2013 Giro d'Italia, stage 16: Valloire - Ivrea (238 km)

[Geraint Too Fast]

One win wasn't enough, plus Intxausti was the GC leader. Where have you been mate?

You forgot about Dowsett?

 

[spalco]

Booooooooooooooo

Yeah, I was annoyed when I saw it too. Apparently he does care about the points jersey at least a little bit. Didn't take him much effort anyway in the end to get to the front of that group.

 

[cineteq]

Evans was 5th.

2 stages wins without Benat results. Seems very good too mate..

 

[MrTea1976]

Three for Movistar actually. Dowsett in the TT.

 

[Carols]

Poor Gesink.....Yikes ViniF totally Blew it

 

[cineteq]

Dowsett says hi to you

Thanks for supporting my statement, say hi back from me

 

[burning]

Santa down to 6th in the GC

 

[Eshnar]

Told ya guys... months ago

This is perhaps the most underrated stage of the Giro.

 

[lemoogle]

I'm not sure why but I was dreading the possibility of Tangaert winning.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Cadel 6 points away from the Red Jersey.

Is this a new trend? Max, where are you?

 

[Alpechraxler]

Why Gesink stops pedalling ? There are paraolympics doing whole races with one leg.

yes, but with their chains ON the rings, not OFF

5th isn't too bad I suppose.

Leaves Cav 7 points ahead with 3 stages Evans is likely to score on, 1 for Cav, and 1 wildcard.

Cav really does need to get something from tomorrow - either a great stage win, or get the break pulled back for intermediates if he really can't.

Taking an optimistic view of the 2nd option, he could get 35 more points, so a 42 point gap for Cadel to go for. A lot will rest on the TT - need Cadel off the podium and it starts to look pretty good.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

These types of hilly stages FTW.

Damn good racing.

Great weather too and solid camera work in HD helps.

 

[brilleaben]

Santam loses 2:23.
What happened to him anyways?

Just his normal level.

Cav should go in the break.

Nibbles saying they let kangert ride so he could steal bonus seconds from Evans and others. Well played.

 

[Eshnar]

When we get the MTFs out of this sport it'll be too late already.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Rest day malaise..

 

[Gloin22]

Just create a GT with 21 stages of medium mountains. Now that will provide excitement

 

[taiwan]

Why was he on his own for so long though?

 

[hrotha]

Rest day malaise..

Got the wrong bag in his tea.

 

[SafeBet]

Why was he on his own for so long though?

KIller and rabottini were in the break. The others are just not good enough for such a climb.
