Yes but he said If any of them are thinking of pulling out...

Ah ok sorry.

It's possible, but it might depend on other riders failing. Ten points gap to Evans and 20 to Viviani. If Viviani goes point hunting in the MTF stages he could take it, not sure Evans will get the rope to take many points, he's too high up on GC.


Also, Cav needs to finish...

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

If anyone's interested the break now has 13 minutes with 160 km to go.
Fast stage, 44,4 km/h average second hour.

 

[eljimberino]

How many minutes does the break need over the climb?

There's still forty km's to go once they go over the top....

They will need at least 5 mins?

Looking good for the break now.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Someone's doing some pulling, gap down to 10.35 now.
Going to be tough for the break - but let's see who's together in the bunch after the climb.

Tailwind? Otherwise break going too fast, unsustainable.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The break will almost certainly hold.

 

[manafana]

break not super strong and hard part is final 50km id fancy they might actually get caught.

 

[King Boonen]

already down to 9 minutes.

 

[will10]

Hmmm wonder who's chasing.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Mainly Greenedge, OPQS and Astana helping a little.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Now only 7 minutes, perfectly controllable.

 

[Ferminal]

A gap like that makes it very easy for a team like Cannondale to send 2 men to the front in the last 50km and finish it off.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Peloton split in 2

 

[Ferminal]

18 seconds.. weird. Someone must have got a sniff of wind, explains the gap coming down.

RAI still not on...

 

[eljimberino]

haha green edge boys goin mental

 

[will10]

Echelons. But I can't see anyone driving this for another 3hrs.

 

[King Boonen]

Either Goss feels well enough or he's dropping out tomorrow and this is his last chance.

I am going to have to learn Italian before next year's giro. The only stable streams seem to be the RAI ones.

[Broth3r]
