Blokman Posted July 25, 2014 Share What about that woman spectator on the last climb.Imagine you go to all the trouble to get to the stage with all the logistics and costs.You've made your way up the climb and cannot wait for the big moment.When it finally arrives ,you are on your cellphone looking the wrong way, all gaga as the race leader in yellow knocks the thing out of your hand.

Gen Posted July 25, 2014 Share No hate, just not loving him.....see oom green jersey holders are normally the loose cannons they get emotional when things go right or wrong, I prefer them that way. His performance is well...bland. Its a winning performance I agree...he will get the jersey come sunday...will I want to watch re-runs of how he got said jersey...no Thats all. I do. . I love watching him ride.. a couple of times he was came from so far back to get to the line to pick up points.. weaving through the whole lot.. a lot of times without any team mates to help him.. hell that's mos courageous. What about the stage where he fell 15km from the end but still got back to place I think 4th.. does that not show passion and courage. . No you forget to easy.. if that was kittle of greipel or even fabulous they would've not raced back to the front.. ek se maar net. Yes he hasn't won a stage .. but the kid doesn't have the speed the pure sprinters have.. that's well known. . Yes he maybe got his tactics wrong once or twice.. does that make him a boring rider.. not at all.. I've been following him since 2011.. boring he is not.. passionate he def is. And that's the end of my friday outburst lol. And yes I like the kid and yes I probably wear green shaded glasses when I watch him..

I think you're onto something here, green jersey normally contested by sprinters and now you have this oke that can sprint a bit and climb a bit so this leaves the pure sprinters rubbing their heads. How now? Consistency rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am being misunderstood....I am not saying he is kuk...its just that his performance was bland...a winning performance I wont argue. The war of attrition is the GC race...I don't want it to be the green jersey tactics as well.. Basically I want him to gooi a vloermoer when he crosses the line in 3rd wheel..chucking bikes the works....not giving a high five to his team mates because they upped the tally. Se ook net.

Gen Posted July 25, 2014 Share Consistency rewarded. And that's what the green jersey is.. the most consistent rider gets it.. doesn't go to the best sprinter left over after the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
