16/04 - 20/04: Tour of the Alps (Giro del Trentino)

[Netserk]

Now after Mendola, the gap is up to 58''.

 

[70kmph]

Its an ambush

Re:

Yeah, i want to see the same at the Giro

 

[Netserk]

At the beginning of Palade:

Pinot
Pozzovivo
Visconti
O'Connor
Senni
Montaguti

+54''
Sky and Astana led bunch, 30-40 riders.

 

[Rollthedice]

Pozzo, Pinot, Visconti, O Connor and Senni have over one minute in front, 40 km to the finish.

 

[Netserk]

Montaguti caught after a mechanical, it seems.

 

[Netserk]

The entire Astana team in the first 7 positions of the bunch. Froome is down to Kenny. The gap remains stable, almost seems to be race over for those caught behind.

 

[Laplaz]

Hahahaha Astana, every rider still there, incredible.

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome's lieutenants drop like flies on Astana's pace in the chase.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

[bigcog]

[wouterkaas]

De La Cruz was completely blown up.

I wonder how long Astana can maintain this tempo, still 33 km to go...

Or saving himself ? Probably not.

 

[Netserk]

Lopez goes?!

 

[Red Rick]

What the hell is going on Lopez?

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome is in panic mode.

 

[Netserk]

Helping out the doms. It's not like he'll have to attack later in the stage.

Re:

Eh ? He's just following Lopez

 

[wouterkaas]

Bit strange tactics from Astana here.

Could be actually, now that you mention it. Astana and Sky have a shared interest here.

 

[Netserk]

Visconti dead.

 

[Red Rick]

Astana not having a single rider in the first group is quite the monumental *** up

 

[RedheadDane]

Danish commentators just praised Astana for how much they race as a unit. Then... this... :lol:

 

[Netserk]

4km to the top, bunch is 38'' behind.

 

[Gigs_98]

Can anyone tell me what on earth is going on?
