    Pleased with that. He's an odd man, but deserves more than he's got from his career.

    The Italians and a few others with have to ask themselves why that sat on the wheel of
    85kg+ Canc on the climb!!

    Oh no bum face has got it. Cannot stand the sqeaky voiced whingebag :evil:
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    Fantastic!

    A real up yours to all the people who complained about him never attacking (including me!)

    Brilliant effort.
  • Great, great win. And what was someone saying about GC riders not taking the worlds seriously and it not being a big deal?

    Look at spartacus!

  • Cancellara looks totally stuffed. Great ride by him and Cadel.

    Yup didn't think of that. The rainbow jersey will be displayed at the front of the big mountains next year hopefully.
  • Good swearing there David Harmon!

    Yeeaaaaah! B0llocks JC!
  • I wouldn't have expected it at the start, but I was cheering for Cuddles at the end. Hats off. And what a ride from Cancellara. Heroic - just a shame he was always going to be a marked man in that last lap.

    Wow, that was helluva race. I feel exhausted just from watching :shock:

    I had money and PTP glory riding on J-Rod, but I won't begrudge Evans the win. A very worthy winner.

    Why the hell have they not shown the podium but are doing an extended advert for what's on in Oct.

    WTF is JC playing at?!?

    Great riding at the end there. I could feel his legs burning on that last climb.

    Well done, Cadel.
  • that was amazing, never ceases to amaze me how these guys can cover that distance at that speed then at the end really up the tempo and kick off like that.


    "what not even a countdown, thats bollock's JC"- agreed

    It's still on British Eurosport. Studio coverage but showing the podium ceremony. Only HD coverage has finished.
  • Great effort from Kolobnev as well. Very strong.
