Cunego, it was great to see him back. Haven't seen him this strong since he won the Giro. Hope he can carry this form to the Tour, it could end in a Top 10 or even Top 5.

Fuglsang only 8 seconds from a podium. At least he disproved the Rabobank-fanboys(well, fanboy) who said he had no chance at all at top 3. |

After Sunday it will be:
1. Cunega
2. Leipheimer
3. Kruijswijk/Fuglsang
So? He had the order wrong and he spelled Cunego's name wrong. And he had two names on 3rd place. That's not a proper prediction. |

So let me get the facts right...
Leipheimer = wheelsucker
Everybody hating him in this thread.
Cancellara = not-wheelsucker ('For me a win like that doesn't count' about Nuyens motto)
Everybody hating him during MSR and, mainly, the cobble classics.
So... yeah...

Blablabla, LeoTard rode after Rabobank all week and rode after opponent bad luck and still have no podium in the final. I call that a big fail.
Rabo 3,5 and 8, Leopard 4, 7 and 10.
Leopard luckily have Cancellara who made 2 stagewins in the TT otherwise it would be a total failure again, riding the whole week with no wins and no podium final would have looked stupid |

Call it a fail, you might be spot on, but what from I read that's got nothing to do with what Andro was on about...

I think everyone is forgetting how well Levi closed the gap to Kruijswijk, Danielson and Frank on stage 7. He doesn't need to attack becuase he knows he can time trial, plus he doesnt have that acceleration becuase he's 37. You play to your strengths and thats how you win races. |

+1.... why blow up when you can minimize losses and win other ways. Huge congrats to Levi! And everyone makes fun of Radioshack for being grandpas/oldies, but they are beating guys half their age....TDS, Cali, etc.. |

Jesus, Is there any non-Rabobank Rider out there, that you dont hate?
And To the Fuglsang Topic: You mock him because he didnt make the podium? Kruijswijk was not very impressive today either. The way I see it, we will be having lots of fun in July, while we are happy that our favourite teams perform and Rabobank will underperform. And I base this on 2 reasons: 1. Kruijswijk is probably (or most likely) not going to the Tour. Leaves only Mollema and Ten Dam to help Gesink.
2. Other Teams (Saxobank and Leopard) will go to France with a whole support team for their Leaders in the Mountains.. Rabobank will drag Freire along, which costs them at least 2-3 slots in the team for a new climber...

Freire are and Kruijswijk are definitaly not going to ride the tour. Freire is undergoing surgery and Kruijswijk already rode the giro. They'll also bring a team in total support of Gesink.
Also I don't get why you keep mentioning Rabobank. Ruben's not even a Rabobank fan. Me on the other hand...

I am reading this again and again, and I am still laughing more and more.. 
Easily said, don't cry, Ruby!
Rabobank had extremly great TDS, only Kruijswijk dropped from the front group. That's all!
Leopard had quite good TDS, 2 expected wins by Cancellara, mountain jersey, and then they tried to get the best overall positon in this Tour and that's everything about it once again!
But yeah, you have tears in your eyes because Leopard is racing against "your" Dutch riders and they don't let Rabobank win!
I am having good laugh about this, so thanks! 
PS: Rabobank will fail really hard in this year's TdF!

Thats what i based my Kruijswijk comment on.
However I didnt know that Freire is undergoing surgery...
Thanks for clarifying that
Well I naturally assumed that he was seeing as for the past week he has been making such a big hype about Mollema, Ten Dam and Kruijswijk...

Of course they failed, but you were still wrong to say that Fuglsang had no shot at top 3, and you were also wrong when you said they rode for Fränk and his 4th place. Fuglsang was clearly who they were riding for. |

Are you kidding me, Ruben? Luckily? Having a rider on a team is a luck? (He gets paid for it) That's like saying that US Postal luckily had Armstrong who made 7 TDF wins.
I must admit that i have a been too harsh to you when you defend dutch riders, but when you start to criticise other teams (especially Leopard) you sometimes say some stupid things. |

If he's still alive I'll kill him. If he isn't, I'll kill him again.
Of course I'm just kidding, though.
