Get out.
Haha, I actually looked it up (using the Giro Google homepage that no-one uses anymore :-) ) to see if it was a real word as it sounds cr*p and was informed by Wikipedia that it is slang.
So I thought I could just about get away with it - obviously not

Whether it's true or not (and I know he's typically laid back), but he's got good form so surely he should be going in with a more positive attitude than that.
Id guess after the pressure on Porte to deliver that ended up always going so badly they are keen to ensure that expectations are realistic, and dont pile the pressure on. GT and Landa can fly under the Quintana/Nibali radar and see how they go, theoretically.
I get that, but he has enough GT experience now that he/Sky should be in a position to resolve his 3rd week issues and a realistic target should be top 5. Not sure what sort of message it sends out saying it doesn't matter if he blows up. Wonder what Landa thinks if he reads that.
- Landa is already on Nibali's radar as a big threat.0 -

I doubt he actually believes what he said. he'll be fully in to do well and won't think it's ok if he doesn't."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0 -

OT and I'm far more excited about the Giro but why... all browsers let you just search from the address bar and you can even just right click a word and get google to search for it... why go through the bother of typing www.google.whatever and then going to that page and typing your search. Type it in the address bar and bam...0 -
^Just have www.google.com as your browsers default webpage if you want to see it. It's probably more legacy than anything.0

It's my work PC homepage.
In all the years of Google doodles, this is the first one I've ever bothered clicking on.0 -

Works if you know how to use a PC but you'd be amazed how many people and just google everything. Where I work I've seen people use the google search box we have on our company homepage, search for google and then use google to search for a website rather than just type bbc.co.uk or amazon.co.uk.

What's the point of Stage 3? Only 148km and basically flat... Sprint stages should at least have a bit of distance.0

Well I'm not going to watch it all, but a flat 150km is not very impressive to me. It may as well be another rest day, waste of everyone's time.TailWindHome wrote:bobmcstuff wrote:What's the point of Stage 3? Only 148km and basically flat... Sprint stages should at least have a bit of distance.

It's not a waste of sprinters' days. Cycling is all about diversity.bobmcstuff wrote:

Isn't there a massive transfer after stage 3 ? Short stage may be related to that0
