Goddamm, Simoni is a tool
publicly blaming Cunego for his inability to win. Dude should look in
the mirror and work on his time trialing. From: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...n05/jun14news2 Cunego in doubt for the Tour Damiano Cunego's presence at the Tour de France is looking increasingly unlikely after he was diagnosed as getting mononucleosis in the second half of April. snipend |

So, was he diagnosed in late April, or did he contract mono in late
April with a later date of diagnosis? If the former, what the hell was he doing in the Giro? If the latter, how should Simoni have known Cunego had mono? |

I thought Cunego did as much as he could, given the circumstances, to support Simoni. I agree this makes Simoni look like ****, now hopefully Cunego, who's the future, keeps his mouth shuts and waits for his time, which is coming soon. Bill C |

Simoni lost because he can't time trial. Maybe that's Cunego's fault too. The thing for Simoni to do would be to follow Basso's example and do 100k/day on the TT bike. That won't happen though and next time Simoni doesn't win, he'll blame something else. Everything but himself. God forbid that. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

H. Dumbass Gringioni,
See my posts on what a dick I think Simoni is, I think he's a jerk. I agree with your analysis of his performance. But unless you can show that he knew Cunego had mono, why do you use this as reason to re-open the issue? C'mon you know this, Hunter |

Dumbass - The story puts an exclamation point on the lame-ness of Simoni's blaming a teamate instead of recognizing his own shortcomings. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

(if he did know, then yes, he is a tool imo too). does it matter if we agree? (we probably agree on the answer to this one :-) if he had done a basso like you suggest, it would have been good, but on the other hand, it's a team sport, why disregard that when analyzing a failure? hh |

"h squared" wrote in message ... , but on the other hand, it's a team sport, why disregard that when analyzing a failure? hh My problem with him in the Giro is that his team, and the other forces of the race, put him into position to win. He was virtual pink with one descent and one climb to go on the last meaniful stage. All he had to do was fly down one pass and follow a wheel up one the next climb and he would have had the GC locked. If you are a team leader at some point you have to lead. He claims to be a great climber but he couldn't climb with Rujano, even after DiLuca towed him up the second to last climb. I seems to me that the most that you can ask of your team is to put you in position to win, and his team did. |
