rujano indredible today!dancing up the mountain like a butterfly. not even his kind of mountain. way too easy. tahts why he lost time to that whining b*** kreuziger. hes gonna lose minutes tomorrow lol. wait and see. rujano just soft pedaled up and still almost dropped everyone. amazing!were gonna see him destroy everyone soon. i said it a million times already.

Very good Ryo. well done

 

[goggalor]

Rujano wasted some energy earlier on the climb for no reason

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Everyone else sat on and let the domestiques set a reasonable pace. Of course Rujano got the idea pretty quickly, but must've been spent in the end. Unless he got that corner wrong at 1500 to go.

Roche is right - looks like sheet when you can't see the sponsors name. Exciting finish - would have made for some great print content/newspaper cover

Nieve was 9th, not bad at all considering his injuries this year and that the climb doesn't suit him. Better watch out for him in the 3rd week, even if he has lost quite a bit already.

Maybe he woke up and realized that this is the moment to step out of the shadow his ( presumably more talented ) brother has cast over his achievements recently. Imagine Frank wins the Giro and Andy predictably fails in the Tour - we might be talking about "Brother of Frank" rather than "Brother of Andy".

Nice stage!

Fränk's been compiling a decent palmarès away from Andy for a while now, but I still remain unconvinced about him as a Grand Tour winner.

 

[meat puppet]

Good stage, afterall. Quite pleased with the GC battle, apart from Rujano. A shame. But Ryder was good enough and now in pink.

 

[hrotha]

Good to see the likes of Intxausti and Henao up there.

And haha, even Pauwels does well now.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Woohoo!!! Well done Paolo!!

 

[hfer07]

Uran 15th place in the GC -not bad at all

 

[norwegian]

I`m happy for Frank S. He might be the winner of the Giro this year. Would be great ws. Andy.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

So far I'm very impressed with lampre

No surprise that joining Pharma boosted his performance...

But wasn't he working on the front for Cataldo during the climb? If so, that makes his 14th place even more impressive.

 

[luckyboy]

<3 giro.

Should be a refreshing change from an otherwise mediocre season.

Hopefully it will be better than this first week.

 

[DominicDecoco]

So much for Boaro being a decent climber...

 

[goggalor]

Congrats to Ryder! Wonder how long he can keep it.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hopefully it will be better than this first week.

Has to be. The last week looks so great, I can't wait

 

[spalco]

He wasn't going to win.

Yeah. I noticed that about 5 seconds after writing that also but didn't bother editing my post; misread the situation at the time.

 

[Fetisoff]

All of the sudden Gazetta's taking forever to post the classification on their website

It's not just me refreshing it repeatedly then

 

[Fetisoff]

It's not just me refreshing it repeatedly then

Nope. But I'm also repeatedly going between the english and italian version as well

 

[Random Direction]

Is there another site besides Gazetta for results?

 

[Pippo_San]

Did I understand well? No bonus secs today?
