[The Hitch]

Mollema beat Purito by 2 places I think

Heartbreak.

 

[Ferminal]

Mollema 8th and Rodriguez 10th

Equal on points then, Purito ahead on countback.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It wasn't Sagan. Caruso was it

 

[zapata]

Very happy for Bennati, he deserved that.

 

[luckyboy]

Did Mollema manage to get 2 points on Rodriguez today?

haha ....

Aaargh

 

[Havetts]

JRod 11th!

 

[zapata]

Not sagan. Caruso, who was in the break, third.

I'm convinced Sky don't want Froome to win as he hasn't signed his contract yet...........

 

[Mellow Velo]

3rd Caruso!

So there we have the definitive answer. Bennati owns the no sprinter sprints.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Still Rodriguez, but with tomorrow, you never know. Mollema might just place himself top 15 and Rodriguez not

 

[Nielsa]

Sep Van Market 4th, good job. Should get a domestique spot in the Worlds squad.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Blegh. At least Gasparotto got second.

 

[Shark attack]

6 Italians in the first 10 places!!!

 

[The Hitch]

haha ....

Purito deserved a GT jersey before he retired.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

6 Italians in the first 10 places!!!

Hides the fact that they dissapointed completely in the GC, especially Nibali

 

[BillytheKid]

Unfortunately, I did miss the better part of this race.

 

[The Sheep]

Purito deserved a GT jersey before he retired.

well he still has to earn it, it's not a charity

3rd Caruso!

So there we have the definitive answer. Bennati owns the no sprinter sprints.

In an interview years ago, he said he doesn't consider himself a sprinter, but rather liked to get in breakaways.

Hides the fact that they dissapointed completely in the GC, especially Nibali

Yes...

 

[luckyboy]

Mollema will fight for some points tomorrow surely?

 

[cineteq]

Purito deserved a GT jersey before he retired.

Yup Mollema should respect that, and of course the fact he won 2 stages!
