Rocket-Boy Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Funny how no one was talking Fabs up as a fav, yet did he smashed it or what. Way to go, legend!In all honesty I have been cheering for him for ages now in TT and he has disappointed for a good while.Im really happy he got this one though, perfect way to finish off a career.
kosmonooit Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 He took Strade Bianche in gladiatorial style this year (and in 2008) http://images.cyclingtips.com/content/uploads/2016/03/73a69435-8f14-4958-8b63-bed0288afea1.jpg Hasn't really been in the running for TT's for a while, but Fabs style is to strike where least expected. Reckon he didn't really show his face at the TdF this year for this exact reason, so that no one would be expecting anything from him.

Patchelicious Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 What a race Worthy podiumOnly TommyD seems to be a bit sulky about it.

Eugene Oppelt Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Cool little feature article on Dan from Nam' in 'The Accidental Time Trial' Enjoy, fans Dan Craven skipped his post-race massage after the Olympics road race, because he was done racing. He started eating ice cream in the athletes village. He even took a few sips of beer. Then he got a call: A time trial slot has opened up, do you want it?He didn’t have the right bike, he didn’t have the right gear, he hadn’t trained for the event at all. Anything but last place would be a miracle.But of course he’d start. He rolled down the ramp on Wednesday on a Cannondale road bike with drop bars, no skinsuit, no disc wheels. He did so because Namibia’s lone male cyclist rides for something bigger than himself. http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/08/news/dan-nam-accidental-time-trial_417779

Gen Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Refresh my memory, who is Luigi?Well no one really knows for sure.. some say it is Fabulous other say it was Dekker.. Tyler Hamilton said something that Luigi was Fabulous's code name but ja.. this is now just LA (the male version) wanting people to remember that he still exists [emoji6] http://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/thomas-dekker-was-klant-bij-spaanse-dopingarts-fuentes~a3381753/
