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

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Bad tactics by Astana today, did they inherit the Vini Fantini virus? Needless riding in front of the peloton when third tier riders like Machado are in the break. Let other teams work for their stage wins.

I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must have been trying to disrupt the peloton.

they will do that next stage, first MTF it is always good to be on the cautious side.

Scarponi going for a pathetic annonymous top 5 again?

What stage have you been watching? they didn't do anything.

They were on the front from the start until Sky took over and on the descent.

Softpedalling, yes.

Moving Uran up to 3rd overall must feel a bit hollow after f*cking his GC calling him back last week.

It was a very nice ride by Uran today and I am happy for him, but let's not kid ourself: if he hadn't lost time in Pescara he most likely wouldn't have been allowed to get away the way he did.

 

[staubsauger]

Scarponi going for a pathetic annonymous top 5 again?

Did he ever do anything else, except his one campaign with Savio?

Oh and of course that time when it didn't matter if you were 2nd or 11th, but yeah he "won" that edition.

I bet I watched the same network as you avec Jose de Cauwer.

Nevertheless, spilling energy at the front of the peloton, just send a domestique with the breakaway. Let others do some work.

By the way, is Aru sick? Missed that.

 

[brilleaben]

It's the responsibility of having the maglia rosa. And with Aru sick, it would be a risk to isolate Nibali further by sending one of the members of the blue man group in the break. I think he/they will ride as conservative as possible at the moment.

They were just cruising on a low pace, the break had like 8 min until Sky took over, so I'd hardly call that spilling energy.

and yes, stomach problems apparently.

 

[cineteq]

By the way, does anyone know what's wrong with Henao by now? Surely he must have a cold or something? Or just a bad day?

Unfortunately Sky's policy seems to be to never reveal it when their riders are sick or injured until they are healthy again...

Ryo or anybody's heard anything about what happened to Henao today? He surely seemed to be the fittest Skyborg of all.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

No, it is not. Actually, give those third and fourth tier riders half an hour. Make sprinters teams work so their sprinter wil not finish Out Of Time.

Or Colombia Coldesportes when I take a good look at the race result

192 Mattia Gavazzi (Ita) Androni Giocattoli 0:30:43
193 Edwin Alcibiades Avila Vanegas (Col) Colombia

Cycling is so backwards tactically.

It is not like Astana have a dream team at hand, so dont overwork. Every K you spend in front of the peloton is 200 metres uphill you cant help your team captain.

 

[hfer07]

Uran is his friend and fellow "countryman" (antioquia, not colombia in this) lol, nice for ag2r to hear

pleeeeaaassseeee Ryo- don't seek to break apart my country with that sectarian pride BS .

 

[FellOff]

at first it was the usual - yeah i feel strong, hard climb ... but then he got a question and his answer went like this

eeeeehhhh, well, ooooooh, ummmmmm, ooooooooo,, iiiiii, oooooo, before he finally answered it. Could not decide which sylable to start with so just went through all the vowels in the alphabet.

I can imagine the bmc team listening to that and just doing 1 big massive facepalm

Those are, literally, the vowels of the strine effabut.

little nice view of a long day in the mountains

Seem to have been a lot of "mechanicals" in the race so far. The leader being overtaken while his saddle was being raised was pretty funny.

 

[jamesmasters]

I said Evans was going to be strong but Nibali never really looked in trouble and it's difficult to see where Cadel is going to get those 40 secs back from...

let's hope Cadel form is on the rise, while Nibali could be tired during last week.
I know, It's just a hope

I tried to find it really hard,but there isnt anything about him.Its strange,we probably have to wait few days and Sky will tell us

Nibali ist pretty much the most consistent rider there is in the peloton in a GT. The question is weather Evans might have a day or two in which he is stronger than Nibali. Right now he still doesn't need much to overtake him. He does have the better sprint and he could just take it on bonus seconds. There are a lot mountains to come anyway and considering this there could aso still be a major shift in power. Plus Astana doesn't look strong at all.

 

[hrotha]

As much as I love Nibbles... no, he isn't the most consistent GT rider out there. He's got a lot better at limiting his losses on bad days, but he still has them.

He is one of them, I rank him top three in that category

Neither is Cadel.
