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

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Keizer to solo the last 30k?

 

[Kwibus]

No point really, the problem is that you could only get away with it once before the other teams wised up to it. It could definitely work though.

Definately! I'm amazed no team has ever tried this tactic while it could definately work though.

Keizer to solo the last 30k?

He'd need some Ibarguen's magic

 

[manafana]

pacing along hoping rain comes back which it should for run in, give us different winner.

 

[Jukebox]

Cav in second wheel, watch out for some tactical magic.

 

[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 (?).

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Cav in second wheel, watch out for some tactical magic.

Team Sky breakaway?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Well, they tried it but De Gendt was to wise to it.

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Well, they tried it but De Gendt was to wise to it.

Or it was an intermediate sprint. . .

 

[DominicDecoco]

I thought Cav would abandon in the third week..

 

[Kwibus]

Well, they tried it but De Gendt was to wise to it.

If De Gendt wasn't such a wise and intellectuel rider.... damn!

 

[fluffkitten]

Cav chasing points?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

If De Gendt wasn't such a smart and intellectuel rider.... damn!

It was never going to succeed with just Bernie to help him sadly.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hopefully tattoo does a late attack

**gatto damn ipad

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Or it was an intermediate sprint. . .

No mate, Cav isn't doing the third week.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Radio Corsa is wrong, not Brutt but definately De Gendt. Race commisaire fail

 

[norwegian]

Please.....stop the bullying.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Saxo shirt is still incredible.

 

[Kwibus]

Please.....stop the bullying.

Oh come on. I get the feeling he's bullying us and not vice versa or do you think he's serious?

I get the idea he's just fooling around. Trolling a bit... I mean this can't be true?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Garmin lining up for x-winds ?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Can anyone tell me why any team other than Sky would want to chase on a stage like this (or perhaps better a completely flat stage)?

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

No mate, Cav isn't doing the third week.

You're right, it's MUCH more likely that Eisel and Cav were attacking w/ 20k+ to try to win the stage.

 

[hatcher]

Can anyone tell me why any team other than Sky would want to chase on a stage like this (or perhaps better a completely flat stage)?

To show confidence in their sprinter.

Also you never know when your team might (or maybe did in the past) need assistance in a chase.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Saxo shirt is still incredible.

Oh yes. ...........

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Visconti gone.
