If you've got a problem with it, just place him on your ignore list.

When will the attacks come in the Maglia Rosa group? Everybody is right behind Menchov.

I can't believe they let Buffalo Horns man get so close to the riders.

Thankfully that will also positively correlate with a tremendous decrease in whining that's going on it this thread. ;)

Hocam 05-25-09 08:36 AM

Go popovich!!!!!!

bbattle 05-25-09 08:39 AM

Is this the whining thread or the Discuss the Giro thread?

Popo attacks, takes Cunego and Bosisio with him. Scarponi is fried.

Levi really needs to attack today; I think if he's got it, he could put some time on Menchov. Certainly won't be able to get much time in the TT and why wait for Blockhaus unless Blockhaus is truly the Do or Die stage.

You see the problem is you aren't discussing the Giro you are trying to report it...we have Velonews and Cyclingnews doing that at a much higher level...then there is live video coverage..all of this available to anyone who has an internet connection....If you want to discuss the race feel free..

Hocam 05-25-09 08:48 AM

Bbattle is the swervy crit rider, whereas EDR and botto are the guys yelling at him before he causes a crash.

I think popo is popped.

daytonian 05-25-09 08:50 AM

scarponi is shattered sho-doobi

bbattle 05-25-09 08:51 AM

So far, almost no one but me has mentioned the race; most people are engaged in some childish "I said, you said" hissy fit that started a day or so ago.

I'd prefer to discuss team tactics or what is going on. No one responds to my questions, just more whining.

So, Lance right up with Menchov. Will he attack and if he does, would Menchov respond or just let him go? Will Menchov just watch Levi, DiLuca, Basso?

Prodigy4299 05-25-09 08:53 AM

Is it just me, or is everyone else's Universal Sports feed getting choppier as the race gets more exciting? Very frustrating!

Hocam 05-25-09 08:53 AM

Lance is like 4 or 5 minutes down, and I don't think he even has the legs for an attack so your question kind of sucks.

Levi is only 40 seconds down, so obviously he'd respond.

botto 05-25-09 08:54 AM

Hocam 05-25-09 08:58 AM

pwned

Too bad there's no rest day couch sprints. I'd win that for sure.

end of discussion:roflmao2:

matches will be lit

JoelS 05-25-09 08:59 AM

I think they're waiting for the final climb.

johnybutts 05-25-09 08:59 AM

Best reply from justin.tv chat:

Where's Lance?
He's twittering.

bbattle 05-25-09 09:01 AM

After the Pauwels sit up, I don't think Bosisio is going to do the same for DiLuca.

Lance has been right next to Menchov on the climb; why have practically the entire Astana team up there if they aren't planning something.

If Lance attacked, others could be encouraged to jump on his wheel. Jailbreak, if you will. Front of the peloton is getting crowded; Rabobank running out of gas?
