Yeah should be a good one. Some have apparently been calling it THE HARDEST GRAND TOUR STAGE EVER which is a little laughable given that it's less than 140km but every one of those climbs is a bastard. It looks like there are 3-4km above 10% gradient on the first climb so the race will be in pieces straight away.

Or they'll be so worried they'll ride the race at a snails pace till the last 2 climbs.

Good question. Maybe the same reason there's Nibali/Aru at Astana?

Forget what I said about Movistar earlier.

Also, I love it when people chase down their own teammates.

Oh, Aru can actually take the leader's jersey.

Doesn't count. He will probably come up with some excuse and abandon. They keep a cheese grater in the team car so he can make it look like he "crashed". Fact.

He was actually in contention then of course and got 2nd. Any time he's down on GC he just quits. Like "ow my wrist hurts i wanna go home Sir Dave". Just a gutless coward and a fraud.

I really hope your posting is a gimmick cos it must really suck to be as angry and negative as you are all the time. You need to cheer up

Your posts aren't funny but maybe they eventually will be if I keep reading them. I'll let you know. You mostly sound angry at a sports figure for flimsy reasons and act like a generally unpleasant person.

E: How anyone can call a pro cyclist "gutless" after watching the last week of bullshit happenings doesn't know what they're talking about.

I'll stick to posting about the topic of the thread, which is the sport of cycling, and you can continue trying to tone police people in here as if anyone cares.
