2012 Giro d'Italia, May 23rd, stage 17: Falzes → Cortina D'Ampezzo, 186 Kms

[Ryo Hazuki]

Sprint is after the Duran.

Does Seeldraeyers qualify for the young rider competition?

clearly nobody is pacing if cav is dictating the rhytm and seeldratyers can't win u26

 

[wirral]

sprint coming up maybe?

In around 80 km. He must be doing the mountain slide, start a mountain at the front and finish at the back of the peloton.

In around 80 km. He must be doing the mountain slide, start a mountain at the front and finish OUT the back of the peloton.

Fixed, for Cav.

Love him but he really isn't good at these climbs.

 

[kanari]

Fun fact: this is the second time in five days we get a stage finish in a winter olympic city, the tour of Norway had a finsh on Saturday in Lillehammer.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Its not in cavs interest to go real slow in the start, way too big risk to finish under the time limit, no? So better to set the pace he knows he can handle as long as possible if noone else complains.

Once there is blood in the water you'll all have what you want, and passo di giau will spill a little for sure.

Last year's stage with Passo Giau was one of the best stages I ever saw at least.

 

[Sophistic]

fear that this stage is gonna disappoint, atleast i can play the minimoog on the google startpage if its gets boring

 

[hatcher]

The bus is looking big already.

 

[UpTheRoad]

Some hoped for rain. It could change, but it looks as though those who want rain are going to be disappointed. Seems like a great day in Northern Italy today. Great day for a bike race for sure.

[vcampbell]

[DJ Sprtsch]

The carrots!

 

[TomasC]

Sweet, thanks Euskaltel. Go on

 

[FellOff]

Cav is a legend...he is always ready to suffer for his teammates . why are sky doing the chasing?

He reaches parts other sprinters cannot reach

 

[UpTheRoad]

The carrots are going to destroy the field early. NICE!!!!!

 

[mcassidy3]

So theres already a bus and Cav has managed to stay with peleton so far

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yay Euskaltel

 

[vcampbell]

These attacks will destroy the peloton. I like it

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Ha ha, looks like the Liquigas rider was complaining 'what are you up to? it's against the rules, liquigas rules'

 

[Eshnar]

Savoldelli said that he heard Euskaltel is going to make the race hard for Nieve

 

[veganrob]

Yeah, we need some fireworks. Liven up this race

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Tarmac not really great.
