Oh and nice of them to name a climb, after you.

Is that for all your hard work with the Special Needs, of NSC.

From a couple of weeks ago, and I know I said it then but:-

'Anything interesting in L'equipe, there Sean'.
'No not really'.

says it all really.

I don't think they are too painful, but when they are by christ they really do get on my tits, like now.
'did you really think J-Rod would be in the mix?'

Well I bloody well did that's why he's one of the sodding favourites.

At least Sean kelly put the record straight on Ryder for you just now , because the numpty won't give him the recognition he deserves.

 

[1066familyman]

Great, Tshopp & Cataldo allowed to go. Here we go.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's cat and mouse, but the mice have fooked off.

This climb is going to be so nasty.

What are the GC leaders doing? They are just looking at each other and eating cake, meanwhile Tschopp, Nieve and Cataldo are riding away from them. I know those guys are a fair way down in the GC but this will put them right back in the mix if they let them go any further.

 

[Stat Brother]

Total catch 22.
For J-Rod et al attack the escapees, they'll be handing the Giro to RH.

If they don't they hand it to De Ghent.

So actually it's not catch 22 it's lose lose.

 

[Pantani]

Sorted itself out a bit now. Gonna come down to the Stelvio now. Tschopp and Cataldo seem to have disappeared.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yeah panic over.
Lucky we're not DS's

I'd just be telling them to attack every five minutes, making myself the most unpopular DS since Bruyneel (if you are a Schleck).

 

[Pantani]

Why put an interview on now? WTF is wrong with you people.

 

[Stat Brother]

At least it gives me a momentary NSC break.

 

[Pantani]

'Vande Velde has gone, oh no, he is still there'. It was so obvious the previous picture was just focusing on Ryder and VV was still there.

 

[Pantani]

De Gendt and Nieve still going well, think they will get caught though.

 

[1066familyman]

I'm a bloody nervous wreck here - for Ryder and for the fantasy league.

De Ghent has really done a job here. Probably gone too early and will get caught but that's thrown a bit of a spanner in the works for our man.

 

[Pantani]

Looks like Cataldo been dropped from the lead group, the Omega rider is Pauwels.

 

[Pantani]

What a ride by De Gendt. Sorry Ryder but I have a new favourite in this race, bravery like that should be rewarded.

 

[Stat Brother]

Job done.

I've come to the conclusion, this bloke hates NSC's finest.
He's been slagging him off since the top of the Mortirolo.

But Ryder has ridden like Grand Tour winner.

 

[1066familyman]

No doubt for Thomas there. Superb ride!

Very pleased for Ryder. He was put under immense pressure and just about came through it. Massive thanks has to go to Vande Velde.

 

[Stat Brother]

Are they just talking up tomorrow, or plan stoopid.
With 2 mins in the bank and able to do this:-

I was at the cricket but my missis said the last few minutes were superb, look forward to catching it later, this is what grand tours are all about, retro results...
