2011 Giro d'Italia, May 7th, Stage 1: Venaria Reale → Torino, 19.3km TTT

[Publicus]

Carrots are up next.

 

[auscyclefan94]

The carrots are off! God help them get to the finish in one piece!

 

[Jamsque]

How many Euskas will crash today? Over/Under? I think at least two.

Whoever rides behind them will have the advantage of a carrot to chase.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Not best finish for OPL there, thought they'd try for blanket finish,

colnago lookin much better organized than OPL, any splits yet on colnago?

 

[The Hitch]

ES talk about Modolo and Belleti but dont mention Pozzovovio for Colnago.

I'll take the under for that.

But I'll take over two for number of bones Anton will break throughout the Giro.

 

[Ferminal]

Reasonable enough for Purito. Or not.

Might lose 90s to Saxo

 

[superconfex]

that is poor by Kat

 

[auscyclefan94]

Rodriguez is going to lose a lot of time already!

 

[Moondance]

Lotto 21:21
Katusha 22:03

 

[Publicus]

Katashua was underwhelming.

EDIT: Is the timing based on the first 5?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Bet they had to slow down to keep J-Rod from dropping.

 

[LabMonkey]

Eurosport Player? I just spent 20 minutes resubscribing.

Are you sure your subscription had expired?

I paid up for 12 months at once (till March 2012) but when I tried to log on today it said that my subscription was 'not active' - I think they have may a database problem.

Very annoying to say the least!

 

[cineteq]

Purito already in trouble for the GC....

 

[auscyclefan94]

Colnago new best time! The smal crappy teams are doing well!

 

[Califer Hill]

42secs down for Katusha. On for losing Min+ on top teams.

Lost 36secs on 2nd half.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Purito already in trouble for the GC....

Justifies my contention though I am supposedly contradicting myself

 

[Moondance]

Excellent crowds! Good for the Italians

Can you imagine if the Schleck's had some Basque heritage and rode for EE?

 

[zapata]

Colnago new best time! The smal crappy teams are doing well!

No? I thought colnago were fifth at the checkpoint?

 

[The Hitch]

Excellent crowds! Good for the Italians

Im hoping they beat that on Monte Zoncolan and in Milano.

 

[al_pacino]

Very average for Astana

 

[Ferminal]

Well... at least they beat Katusha home.

 

[Granville57]

Feeling spoiled with live coverage from Universal Sports...

 

[Moondance]

Lotto 21:21
Astana 21:49
Katusha 22:03

Pretty disappointing for Astana
