It’s been said elsewhere but Evans isn’t half a wily old fox. Look at him, rolling in ninth ahead of any crashes. His team deserve a lot of credit too; normally I’m slating BMC bit they’ve got their act together for the Giro

He might just grab a win tomorrow too ;)

Morabito’s current GC position is testament to how well BMC are going and there’s no doubt about it part of the GC rider’s role is to manage his team so yeah…….hat’s off to Cuddles

Giro d’Italia: REMOVED Michael Matthews from Orica Greenedge roster 20th May 2014 – 23:52

I was caught off guard by this 😕 After placing so well yesterday I thought Matthews might stay maybe for stages just like today… 😕 When I was looking for him on the roster last night I couldn’t find him, obviously, and that’s when I went to the ‘Automatic Roster Changes’ thread to check… The truth is I was pretty surpised that the ‘roadcc_admin’ removed Matthews before anyone on the Forum had brought it up and commented on it… 😕

Nice article, Dave. Good read, but, I’m wondering… out of curiosity, was it you who first noticed Matthews withdrew, then? or dr? 😕 Was it you who removed him as the ‘roadcc_admin’? It all happened so incredibly fast I was taken aback!

What gets me is the ‘roadcc_admin’, whether it was dave, TER or dr, how did they pick up on it before anyone else? Was it that they saw the Sydney Morning Herald article? I mean, Dave, do you make it a habit of reading the Sydney Morning Herald? 😀

What’s cool about the Forum is these things usually get reported first here in the Forum and then the rider removed is removed from the start list… This is the 1st time I can remember we found out from the ‘roadcc_admin’ of a withdrawal because the rider was removed from the start list first with no previous discusion on the Forum… I was a little shocked, I guess… I’m perplexed how it happened the other way around this time… I’m kind of confused, as always… 😕

Please let us know, I’d honestly like these things discussed in the Forum first rather than find out after (!) the rider is removed… Not that I’m trying to imply you should post on Stage threads and (!) the ‘Automatic Roster Changes’ thread, too (!) I know we’re suposed to be on top of the news but I felt a little ‘blindsided’ last night… I needed to be held… 😕

No one can ‘see’ your posts, but you can tell you’ve posted something because it still appears on the Main Fantasy Cycling Forum Page that you posted… It’s probably what happened before in this thread… http://road.cc/content/forum/117852-can-anyone-see-my-posts-me-and-northstar-muted…

I’m lost… what are you referring to?…

I was referring to , results from USA etc. take longer to come across to u guys in Europe and also ITS not a UCI race, some don’t have as good coverage, remember Qatar, Oman etc. disgraceful they were this year.

Are you kidding Enrique, after the debacle last time, this is by far the best way to do things, race has been run and won, it won’t change. Priorities my friend. Smile
You also have to be aware of were the results are coming from, we don’t all live in Europe:) <:P
