2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 7: San Salvo - Pescara 177km

[shalgo]

The Rai live stream was available in the U.S. for the first six stages, but is apparently georestricted today.

Correct that: one Rai stream is blocked here, but another one that just started is not.

It's a real shame Il Piccolo Principe isn't doing the Giro, it could have already been his third stage victory this week

Yea right...

that cunego is already gone for a few years.

 

[Opalius]

Paolini will get dropped on a stage like this especially when Vini are riding a hard tempo.

Doubt it. We are in his favorite terrain; just fewer kms.

Nice to see Cataldo somewhere near the front again.

Approx 120km completed. Only the sprinters are struggling with Vini setting the tempo in the peloton.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Yup, he's baked... and any fule knows the Skynet T-2013 has no reproductive organs.

6 Vinis vs 6 men in the break...

[Moose McKnuckles]

WTF is Sella doing in that gear?

 

[Potomac]

Anybody else having problems with the BeIn Sports broadcast?

 

[burning]

Peloton is still huge, the action will probably start in final 20 km

 

[burning]

Cav with 5 OPQS

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Cavbus forming.

 

[Pulpstar]

Yup. TV shows it

 

[auscyclefan94]

Vini's starting to struggle a bit now. The final 2.5 minutes won't be that easy to peg back.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Cav with 5 OPQS

That is the support he needs and didn't get last year

 

[spalco]

Just tuned in, would somebody be so nice to post a quick situation report? GC group everything calm?

 

[Tom T.]

he doesn't have balls to go out of his confort zone and fight , he is just like ah tomorrow is TT, let's save energy, he will then attack the sky train when he is lmost in the red waste ton of energy and finish with same time as Wiggo, that's just ***.

Today is a day where Wiggo weakness can be exposed it's not in the high mountain when he is riding a strong steady pace with suits him better than anyone else

Well, let's see what happens today. I think Nibbles, Ryder, Cuddles and others are going to attack. I think everyone knows now that waiting to attack the Sky train in the high mountains is not great strategy. At least I hope they know that.

 

[Pulpstar]

Will any other team help Vini pull the break in, can't work out who might join in - Katusha will be happy with a 2:30 gap so can't see it being them again - anyone else ?

Nibble said to camera before the start that tomorrow was the big day - not today.

Nibali will have a go today. He is bluffing.
