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

[JesusManzano]

woho, made a bet on Rubiano to end top 3 on this stage yesterday

 

[GazelleFormula]

Dyachenko or Lastras FTW in this group.

 

[dlwssonic]

Would garmin be willing to let this break go??

 

[DenisMenchov]

No Lotto???

 

[GazelleFormula]

I would love to hear the Vacansoleil DS screaming now.

 

[PedalCastro]

wonder who will chase this.
right now is vacansoleil because they failed big time to put a man here.

Vacansoleil not in a breakaway?! Usually they love the pointless breakaways!

Hmmm Lastras or Rubiano ftw imo.

Yes, but this certainly isn't a pointless break on this course and since it's 18 guys.
Maybe that's the reason they ain't in the break... it's not pointless.

Allthough I wonder if all De Gendt wins also came from pointless breaks Mr. Pedal Castro?

 

[Oltean_RO]

Alfredo Balloni is going for the montain jersey?

 

[Frosty]

I make Smukulis as the best placed on GC at 45 seconds with Malori on 49 seconds.

No, no, I realise this certainly isnt a pointless breakaway!

Don't get me wrong, Vacon are one of my favorite teams- They are in a lot of pointless breakaways though to be fair. As well as many where, as you have mentioned they get a win, Mr Kwibus

 

[theyoungest]

Vacansoleil have a new policy of not going in pointless breaks anymore. Now they just stay anonymous altogether.

 

[Leonardus]

I Don't think this is a very pointless break. It's a large group and some of them might have a good chance of staying clear from the peloton today. Strange Vacance and Lotto both missed the break today. Good day for Lastras?

 

[Kwibus]

No, no, I realise this certainly isnt a pointless breakaway!

I know what your saying. Vacansoleil is a true breakaway team, allthough they did say they wanted to be less of a breakaway team this year and try to get more big results. Besides Westra no other rider on the team actually managed to get a result this way.

Imo they should stick to being an attacker team, besides riders like Westra and Poels. They can stay with the best when they are good.

I agree with you that most breaks are pointless indeed

 

[Frosty]

Edit: Luke Roberts is actually best placed.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

They gained over 8 minutes now, at the 50km point.
Some of the teams in the peloton have to do something soon. All are waiting for Barracuda to react?

I predict Liquigas will start to chase when the roads become really hard.
None in the break and they learned from L'Aquila.

Only 15 names on the ticker. And Garmin have Bauer there.

Nobody is really threatening for GC in this break. They can give them 15 minutes easily.
