2012 Giro d'Italia; Stage 15: Busto Arsizio - Lecco/Pian dei Resinelli (169km)

Last year's Giro was worlds better than this garbage.

 

[Gloin22]

It's also why there shouldn't be an ITT at the penultimate stages

Excatly. TT's should be early in the race rather than late to make those who lost attack more and make racing itnresting.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

This is ridiculous again. This is supposed to be the Giro for crying out loud

 

[Ney the Viking]

But are Basso, Rodruigez and Scarponi really thinking they can take enough time out of Hesjedal and Roman on ONE mountain stage to make up for the TT? Cos this is a snoozefest

 

[Mellow Velo]

This is.............disappointing.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

oh sooo boring, hope szmyd falls off the bike in one of the next stages...

 

[maltiv]

It would be good to see a Hesjedal attack again, and finish with a time difference on the others.

Hesjedal doesn't have to attack. He'll win the Giro as long as he's within a minute of everyone else on the last TT. At the moment he has a minute on most of the GC contenders already so he's far ahead of schedule.

If this defensive riding continues, Hesjedal will certainly win the giro easily.

 

[Trofinios]

F**king boring.

the thing is, they can the stelvio stage alone is most likely enough for that. it's not like they are some sort of cancellaras

 

[Frosty]

1 minute lead for our leader. 2 and a bit k left

 

[superconfex]

Sorry.... but i've watched better Tours of Britain that this Giro

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This makes me cry....

 

[CasperVg]

I'm a fan of him, but really Basso must be the most boring climber ever

Absolutely, without a doubt

 

[meat puppet]

Ridiculous as it may appear, everyone fears Basso and basically waits for him to make a move. Cant see round it.

 

[Fetisoff]

Szmyd done - action now?

 

[SafeBet]

Szmyd gone.
Robobasso in action.

 

[Pippo_San]

Lol it's funny though to always see this train going up the mountain

 

[dgodave]

Excatly. TT's should be early in the race rather than late to make those who lost attack more and make racing itnresting.

Even a late TT would give an incentive for pure climbers to attack, to bank time against the bigger men..... right?

I know, but it would be fun to see the defenders face

Basso is incapable of making a move, he got zero acceleration.

 

[Ramira]

At least Basso is isolated now, I love Szmyd but he doesn't exactly make racing interesting

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

it will be the same BS at the Tdf.... please come back contador

 

[Libertine Seguros]

The first hour or two of coverage was really good. Now it's just appalling me.

 

[issoisso]

Basso working for Basso now. I wonder when Basso will attack.

"Basso to make a move". Are they insane? Does Basso ever make a move? LOL
