Which bold rider has this stage circled in their tour bible? Wednesday July 18th, Stage 16, 197 km. The day after a the final rest day. A climbing day with two HC climbs followed by two Category 1 climbs and a serious descent toward the finish. The Aubisque, Tourmalet, Aspin and Peyresourde: you better be a fearless climber and a good descender, but a better climber. This is not a stage for Sagan or Fränkie Schleck (sorry Frank). If Wiggo was going to have a bad day, this would be a special one to have it on. And this follows a rest day? Could the weather finally make a difference? Will the mad tacker return? Will climbers just try to survive this stage to perform on the fearsome Stage 17? More questions than answers in the Velominati Super-Bunker.
All VSP bettors better give an extra shake of the monkey bones before casting them down. Study them well. There is much at stake: Fizik R3s for the winner, 2 pair of DeFeet socks for first loser. The rules are the same as for the first single stage VSP. Points are awarded for correct place only. Delgado might have enjoyed this stage but don’t be like him.

Hello Minion. And thank you... thank you.
@scaler911
Yes, someone got it (positive-cycling-affirmation)! Like leaving a trail of candy for six-year olds.
@Buck Rogers You make it easy in fact to realize that I should stop visiting this site. A long break would do me good (hurrah). And you can feel a sense of achievement by ridding me of this site (hurrah). I will at least check in to get good reports from the other contributors posts. And can try to discount any nonsense.
@versio
You know what dude, go. You're not only a fucking tool, you're not even funny. You claim to "know Campagnolo (who here doesn't), and then have the balls to admit that you're going to bait people. You're a fucking troll of the lowest common denominator. You have nothing to contribute through your barely coherent posts anyway. "Punch someone in the face". Be gone with your bad self, and I can only hope to be side by side with you in the pack someday. Fuck you.
@scaler911
Just needed you to release me. You are the bigger man here.
@minion
Ya. Can't trust a thing that comes off my keyboard.

So now you're just going to log in with different Wordpress accounts. Who's the child here? Go clean your chain or something. How was that 3hour ride anyway? If you can type, you didn't go hard enough.
@scaler911
You can easily update your nickname in the account. I asked Frank to delete my profile if it was at all possible. The route went faster than expected. Grow up.
@unnamed
The last thing I'll say to you. Deleting your account and coming back with a different handle somehow is going to make you more palatable? Grow up indeed.
@scaler911
You sound like the dumbest Cat 2 fuckup out there! Now that's funny.
