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

[Broth3r]

Sorry Cav, but your red shirt is far, far from being the center of the world.

And hats off to the wheelchair climber. That was heroic.

 

[spalco]

Did that wheelchair rider seriously get up there that way? I could understand it with a handbike (would still be a big effort), but this is seriously impressive.

 

[maltiv]

Hilarious, Vini-fantini rider trying to outsprint Cav at the intermediate sprint.

Seems like they can't count. There's no way Santambrogio can take the points jersey anyway

 

[Parrulo]

Someone just reached the top on a wheelchair, so it would be very embarrassing if the riders couldn't do it

 

[Kazistuta]

When even a (strong!) wheel chair dude can climb up Tre Cime, what's wrong with 170 riders climbing up? Kudos !

And LOL@ the Weenie rider trying to mess up Cav's "sure thing" points

Rai commentators said last year he did the Stelvio. Impressive really

 

[RedheadDane]

Cool Wheelchair Dude just won the stage!

The vini fantini dude, Andriato, is leading the traguardo volante (intermediate sprint) classification

Indeed talk about taking abuse for trying to win his own competition! Poor Lad!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I am starting to like Cavendish. I still don't like sprint stage.

Oh ok, well that explains it. Makes no sense for Cav to be angry then.

 

[whittashau]

Cannontrain on the front.

 

[Carols]

Hehehe I still don't care for Cav and sprint stages are snoozers until the final 5km

Are we likely to get pictures while they are on the climb?

If some of us didn't realise perhaps Cav didn't either, although it doesn't take a lot for him to get angry anyway.

I'd have thought so long as the helicopters can get close enough to the finish to receive a signal from the motos, it'd be ok. They were grounded last saturday, today that's clearly not the case.

 

[SafeBet]

Temperature getting colder and colder.
It's -3 on top.

 

[ILovecycling]

Do we all THINK betancur will win? or WANT him to?

Not all of us,only 36%.,but still its huge percentage

I am starting to like Cavendish. I still don't like sprint stage.

Lol

Flat tire for Betancur, but he should be able to get back with ease before the climb.

Good news for Majka as he will be spending some extra energy to get back

 

[the asian]

What happened to Betancur? Mechanical? ( Ah, Just saw the post by SafeBet.)

Hope it doesn't effect him too much for the final climb.

 

[goggalor]

Cav looks funny riding on the front.

How much time did he lose exactly?

 

[roundabout]
