2012 Giro dÂ’italia May 13 Stage 8: Sulmona- Lago Laceno

[Christian]

Bennati pulls out due to illness. That guy cannot catch a break

 

[Mellow Velo]

Watching RAI. Just started the roll out. Ryder blowing pink kisses.

 

[Frosty]

20k climb to start off with at 4% yet its not even a KoM. Could be a tough start for some if its a high pace while a break tries to get established.

 

[Lexman]

any webstream yet?

any webstream yet?

no, live coverage on Rai starts in ~3 hours, they just had some pictures from the start I assume

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Van Winden abandons because of a knee injury.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Berard (Ag2r), Minguez (Euskaltel), Amador (Movistar) and Marczynski (Vacansoleil) have over 5 minutes on the peleton.

 

[Frosty]

Amador at 1.16 overall.

Problemi intanto per Emanuele Sella. Il vicentino chiama il medico di gara per alcuni dolori intestinali.

intestinal problems for sella it seems
bad news for the entertainment of the stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No Sporza until 17h they find some brussel expo **** more important

eurosport it is, darn it

No, that doesn't have anythign to do with it since I'm not on KPN digitenne
Sporza will simply only review the Giro today at 17h. Only live = livestream on their site.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Just watch Eurosport on mute.

I'll be amazed if Eurosport turn up on time, too.
Sunday cycling being what it is, for them.
RAI for me, hopefully live racing in about 15 minutes.

Eurosport almost always find a reason to be late.

All the streams I normally use are saying 15:15 CEST.

 

[Froome19]

I think break is around 9 minutes ahead.

 

[dlwssonic]

harmon and kelly aren't so bad..

 

[dlwssonic]

Very interested to see how frank schleck does today. Its very rare that frank does well in those uphill sprints like yesterday, shows that his form is decent.
He can podium or even win.

 

[Froome19]

harmon and kelly aren't so bad..

Kelly is decent, but Harmon

He would be better commenting on F1 or something, why specifically cycling if he doesnt know anything about the sport?

He seems enthusiastic and he's relatively new isn't he? I don't think he's so bad, he could be better but no one is perfect. At least he has a genuine interest in the sport.

He is very good on the short steep stuff.
Look last year stage 4 tour, FW etc, never amazing but consistently decent unlike Andy.

yea agree with woodie, he loves the sport and is always excited about it. He is quite entertaining too.

This. He can really annoy me but I believe he genuinely loves the sport. His enthusiasm at times is awesome. Less so when he is on boner watch with wiggo.
