2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 10 : Cordenons - Altopiano Del Montasio 167 km

[webvan]

First mountain stage ! Let it rip guys !

 

[Ferminal]

Sprint for 3rd, Scarponi.

Looks like a nice climb though.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Pozzovivo!

 

[Panda Claws]

Scarponi ftw.

Evans to take a few boni seconds on Nibali.

 

[webvan]

Ah yes, Pozzo should do well there, he's in a good shape too! Wonder how he will cope with the two successive climbs though, last year it seems he faded with repetitive climbs...

 

[webvan]

Wonder if Sky will try a bluff and get the train rolling...seems like a good time to do it to get over that poor first week.

 

[goggalor]

Here we go. Tipping Santa ftw.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Sky will get the train moving, but Scarponi will take the win easily in the end.

A couple of GC contenders will wave goodbye and focus on something else.

 

[trevim]

Looking forward to the performance of Evans and Gesink.

 

[cineteq]

Santa Claus is coming to town.

 

[maltiv]

1. Santambrogio
2. Nibali (s.t)
3. Betancur (+30s)

 

[il_cobra]

it's will be ridiculous if sky trains again for wiggo on climb with 20% ramps.

henao must atack and crush that amators

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

weird poll, Hesjedal in there but not RG?

 

[all_in]

One of Scarponi,Samy or Hesjedal with an attack on the middle of the last climb.

 

[SafeBet]

Just watched cassani's preview of this stage. The climb to Cason di lanza is stunning, a thing of beauty. You'll see.

And there are some steep walls in the second part of that climb. If they want to attack astana they can start from there for sure.

 

[Miburo]

weird poll, Hesjedal in there but not RG?

Gesink will prob do better than hesjedal.

But if i had to chose for gesink winning or hesjedal i'll prob take hesjedal.

But ok gesink should have been in this poll.

 

[Panda Claws]

If Hesjedal goes in a breakaway and wins, then what?

 

[the asian]

Hope it's the "Santa Claus" vs "Permanent Head Damage" show.

50k from the finish. Looks like 20km of easier terrain between climbs from the profile.

But ok, Astana seemed a bit weak today.

Ryder won't be let in a breakaway. He'll have to attack.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Ah yes, Pozzo should do well there, he's in a good shape too! Wonder how he will cope with the two successive climbs though, last year it seems he faded with repetitive climbs...

Last year he peaked for Trentino, this year he peaked for the Giro (although his preparation is not optimal with the crash in Trentino).

Rujano isn't riding

 

[taiwan]

Set piece w/Rabottini and Santa

 

[webvan]

Sky doing well so far, 9 votes out of 24 ;-)
