2013 Giro d'Italia, Stage 20: Silandro Schlanders-Tre Cime Di Lavaredo (210 km)

[whittashau]

Just turned the stream on. What are the carrots doing? Keeping warm by working harder than they need to?

 

[whittashau]

I assume we won't be getting any pictures of the final climb.

oh ****, I didn't think about that.

 

[vcampbell]

Snow slide

 

[Broth3r]

Avalanche!

Not sure. I thought Omega would be the team chasing.

that's a good bet yeah
I don't see such heavy snowing on top though.

I hope this breakaway wont stay away.Fight for the stage should be much more interesting with plenty of good climbers!

There will be fights anyway. White Jersey and the battle for the podium.

No helicopters but maybe they can set up some local relays...

 

[Climbing]

Luckily weather is getting better.

 

[SafeBet]

Weather is not bad at all on tre cime at the moment. Even some sun in sight.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

If Majka stays glued to Betancur's wheel all the way to the top and then nips out for the win or bonus seconds is he a wheelsucker or merely defending his jersey ?

Both. But I hope he won't.

Both but too much gets made of the whole 'wheelsucking', sometimes its just tactical sense, it'll be up to Betancur to shake him, Majka's done his work by being infront at this point.

Amazing change! Probably still as cold though...

I sense a big fight, could be some bug changes...

There is different kinds of wheelsucking indeed. Someone like Valverde that knows he will win the sprint has no reason to attack (and people should respect that), but guys like Leipheimer just following wheels without any aspirations to take time anywhere (except on the last tt or something) is very boring and annoying

 

[the asian]

Just tuned in. Who are the riders in the break?

 

[Carols]

Just joining...Samu FTW

 

[manafana]

the big man with the carbon mouldy shows is hansen, could spot him a mile away. Break might not even make it to final climb anyway. Lots and lots of carrots chasing .

 

[SafeBet]

Just tuned in. Who are the riders in the break?

Brutt, Ermeti, Hansen, Popovych.

 

[Red Rick]

How many points are there left for Cav?

 

[SafeBet]

Now snowing again on the finish.

 

[Descender]

Quigley just said it's "unlikely that the weather conditions will prevent the riders from racing to the finish today".

Which means they probably won't get to the finish.

 

[roundabout]

STFU Cavendish

Very nice pictures from the top
