Elite Mens *spoiler*
Ok, no spoilers yet, but just in case.
I laughed at Yatesy this morning - He reckons Hincapie is in good shape and will go for it today because he lost the US Nationals and doesn't want to wear pink next year.

The Dutch seem to be making a bit of a mess of this - why not let the Spanish do some work?0
-
This is exciting as watching paint dry. Who are the favourites? And does anybody care?
Edit: OK, I found the favourites: http://www.oddschecker.com/other-sports ... -road-race
And I'm still bored.
Another edit: the Dutch must have a strategy. Anyone worked out what it is?<hr>

chase down gesink, who's probably their best rider in any case?0

Now the weaker guys are being elimnated, who do you fancy?
Expect a surprise from anyone?Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
rebellin's away, but i expect he'll be caught. I reckon it'll be between freire and pozzato..0

I reckon Valverde will hop on a motorbike for the final lap, with Dr Fuentes sat behind him holding a flag saying "ha ha ha". Valverde will eventually get stripped of the title in 2041 when the Court for the Court For Sporting Arbitration of Arbitration Decisions make their final decision.
Just a hunch.0 -
i can see millar hiding in the wheels - can he place high do you think?0

MIllar was very active on the last lap of last year's race - let's hope he can do something now0

Go boogie!0

FORZA BETTINI!!!!!!!!
What a final.
Brilliant.

Nice one by Bettini to rub it in the faces of the Germans!0
-
schumacher made a mistake going after evans with 1 km to go. Gave bettini a free ride...0

Great, just what cycling needs. A world champion with questions over his integrity. :?-- Dirk Hofman Motorhomes --0
-
Can't wait to see McQuaid or the Mayor of Stuttgart hand the jersey to Bettini :roll:0
-
What's your beef Phil? He's agreed to give his DNA if requested. What else do you want?0
-
uh - it already had one of those before the race started0
-
What a fantastic ride by Bettini - made the break, didn't panic, controlled it brilliantly and paced his finish to perfection. You don't learn race tactics like that from a pharmacy so i'll completely ignore phil s' irrelevant post - unless of course he wanted Evans to win - who as usual did absolutely nothing to make a race of it!Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
-
Didn't open his mouth much on the climbs either except to give out to anyone who dared work less than he.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0
-
Evans and Schleck virtually handed him the jersey on a plate. Good on him though. A great champion.
BTW Yates and Porter sounded like they were on mogadon compared to Harmon and even Kelly! Hopeless at picking out riders too.0 -
Crowd not at all happy with Bettini on the podium - lot of whistling and cat-calls. McQuaid looked like he was going to punch him!'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0
-
A great victory. Now that he's agreed to give DNA I want to say 'case closed' and salute him. Is that naive? Is there any 'evidence'?<hr>

I don't give a rat's arse about the piece of paper from the UCI. What bothers me are some of his ambiguous statements, and his silence on certain matters. He is not the role model cycling needs, not by a long shot.-- Dirk Hofman Motorhomes --0 -

There never was. Aside from the fact he had the balls to say no to the UCI and their nonsense.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
I so wanted Kolobnev to take it, would have been a double-header for Bjarne, but never mind it was a thrilling ride.0
-
Super race, shame about the winner.0
-
It was a very tall helmet and it did look like it was perched rather than worn to be fair.0
-
i reckon hugh and yatesy were ok - the rider recognition is tougher when they're not in trade team kits0
