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

RAI must be live now.does anybody have a link for a stream?we must catch strade bianche

Not yet but the gazetta stream on http://videochat.gazzetta.it/index_Radiocorsa01.shtml?c=Ciclismo_Libero should work later.

To be fair he never wanted to be at the Giro anyway, I thought he'd go home early on.

Then fire him. BMC pays him money to race. Not wanting to go = work refusal.

Talking of tickers, i just found this on team sky's site

http://skysports.html.infostradaspo...D=0&LayoutCode=1073741843&Cache=4&Framesize=2

Lots of data there.

farnese chasing too...now the breakaway has under 6 minutes

Viva Liquigas and Farnese-Vini, finally some real racing this Giro.

If the bunch is reduced or possibly shattered before the last 50k; then it could be the stage of the year, so many sharp, short hills to work with - some GC-hopefuls will be caught out.

I think/hope Visconti will take it.

Then fire him. BMC pays him money to race. Not wanting to go = work refusal.

At the very least they could leave him out of the Tour team, but I very much doubt they have the balls to do so.

Hushovd --> fatass with too high paycheck. Take what he get's a month, give it him per year, seems better

 

[Pippo_San]

I'm quite sure Hushovd will be a different beast come July, the Tour and the Olympics...but honestly, what I find really irritating is the lack of respect for a GT like the Giro

 

[insideout leadout]

Gazzetta is on

[Eyeballs Out]

Maybe Hushovd has a bug - always a danger on a flight transfer. He looked in reasonable shape in the first two sprints

 

[Mellow Velo]

RAI ad break on the climb. Bummer.

 

[jens_attacks]

gazzetta not even showing the climb...pfff incredible

 

[insideout leadout]

Hmm...stage profile they showed at RAI looked a bit different.

Edit: The last one looks right though.

 

[Pippo_San]

Wonderful places today, love those country hills

For me it's a no brainer. He's an ex-sprinter in terrible form and he doesn't like helping anybody but himself. He's poison for the team atmosphere, unless he's the sole leader. When you have Evans for the overall and Gilbert for the stages, you don't need Hushovd. It's only worth it if his form is good, which it hasn't been so far.

Now, if he shows good form in Dauphiné/Suisse, I would reconsider.

 

[insideout leadout]

Weather is too nice

Thanks for that.

Definately. Italy is a beautiful country.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Now we are talking about the real il Giro.

 

[Not Riding Enough]

gotta love the dirt.

 

[Euskaltel!]

Rubiano destroyed that

 

[insideout leadout]

Yeah but roads looks in good condition.

 

[Pippo_San]

OUCHHHHH Pablo Lastras down

 

[DominicDecoco]

What was Lastras doing with his head ?

Leaky full gas!
