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

BS, this is a race not an english tea party

I didn't said it was wrong, just that it wasn't very nice.
Anyway, Majka is a crazy. Attacking from this far out on this climb; I hope he keeps the jersey.

 

[Red Rick]

Majka has killer instinct

Contador obviously taught him everything about the chaingate accident

 

[Afrank]

I almost feel like pozzovivo should be taking care of carlos

Don't be silly, he's got to preserve that 11th place!

Oh AG2R.

 

[UpTheRoad]

Not very nice tactics from Saxo Bank by the way. Nevertheless they can always say Majka wants the win; they've done the same on Galibier.

Not sure I fully agree. Betancur got back on after his mechanical, so Saxo did the gentlemanly thing by not pushing while he was off he back. He dropped back again to switch bikes, so they are OK to push at that time (like when Contador changes bikes at the base of a climb).

The bike change might still be considered part of the mechanical issue, but he chased back already.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Majka has killer instinct

He learned from Alberto

Zzz. Group ride til 4 to go now

Let's let 2010 stay in 2010.

EDIT: Love seeing Betancur ride up to Majka like that. I hope they both stay healthy over the coming months and years. Could be a great rivalry...

Yeah probably, at least we got some early action.

 

[luckyboy]

Pozzovivo could get top 10 with Santambrogio dropped already

 

[lemoogle]

who's there for Astana, Nibs, tangert and agnoli +?

 

[ILovecycling]

Betancur near the front,but still it would be a miracle if he beats Majka.

 

[Hugo87]

who's there for Astana, Nibs, tangert and agnoli +?

Fabio Aru maybe.

 

[whittashau]

I wonder what we would say if it was sky

Well, if it were Sky they would have all done well in the MTT and then drilled it all day and then still having a bunch of guys at the front. In this case I think it's just Astana having fresh men after taking it easy in the MTT, having a day off, and all the other teams working today.

 

[Afrank]

Pozzovivo could get top 10 with Santambrogio dropped already

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
but still, white and 6th overall would be better.

If he does you'll be changing your signature !

 

[roundabout]

Brambilla lives. Yeah

 

[SafeBet]

Kangert and aru most likely the two with nibbles.

 

[lemoogle]

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
but still, white and 6th overall would be better.

Don't they get massive money for the white jersey?

I remember Europcar saying that Rolland's white jersey at the TDF 2011 funded most of their 2012 season.

Edit: I think tommy V's 10 days in yellow brought in quite a bit of cash too.

I think the prize money for the secondary jerseys at the tour is something like 25 000 €.

[roundabout]

Capecchi is alive as well

 

[Le Baroudeur]

Betancur equipment s***s big time!!!

And Saxo riding,I dont like itwtf

They held position until he bridged back... And because we all remember Carlos waiting when Rafal had his mechanical...

 

[Alpechraxler]

looking forward to 7 km to go.

 

[the asian]

What happened to atapuma?

Attacks again !

the Tour prizes are nothing... for such big event as Tour they are laughable really comapred to football or tennis or golf.

It's the publicity they get from having yellow or white that gets them the money, not the tour prizes.

He's gonna save the Giro for Movistar. Vai Eros!
