2012 Giro d'Italia, May 11th, Stage 6: Urbino - Porto Sant'Elpidio 207km

[Frosty]

Sky and Rabobank are going to lose 3 riders each

Yeah, you are right about 3 sky - Hunt is in that group i assume

 

[shalgo]

Impressive that Colbrelli was in the main peloton at 1:51. But then he couldn't even finish in front of Hesjedal in the sprint.

 

[Frosty]

Modolo and Goss in the 21.11 group. 38 riders not classified yet.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Must be about 30 riders in the bus. They'll let them all back in

Scrub - not that many

 

[TeoSheva]

So just under 50kph required. Considering that they'll know they are cutting it fine, I think they'll just survive.

it's 46.15km/h ... so they can do it

Cav's little group just passed the 6km to go banner. This should be close.

[Gloin22]

This is proving more exciting than the whole stage itself....

This is proving more exciting than the whole stage itself....

I was about to say the same thing

 

[hatcher]

Who you going for, Cav or Bos?

 

[Ferminal]

Sky and Rabobank are going to lose 3 riders each

They just take points off them?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Modolo and Goss in the 21.11 group. 38 riders not classified yet.

I thought Goss was going to win the stage?

The stage was quite good actually. Disappointing about Farnese and BMC (while GC guys weren't supposed to do anything), but the fight for the win and the jersey was quite interesting.

 

[hatcher]

aw man. everyone's coverage just ended?

 

[thegrimpeur]

Who you going for, Cav or Bos?

This could really come down to Bos having to lead out Cav to get inside the time limit. Its THAT close.

 

[TeoSheva]

does anyone know exactly the time limit? even the seconds are important

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Guardini just in.

Miguel Angel painted a best seller today. Caressed by both the Atlantic and the Pacific, with valleys and mountains, Colombia is Passion!. Vamos Colombia, tu puedes. Congrat to Savio as well. It was time for Lampre to make an statement, same as other teams which just seem to be happy to sit on the bunch and the gruppeto all day long. Don't send riders into the breakaway. Are barely above the litmus test in terms of Pro-Tour UCI points needed. Some other teams come to mind, but now I'll have a Cuba*Libre...(B...chess' waiting)

 

[hfer07]

What an exciting stage- letting apart patriotism - I was not expecting such vibrant race to very finish line - & the thrill of the Maglia Rosa!!! damn- This weekend looks even promising!!!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

The race today was interesting.

Agreed. It's dissapointing that Farnese and BMC didn't do a thing.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Made it 33'-10"

Cav's little group just passed the 6km to go banner. This should be close.

and the time was?

Sorry, couldn't see and now the coverage has ended.

No. No it was not. Considering the course it's was absolutely dreadful.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

No it wasn't dreadful.
