2012 Giro d'Italia; May 19th; Stage 14: Cherasco - Cervinia(205km)

[Vino attacks everyone]

movistar with Amador and Arroyo

 

[Highlander]

The peloton is taking the descent so slowly that even crack descenders like Basso and Schleck are having no problems in the rain.

 

[burning]

Arroyo was much more insane than Amador imo

 

[DominicDecoco]

Cunego is going way faster than Amador.

You sure about that? Liquigas curiously absent from the front of the peloton.

Cunego is going way faster than Amador.

But Amador looks awesome, and thats what count

If you cycle in Costa Rica, you have to be able to descend fast. Go Amador!

 

[Highlander]

They aren't on the front anymore, but I just got a glimpse of their kits in the middle of the field.

Cunego is going way faster than Amador.

Cunego is a good descender while Amador is just crazy.

So true. The key is to up the entertainment value with [lack of] style and panache. He gets the showman points for sure.

 

[Lexman]

Cunego is a good descender while Amador is just crazy.

they don't have the same goals : Cunego for the CG and Amador for the stage

 

[Lexman]

Cav's group (the bus) is on 21 minutes from the lead

 

[Random Direction]

did the main group split on the descent? Seems smaller now

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Time gaps seem to have vanished

Presume Rujano back in the peloton ?

 

[Christomir]

Looks like they won't be caught. So I guess Amador is the best climber in the leading group and the favorite for the stage win. Who's the 2nd favorite then?

 

[the asian]

Amador winning the stage would be great!

 

[spalco]

Any idea about time differences? Barta, Rujano, Cunego, Amador? I have no idea who's anywhere.

eta: aha, Amador seems to be leading.

 

[fluffkitten]

Amador winning the stage would be great!

After the entertainment of that descent he kind of deserves it.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Cunego has about a minute on the bunch. Where's Rujano gone? Has he fallen into a crack in the tarmac?

 

[Highlander]

Time gaps seem to have vanished

Presume Rujano back in the peloton ?

Based on how he looked downhill, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped him on the descent as well

 

[Random Direction]

Amazing that Rosseler is still with the peloton

 

[Fetisoff]

OK, did I just hear what I think I heard about Jens Voigt at the TOC?

 

[Highlander]

OK, did I just hear what I think I heard about Jens Voigt at the TOC?

If it was the story about him eating a bee during the race, Phil and Paul loved it and mentioned it a few times yesterday

 

[Parrulo]

dunno, what did you hear?

YEP. I guess I heard it right then
