Giro d'Italia 2018: The Most Beautiful Grand Tour

[Yo-Yo]

Dream on

Unfortunately I think LM has an allergy problem..... he seems to be allergic to riding anywhere near the front

 

Come on tifosi. All this negativity and scorning LM is coming from one sad place.

 

There is no Teejay to heckle at the giro.

LOL makes me think of I once asked this to Nolan Hoffman in a race.

 

Two ahead in a race(one of my team mates not his. Me, Dan Craven(my team mate at the time) and nolan behind. You would think as fastest its up to Nolan to chase(although Dan and I new our boy ahead was a sitting Duck).

 

Nolan sitting wheel all the time So i pul up next to him ans ASK "You afraid of the wind?" and Nolan replies "Yes Man". Almost shat myself laughing that day.

At least he was honest.

Ben O'Connor is currently 13th, cycling well and a good chance of making top 10 or better. Louis is likely to be on his own else demoted to domestique for Ben, same as now Chaves will be for Yates!

 

Any dreams of him being let loose to go for stage wins is a pipe dream, apart from it's not in his nature and currently doesn't possess that killer instinct... he just doesn't have the form!

 

DDD have to focus on Ben for the points.

But that would mean he has to ride at the front.............

I am just happy I am not a professional sports person, all the criticism from every Tom, Dick and Harry must be tiresome.

May do him some good as he seems to be lacking fitness....

He gets well paid to do a job, his job is to entertain Tom, Dick and Harry.

 

Yes LM rides a bike but the only reason he gets paid to ride a bike is because we watch him. It's a tough crowd but we want him and DD to deliver. If they don't he may very well find himself looking for a new job and based on his current performance it would be a fetch and carry water bottle job. We have high hopes for brother Louis but it's not looking good at the moment.

Very well, apparently $/€1.4m a season.

For me Tom is starting to look good.

He's just there waiting for the right moment to attack Yates.

 

For Yates sake I hope Scott can re-group and protect him - I think he's going to need it.

 

Maybe MainCheese is also missing his asthma pump.

Tom riding very well, managing his efforts really well.

 

They will really push M-S over the next few stages..softening them up properly before week 3.

It is tough at the top, so they say... this jackass would not know but I’ve heard this from a few Tom and Dicks on the interweb so it must be true.

 

It would be nice to see him ride aggressively on occasion instead of staying at back following wheels, even if they are seriously good wheels.

 

But seriously, you might have a point.

Based on his recent TDF efforts and u23 WC Louis has been quite rightly been put in the lime light and now he is suffering the fall out.

 

I would love to know why he lost so much time yesterday, was it because he simply could not keep up or because he was sluiping right at the back and got caught out being to far back to bridge the gap?

 

TV Couch Experience tells me he was caught out

Stage 11

I think it's going to get a bit spicy today. People maybe tired from the full gas racing yesterday but it's a tricky stage & nice ramp at the end. The fact it's a cat 4 belies nasty sting in the tail, could be a good day for Yates to carve a little more time today.

 

I wonder if we'll see lead out trains on either side of the road coming into the intermediate sprint for another Yates / Pinot show down today.

I can actually watch some of the stage today...so I am hoping for more fireworks

With him fighting for the white jersey a few years ago against the Yates brothers, and now seeing Simon not only in pink but the way he rides his bike. He attacks the Inters for bonus time, learned to TT etc, i think this is what has made most Saffas look at LM and say , JUST DO SOMETHING , PLEASE!
