I think that last year about this time I started a post with the same title. Then it was that Cunego didn't give him enough support in the mountains. Now it is that Basso was sleazy by asking him to ride slow on the decent then left him on the run in to the finish. From the Cycling News Stage 20 report;
"An angry Simoni called Basso an "extraterrestrial" for his crushing performance and accused him riding unfairly by asking him to ride easy on the perilous descent off the Mortirolo only to leave him stranded on the final hump to Aprica."
I can't understand why he can't just say that he didn't win because someone else was faster
2. He shouldn't have said it. I mean, what's the point of stating the obvious or saying politically correct BS? [censored] and whining is the real thing.

Well he must have been very disappointed and Basso asking him to take it easy was certainly on his mind when he got dropped. What I don't understand is why he couldn't dig in for a couple more kilometers.

Why? Because Basso clearly **outclasses** Simoni ;-)
