T-Bob Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Dumoulin: with the way Quintana and Nibali rode today I'd be very happy to see them lose their podium spots by Milan. Ouch. They did have a few cracks at him.
Gen Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Ouch. They did have a few cracks at him.To be fair to Dumoulin he just said what everyone feels.. they are so busy watching him and worried about losing and not trying to win that they let Pinot go up the road.. Pinot was not a threat to Dumoulin but to them..and Pinot is gaining ground on them.. so if they do end up losing podium positions because of the way they are riding then they deserve it... and that's what he said... and I agree. Actually refreshing seeing a GC guy call a spade a spade Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Only watched now. Holy cow, NQ is simply the most negative rider I have seen recently.
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Tom lost some cool points with me in interview, saying he hopes Nibs and Quintana lose their podium spots. There are still two days of climbing coming up. His attitude on the podium on stage 16 as well was very unbecoming.If that made him lose points in your book, how deep in the red is Nibali and NQ by now??
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Landa Landa Landa, my bru, maybe your 400m sprint isn't as good as you think it is ????
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 When NQ rode across to the 2 Orica dudes, I thought he would join the pace line and push on. Aka Froome, Sagan and Gee at the Tour. But instead he again just sat there and got caught....
Gen Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Hey maybe we'll see Sunweb - FDJ alliance ...he he.. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 His interview was spicey. But when he said "they rode to make me lose, not for them to win". You can understand that he is annoyed by their behaviour. They let Pinot take a minute on all 3 of them, but they gained nothing on TD.
Bub Marley Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Only watched now. Holy cow, NQ is simply the most negative rider I have seen recently.Hes a coward. I called it earlier. He's waiting for Nibali to attack so he can springboard off him. I don't think I've ever seen someone suck wheels like Nairo. He'll get humiliated in the Tour with Froomey again.
Gen Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Get your popcorn. . Whahahahaha This is hilarious. .some mind games going on.. Dumoulin has Nibali in quite a hissy fit now.. tomorrow Nibali will try and go prove a point and explode something spectacularly ..and perhaps even Quintanna cause I think they have almost reach the point of desperation cause they can't shake him Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Long Wheel Base Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 TvG needs to work on his champagne skills. Almost looked like he was just pouring it outHe doesn't get much practice...... Maybe this will be the confidence boost he needs. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk

Nobody really excpected TD to win in the first place.2. If he does lose his podium place, he didn't do so by riding like a deekhead.3. If Nibali does win, people will remind him that he only won because he attacked when somebody took a dump.4. If TD wins, he would have done so against the odds, against favorites who rode together to beat him, he would also have done it without many team mates.

s14phoenix Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 i think Nibs need to check his arrogance rather than TD. Apart from maybe 1 stage Sunweb and TD has dragged him along. This is shaping up to be a fantastic finale and quite a polygraph as to the BS in the pro peloton. I think this Giro is really showing everyone for who and what they are.
Patchelicious Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Looks he is being chirpy, and that is dangerous. However, he took NQ sprinting him for bonus points after he waited for him, on the chin. He took the fact that Nibali pushed on when he took a poo, on the chin. He even publicly said as much. The fact that negative racing is what set him off is actually not such a bad thing.
dev null Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Toms is playing Nibs like a guitar. I love how he toyed with them on the climb by feigning a few attacks. I would love to hear the conversation amongst them on that climb.
