2012 Giro d'Italia, May 12th, Stage 7: Recanati - Rocca di Cambio 205km

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.

he did work indeed for Cataldo, Pauwels doin' well all the better for him after his 2 lost years at Sky

Who was the Lotto not finishing far of? De Clercq?

 

[Christian]

Damn Astana are just killing it this season! Also congrats to my main man Fränkie S.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hopefully it will be better than this first week.

Yup, even the stupidly backloaded 2008 Giro had a couple of uphill finishes in week 1 to let the GC status quo set itself. Here, nothing. Except the TTT, which is even worse than nothing in terms of setting up a GC status quo.

Is there another site besides Gazetta for results?

Not initially, they run the race

 

[Forunculo]

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!

Still some doubts about Frank. He lacks some stamina to be a great GC rider but his rivals aren't Contador, Cadel or his brother.


And if JRod is poor now may he peak at 3d week

Did I understand well? No bonus secs today?

No, there were bonus seconds today. Stage 14 is the first without them I think?

Did I understand well? No bonus secs today?

no, you failed.

 

[Pippo_San]

no, you failed.

Actually stupid Alessandra De Stefano failed!

 

[Random Direction]

I thought team sky fans, or someone similar had a live ticker?

Actually, I'm afraid he will fade in the third week

 

[WinterRider]

Ryder had a great day, looking forward to seeing how he progresses.

 

[Ferminal]

[airstream]

just think, Frank is only getting in shape! To be honest, I guess he's a bit surprised with the Giro speeds.

Guess how much he'll be surprised were everyone will attack at 50+ kms to go into the dolomites and he won't know what to do

Probably, Hesjedal has captured Maglia Rosa at least until the stage with Giau, what you think?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

C'mon Gazzetta, I've got things to do today...
