bartoli's thinking di luca has no form.talking shiit i hope

Hasn't he only raced 1 day this year before T-A started? Based on only that, I'd think he wouldn't have form either...

 

[BillytheKid]

Too bad on the change. It should still offer a defining finish.
Maybe better for Horner if he has some form. He can afford a little time given the TTT advantage.

Already looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[insideout leadout]

No he's right. Di Luca has been **** ever since his comeback. I expect nothing of him

Di Luca finished 5th 6s behind Scarponi last year at this stage.

 

[BillytheKid]

Tired looking break on that climb.

 

[BillytheKid]

Expect it to go!

 

[jens_attacks]

we'll talk after the stage when di luca is on the podium

brutt as always kicking hard in the break

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him do something, I'm just skeptical...

OPQS working for... noted long classics specialist Peter Velits?

omega again, i already can see velits flying up that wall

 

[BillytheKid]

Not this time....

velits or whatever rider in that team


il killeeeer!!!!!!!he will smash it today!

I think Velits would be better served following someone like Evans and then sprinting hard once it flattens out.

Most teams of the top GC guys seem to be showing themselves, looks like a lot of them will be contesting the finish.

bartoli, il Leoncino delle fiandre

 

[BillytheKid]

I am annoyed at the camera work. How hard is it to pan left and right to see who's up front. Did glimpse Horner others???

 

[insideout leadout]

I hope Gilbert can do something to show he's ready for MSR. But I doubt it.

 

[Trofinios]

I hope Gilbert can do something to show he's ready for MSR. But I doubt it.

He was 10th last year on the Chieti stage. Top 15 should be a good result for Gilbert at this point.

 

[ferryman]

He he the Lampre boys taking some wind.

chris horner the bald ftw

 

[insideout leadout]

Pavel Brut

Better than a fuzz head. Horner for the GC today, but not the stage.

D#$% gotta go to work today.

Cheers.

Brutt, what a warrior.
I'd be expecting Ignatyev to do one of these

 

[auscyclefan94]

Do you guys think that sometimes the virtual time is just guessed by the race organisers as it seems to fluctuate largely based on how the rider looks and not on actual time?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Really splitting up now!

 

[Fetisoff]

Do you guys think that sometimes the virtual time is just guessed by the race organisers as it seems to fluctuate largely based on how the rider looks and not on actual time?

Yeah, seemed like they weren't gaining time on the uphill, and gained like 20 on the downhill already.
Brutt isn't THAT bad of a descender
