They don't like his looks...
I'm assuming the first post was sarcastic. I'm not, ahem, that way inclined but would suggest he's quite a handsome fellow.
I was and I agree with you.0 -

Well yeah, I assumed that too (not enough use of winking emoticons all round I think).[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19698797#p19698797]the article don[/url] wrote:He hides his obese 943kg bulk well too.
What wheels would you recommend for a 943kg rider? Do you think 19/21 spokes will be enough?0 -

Especially considering he's a lard-arse 'n all
Unlike Aru.

Possibly Kirby's finest moment this year0 -
Interestingly Wikipedia lists Tom Dumolin as the same height (6'1") and weight (71kg/72kg) as TJVG“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

But that doesn't take into account the 'not my man coefficient'. Once applied he is 5'7" and 170kg0 -

Presuming Tom gets at least a top-10 in this race, there would have been a Dutchman in the top 10 of every grand tour this year.0

I've calculated Dumoulin's watts/kg as 12 for the finishing climb of the last stage, with average power of 2,405w. This is very much in the "Chris Froome" orbit."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

Looks like I'm missing a good race. Keep up with good spolier commentary. I plan to read it when I finally get to watch.0

That's exactly the same as my stats. I can't ride up mountains as fast as he can. If that isn't enough evidence he must be doing something naughty then I don't know what is!!0 -
Was just thinking it's weird that Quintana looks so old and Chaves looks so young... they're the same age!My wife is more of a Chaves fan, but I think she wants to mother him (hope it's that!).

Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0

Cummings' forte aint the long TTs. His strength is the 10-20km TTs, really0 -
did I imagine it, or have there been TTs when J-Rod has been less awful than expected?
these might have been only the hilly ones
or just wishful thinking0 -

He did very well in a flat TT in the Giro that Ryder won.
I would be surprised if he is within 3 mins of Doumoulin though.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -
Didn't know that! Same with Kiryienka as well, both lost 45" in flat section. Just wonder if wind changed?[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19699009#p19699009]Richmond Racer 2[/url] wrote:Cummings lost 35" in second section to Bodnar. Seems odd!
