This is proper racing. Finally. Great job, Cappechi.

 

[Pharazon]

Uran's struggling i think

 

[Parrulo]

Wasn't that his excuse at Trentino?

yes, he should know better by now as despite being young he already has ton of experience.

is that an entire bald french team being dropped?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Dropping like flies now.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Movistar at this year's Giro = Radioshack two years ago at the TDF. Lots of riders in top 20 = winning team classification.

That's been Movistar at any race Valverde's not been at in the last two and a half years - lots of strong riders who can make a difference, win stages, get good placements, but few proven race winners.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

De Gendt gone as well. Capecchi gone, Basso alone. Tiralongo out the back and Gadret strugling - amazing!

 

[vcampbell]

That was caruso

When Szymed stopped it clearly wasn't a crack, it looked like a mechanical too.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Some real damage here

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Is Tira in trouble?

Sad day...

 

[c&cfan]

pozzo is almost sleeping...

 

[Parrulo]

domenico to phd on dishing out some pain in 3. . . 2. . .1

 

[sulgpallur]

Dropping like flies

 

[PedalCastro]

Gadret going

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Looks like the 2012 Giro is underway.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Basso now!!! Here we go

 

[vcampbell]

Bad day for Astana is bad.

 

[superconfex]

Team GAD!!! GONE

 

[glassmoon]

looks like kreuziger hasn't been eating enough - that's a terrible mistake and will cost him minutes and minutes

 

[Kazistuta]

Great race today!!!

 

[will10]

Carnage

 

[goggalor]

25 km and everyone's isolated but the Colombians. This should be good.

 

[Pharazon]

8 in the peloton now

 

[the asian]

Tirolongo, gadret in trouble.

 

[Fetisoff]

Wow, Ryder's still there? Unbelievable riding by him

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ivan Basso time!
