nah
Seems he had some sort of ok. They just didn’t do things completely by the book. Besides they would never take down an icon on anything less than an open and shut case. He got away with the hotel-room IV video so……
He stole a video?
I am confused.
Canna’s in his swan song anyway. It’s all about Chiellini now.

There's a video from his Parma days
where he and his teammates are preparing for a european cup game hooked up to IVs happily laughing away. The substances were gray-area but it surely didn’t look good.
Italy
needs new blood….
seriously, that team sucks…especially when they play Ireland…gosh….anything more boring than that?
Denmark
Sorry I’m caught up in the national frenzy. The deciding qualifier between Sweden and Denmark is played in 3 hours in Copenhagen. Most hyped game I can remember.
Honduras
I think they’re in deep trouble.

Spain for me.
but I do follow the results of the qualifying games.
and this year is particularly interesting….
CONCACAF scenario generator
Here’s another soccer post that’s fun: just plug in the scores and see who gets through and who faces the 5th South American team.
Costa Rica is in the hot seat as far as I can see.
you'd think the South American team will get through
but, Argentina, is looking terrible right now….
I don't know.
I mean Costa Rica is also sucking right now but if they turn it around their home field advantage is huge.
hmm I have a strange feeling I have "seen" this race already?
or maybe it was just an early morning dream, or I read the book, this is the movie?
(yes yes I know no spoilers)
I completely forgot about the whole Vino thing
now I’m going to look for Sella

Vino and Fuglsang I belive

Sylvester Szmyd
Is my favourite under appreciated rider in the peloton this year.

I don't know
He might not prosper as a protected rider. But he sets a beautiful pace on climbs

hey funny thing I actually went back and accurately counted
the silly podium points thing during the worldchamps,
and you rbjhan actually tied Willj for the rainbow / gold with same # points,
I am glad that is over with, I had fun, and I had no idea is was so un-fun for many more!
no worries, glad you did,
it brought everyone else out of the woodwork also,
and I like to participate in fun social activiites,
not be off in the corner playing by myself.
sorry civetta and also maybe Jens,
I really thought you didn’t mean it when you said you were booking out just before end of race a few hours ago . . .
well, you didn't spoil anything so no worries
but if it specifically say “no spoilers” in a post that is a pretty good indication
it was just a joke when I said we all had no idea.
Bruce Suomi also says above: I know the winner
we were both just pulling your legs, and you both fell for it.
And yes we did not spoil, so no harm just some fun :)
PopUp Rolen almost did
by saying he forgot about the whole Vino thing. Ie.: if Jens saw that he then probably knew Vino wouldn’t win. Or, I am too paranoid.
I think . . . and PopUp can maybe come in and verify,
that when PopUp Rolen said “. . . the whole Vino thing”, he was referring to Vino even being IN the break, not getting dropped by it?
Neither are correct, I meant I forgot Vino was even back and racing
Still bizarre to see home in Astana gear, and I naturally assumed it was Jani or Horner. It is fall and in Italy.
Seems he was too eager to get to the front with 500 meters to go

what a sprint ! ----- climby types in full-on oxygen debt
the earlier race reports didnt do Gesink justice nice win
The climb itself?
or climb + environs?

Shorter and more predictable
it’s so fierce you have to keep cool until last 100-150 m. This has more possibilities for attacks. I like this one more.
you are all totally correct,
I just watched the tedvdw provided last climb video below,
and this climb is unsurpassed for the climb itself as well as the scene and scenery.
Alpe d’Huez is a totally different story, different category altogether.
It's a pretty awesome climb
but the best climbs are the ones where the riders are the most active, the riders do make the race after all. Seeing Emilia is a one day race there will be always be great action, so I’d say it’s the best finishing climb in cycling. Climbs like Ventoux and Alpe are legends but just look at this years stage 20, ani-climatic and not too much action going on with the overall win all but decided already.
Dammit Elk! I don't care if it's your mating season, you are disturbing my peaceful sleep! Just STFU!
that
was awesome.
Sorry about the football score.

Thanks for that
Fantastic result for Gesink and three Saxo guys in Top 10. Excellent.
