2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 12: Longarone → Treviso (134km)

[Eshnar]

Oh, you're referring to the sprint. Got it, thanks. I thought you were talking about Wiggins.

I'm talking about everyone. If Wiggins had 3'10'' at the 3 kms line he'll get that gap, and not the one at the finish.

 

[ILovecycling]

The organizers announced before the start that they would take all the gc times at the 3 km mark.

Good decision,this has to be apllied in all sprint stages in GT imo,less falls I hope

 

[hrotha]

Bouhanni is like cuhrazy.

 

[goggalor]

wow wiggins ducks another bad luck. Stage neutralize... wow.. just wow. He didn't end up loosing that much.

That would be bad luck. Wiggins needs to abandon tonight to save his season.

 

[Pulpstar]

wow wiggins ducks another bad luck. Stage neutralize... wow.. just wow. He didn't end up loosing that much.

Neutralized at 3 KM, obviously the additional 35 seconds he lost in the last 3km won't count as all were soft pedalling that due to the rules.

 

[Bumeington]

Hm, wasn't Viviani pushed out of the saddle a little bit? He seemed furious, didn't even try to sprint for points despite the fact that he needed them badly.

That was Modolo

 

[lemoogle]

Viviani and Bouhanni ruined each other's sprint, after that it was over.

 

[TeoSheva]

1.CAVENDISH Mark (Omega Pharma-Quick Step)
2.BOUHANNI Nacer (FDJ)
3.MEZGEK Luka (Argos-Shimano)

 

[movingtarget]

dunno yet. but he won't loose 3 minutes for sure

He was over 3 minutes down at 3 km to go and that's the time he loses.

 

[The Hitch]

Wow that crash was quite something. the one where all 4 guys fell off without touching eachother.

How many km to go did that happen?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Big loss for Wiggins.

Time to carry bottles for Uran.

If Wiggins drops back to the cars to fetch bottles he won't be able to get back to the peloton to hand them out. Silly idea.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'm talking about everyone. If Wiggins had 3'10'' at the 3 kms line he'll get that gap, and not the one at the finish.

I know. I thought you meant that Wiggins' gap would get neutralized entirely.

 

[Rajna31]

That was Modolo

Oh yeah, cannot always tell the difference between Bardiani and Cannondale green I feel sorry for him, he was in a great position in his hometown to finish on the podium despite having no leadout.

 

[webvan]

The organizers announced before the start that they would take all the gc times at the 3 km mark.

Thanks, what the heck...this is getting ridiculous !

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

If Wiggins drops back to the cars to fetch bottles he won't be able to get back to the peloton to hand them out. Silly idea.

What? The team will just come back to pace him back to the group. Then, he'll give them the bottles.

 

[Pulpstar]

If Wiggo lost time due to grandmother riding on the descent again, no reason he can't pull for Uran going UP the hills.

 

[theyoungest]

Wiggins will quit the race, it seems unavoidable. Mrs. Froome won't like it.

If Wiggo lost time due to grandmother riding on the descent again, no reason he can't pull for Uran going UP the hills.

He was suffering on the flat as well.

 

[movingtarget]

Early in the stage after the break go going.

 

[Eshnar]

Thanks, what the heck...this is getting ridiculous !

It was raining really hard and the final circuit was pretty dangerous. I reckon it was a wise decision.

 

[Jelantik]

If I were wiggins, i would go home tonight. Rest, get some hot coco and soup, be ready for the TDF. People always say that to win GT not only you gotta have a good form but good luck on your side too. His luck seemed to have been denied by the mother nature and mother luck all week long. Compare to last year, he was coasting free from bad luck. Time for Uran to shine everyone?

 

[the asian]

Good to see Ferrari back in some kind of form 7th isn't too bad.
Modolo a bit unlucky again.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Yeah, can someone enlighten those who came in late ?

what do you think happened? I give you two words: wiggins and rain

 

[Pulpstar]

It was raining really hard and the final circuit was pretty dangerous. I reckon it was a wise decision.

The GC positions at 3 km and 0 km were pretty much identical anyway.

 

[Panda Claws]

Steegmans finally being able to do lead-outs again.

 

[whittashau]

He is clearly sick I would go home why stay here, be a champ bla bla bla he cant follow wheels on the flat today

OR he's so terrible in the rain and therefore loses so much time in the corner which forces him to have to constantly accelerate out of each and every corner which burnt him out.
