Who else (but the Italians) would organise a stage covering 180km to then finish up a Castle wall ... 18% ... have a bite at the pic below. It is fact that last year some in the Groupetto had to actually walk their bikes up this finish.
Evans grabbed the leaders blue jersey (blue - sea to sea) yesterday by a slippery 2 seconds but glory of all fuckin glories he came out today on stage 6 and powered up the 18% finish dropping a few Italians on the way. His timing was impeccable and while it wasn't a dynamic explosion, it was a ground out pace that no one could match.



Oh Deezmon,
ReplyDeleteYou're so continental now. I can feel your Rs rolling off your tongue.
Beautifully described. What a day...Bobby wins a climbing finish of a sicko Italian track. Wish I was there.
The videos are on Cycling Tips, if you want to watch. Some nasty steep sections, only made laughable by the thought of little old grannies daily climbing them, on their steel singlespeeds, to get the bread in the morning!
ReplyDeleteOf course, Cadel has the advantage of a hint of Sun Rouge on the small toenail on his right foot ;-)
Without a doubt it was the Flame Rouge toenail!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant ride by cadeliski, but he really needs to work on his celebration technique as he crosses the line...he's so awkward, it's almost unbearable to watch. I reckon he needs a signature move, maybe a double gun, a bow and arrow or a good old fashioned whip crack to upstage the meat eating canary....any other suggestions? Maybe we can gather them up and I'll give them to his manager. I like the idea of an over the top whip action taking out 2 or 3 buggered riders at the end, it would make for interesting tv highlights...they could even play devo "whip it good" as he did it....da na na na na
ReplyDeleteHe rides like a crab and he signals like one.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Capt America too, all chin and helmet ooh er!!
He's a cunt and you know it. Come July those dopers will give him another spanking and BMC will be looking around and talking up 2012.
Look at Unky Lance or Cuntador, they look at you see how your going " are you coming, no course your not cos I'm the fucking man". Crab.. he's jsut on the wheel doing his but, being ugly.
That's it. He's just plain fucking ugly.
I was about to suggest he flash his nuts as he crosses the line but I reckon he'd drop the nicks and there it would be ... smiling back at the cameras ... one big fuck off vagina.
ReplyDeleteThen Cuntador would start thinking I've been eatin roid meat and I only beat a guy with a vagina by 23 seconds.
Willing to bet the princely sum of 50cents, and forgo lunch, on the UCI appealing the 'roid' meat. Even if they lose they will try to make him at least miss this years Tour. Which leaves the Shreks v The Upstarts with Vagevans in the mix.
ReplyDeleteGlorious.
ReplyDeleteThis is what a blogg's about.
The crab should motion his big arse claws and simulate pealing back his girly parts to invite those little Lithium engineered spanish hor dourves inside. Hey, my li'll friends. Hop in, I'll carry you all up this M*&#cker with me next time.
Or perhaps he should just flash his long feller as he crosses with a message, "Do it clean skinned."
