2012 Giro d'Italia; May 14th; Stage 9: San Giorgio nel Sannio - Frosinone (166km)

[cineteq]

Epic Goss fail.

No kidding, this is how you fall

 

[nvpacchi]

Ventoso totally looks like Michael Richards

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

30 RUJANO GUILLEN Jose 'VEN AND 3:39:15 0:00

this is typically a stage where normally he'd lose minutes

 

[DominicDecoco]

Race radios would definitely have made that finish safer for the riders.

Oh, wait...

Are we going to see another Ryo-mocking bit from you?

 

[Bala Verde]

The run in to the finish could be tricky. I think there is a 90 degree left hander at 300-500m before the finish (?).

Good call.

 

[Pippo_San]

It looks like Pozzato crashed into Goss...

Anyway Greenedge approached that corner in the worst possible way...

 

[nvpacchi]

Good call.

patting yourself on the back like The Hog

 

[Zam_Olyas]

On the day Ryo is to return, the world champion crash again.

incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _O_

 

[burning]

Goss caused that crash as he knew Cavendish will beat him so he will retain his red jersey easily

 

[Delicato]

They showed the overall classification and there wasn't any sign of Kreuziger at top-15. Has he crashed or sth?

 

[Caruut]

It looks like Pozzato crashed into Goss...

Anyway Greenedge approached that corner in the worst possible way...

Also looks like Goss takes it really slowly.

Yep, but i saw Goss going into the curve with a really weird line. Completely different than Kristoff who was beside him.

Anyone know what happened to Kreuziger? He's not on the GC list.

Edit: He's back on it now.

 

[jsem94]

Rujano's probably going to lose the Giro in pink crashing like Menchov in the last TT. Ryo's epic reaction to follow that.

 

[shalgo]

They are now showing him as 60th on the stage with the same time as the winner on the official site, so he should still be in the same place overall.

Probably will result in a perma ban if that happens, lol

LOL.

He must be feeling very good. Based on this it is safe to say that he is going to destroy everyone in the mountains next week.

 

[hrotha]

Damn, I arrived in time to watch the last second of the stage (literally). Completely mistimed it.

But I see the front of the bunch was full of pure sprinters until they crashed.

Figure Goss/GE knew the corner, perhaps Goss was taking a defensive line and Pozatto just could not brake, hard to tell no overhead shot

 

[DominicDecoco]

Hopefully, yeah.

 

[dlwssonic]

its so boring I fell asleep and woke up at the sprint.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

You missed the good bit then.

There was an overhead shot but a tree was in the way.

Missed a decent stage for a sprint stage. Tons of attacks went off the front in the last few KMs including JRod.
