2012 Giro d'Italia Stage 18, San Vito de Cadore - Vedelago, 24th May, 149km

Understatement of the year!

Indeed. Stannard is a complete monster of a rider. Stannard spent more time leading the peleton than any other so far This Giro.

well compared to the fact that he won a lot before the offence (in the junior rankings? I suck at remembering reults).

Hunt has done a lot on the front too, would be quite close between them!

I guess we will find out soon if Sky will get any help in chasing the break down or its going to be left to them alone.

 

[Frosty]

Stage has been going 2.5 hours i think. Going to be very close to 3 hours for the 150km

EDIT: Or 139km, thread title is wrong.

I was disapponted Sky took Hunt over Russ Downing for this year (not that its an exact choice between em, but its hard not to make an either/or).

Hunt certainly worked hard until he dropped out, and one can hardly fault his reason for dropping out either. So he did make a strong case for why they went with him.

Somebody tweet Harmon to explain how there are 2 different competitions, at least, using the intermediate sprints and he should know that.

Corrected himself on the sly with no reference to his previous statements. Sounded contrite though.

Scarponi with flat tire. No team car around?

 

[Ney the Viking]

Scarponi mechanical, entire lampre waiting for him.

Trouble for Scarponi....

 

[will10]

FDJ car crashes into Lampre car

 

[Gloin22]

Impressed by Sky that they kept it very nicely today and get intermediate points and it looks like a possible win too.

 

[Ney the Viking]

So someone crashes cav, or it's yet another win?

 

[Ney the Viking]

Bak That guy is just insane this giro. Fantastic.

 

[therhodeo]

I'm going to guess by the number of posts in here that the stage is too entertaining to stop and post about.

 

[Christomir]

Avg speed is over 50km/h, best stage ever?

Are they still on pace for that?

??????????

 

[burning]

They are around 49km/hour right now i guess

FWIW I just went by the Giro website. Where does 139 come from?

 

[Fetisoff]

??????????

It was about 48.8 something, I believe, last time I've seen it, which was quite few kms ago. Might actually be 50 at the end
