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

[Frosty]

Well Cav's deserved his easy day in the sun having taken some wins

 

[maltiv]

It's so annoying when we have 5 flat stages in a row and then when there finally are hills, the peloton are riding them at 5 km/h...

 

[Fetisoff]

OK, you can stop showing Navardauskas all the time, we get it he's cooked

 

[hfer07]

just tuned in- damn- there is a lot of damage done by those sharp hills- Rubio looks good FTW

 

[Fetisoff]

OK, I can understand some teams not wanting to take charge, but what in the world are Farnese, among others, thinking?

 

[PedalCastro]

Cyclingnews ticker saying Farrar crashed out?

 

[TeoSheva]

45sec for Rubiano...

 

[Azabael]

Eurosport: champion of the worst planned breaks ever to be seen.

 

[Random Direction]

Is the peleton actually going to gift Rubiano three minutes in the GC? Seems a bit dangerous, no?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Really? Havent seen any mention of him.

the belgian commentators mentioned it multiple times (info from radiocorsa). Ofcourse the euro-anglosaxon cav lovers wouldn't say a word about this

I agree--when pretty much your only chance of doing anything at the Giro is to win stages like today's, I would expect more of an effort.

[insideout leadout]

Peloton doesn't care about la maglia rosa or the stage. Why even race?

Except they did.

He'll be cooked tomorrow and lose tons of time though

Starting to look like that invite was "as good" as NetApp

 

[PedalCastro]

Pozzatto attacking

 

[maltiv]

At least Pozzato has balls, too bad he doesn't have a team...

 

[CatsNK]

Tyler Farrar crashed out.

 

[TeoSheva]

he has already over 2minutes of delay...

 

[DominicDecoco]

Seemed pretty reckless by Pozzato.

Ask Garmin, they haven't been in front for one km today what I have seen. And yet they have Maglia Rosa to defend and Hesjedal in third.

When they are trying to force other teams to chase; well, bad attitudes spreads more quickly than good.

Actually it was shown and discussed on eurosport as he was dropped off the back at the start of Montelupone.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

According to british sources Farrar gives up after a fall. But no confirmation from Radio Corsa

 

[Fetisoff]

Well, someone's gotta do something. This was probably their best chance for a stage win

I didn't get it either. OK, they don't want Hesjedal in pink, but why not? If he's not in pink after tomorrow, he's in big trouble anyway, so at least one day in pink would be good

Think he was trying to get some urgancy into the situation
