2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 14: Cervere - Bardonecchia 168KM

[postmanhat]

2nd best. I can't remember which stage it was, but IMO it was the one in 2011 where he pulled the group alone for the entire climb, chasing Andy, and dropping Contador and most of the group on his own.

That was brilliant. Looks like he's approaching that sort of form, which is makes it even worse the Galibier has been cut

Don't be ****ing dramatic, there has to be a way.

Don't be so ignorant and read what people have written and explained as to why we won't get any pictures.

Don't be so ignorant.

Was about to post the same.

Don't be ****ing dramatic, there has to be a way.

If it's unsafe to fly and there has to be a helicopter in the air to recieve pictures then what other way is there?

Answers on a postcard...

Really?

Now rumors are flying that the entire stage tomorrow could be cancelled at Giro #staytuned

 

[Escarabajo]

They said that they are in the middle of the ascent.

On the easy gradient it looks like. So the hard part is still to come. Sky setting the tempo.

This is horrible and pathetic.

 

[SafeBet]

Trentin was dropped from the break.
Gap going down fast.


Rumor is tomorrow stage could be casncelled.

 

[argyllflyer]

Rumours of stage 15 cancellation!

 

[Leadbelly]

Rest day tomorrow and run the stage on Monday instead?

 

[benpounder]

sigh. bad weather again in Italy.

Snow in the mountains in May?
Who would have thought it... well aside from anyone who lives in the mountains.

Looks like global warming has changed the weather pattern.

In stunning news, weather readers are predicting periods of global warming to be followed by periods of global cooling. In other stunning news, politicians are crooks and athletes cheat.

/sarcasm

Todays finish looks like it will work - it will be interesting what tomorrow's replacement route will look like

The weather doesn't care what century it is

Maybe they could have a rest day tomorrow and then try to race the stage on Monday...
But I don't know if thing would get better soon enough

 

[DirtyWorks]

there has to be a way.

Not really. The helicopter is the essential link in the chain. If the finish images are similar to what's happening at the race, then it's easy to see why they wouldn't allow it up.

I'll be very interested to see what the outcome of this stage is. One of my crackpot theories is the DS relies on the broadcast feed to coordinate the riders over their earpieces. I'm hoping the finish order gets turned upside down, like the stormy 'white roads' stage some years ago.

 

[Ferminal]

Why? The stage with just Telegraphe is meaningless.

Rest day tomorrow, Monday have a brutal stage with double Finestre-Sestriere loop.

 

[cineteq]

17.1km to go, gap 5'12" at last time check.

 

[luckyboy]

Very well planned parcours this Giro

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

At least Stef Clement fanclub gets plenty of airtime

 

[lemoogle]

Just tuned in, what exactly is going on?

 

[Eshnar]

how many times did we wonder about the plan B for the high mountains.
Turns out there is no plan B at all.

 

[Panda Claws]

I wonder how Francis De Greef will handle the weather.
