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

[maltiv]

There's just no way Taborre can close this gap and the peloton has gone on holiday. Tactical failure by Vini Fantini.

 

[Descender]

FDJ rider saw the "Open at lunchtime" sign and thought he'd pop in for a quick bite.

 

[Parrulo]

Was that jeannesson who just managed to crash on a straight flat road?

 

[Spicco]

The gap is up to 3 minutes...

Hansen vs. Sella

 

[Tom T.]

Sky wants a slow pace to keep things safe. Somebody needs to step up and make things uncomfortable.

FDj are having a crash fest at the Giro. jeannesson's turn to hit the tarmac.

 

[Descender]

Was that jeannesson who just managed to crash on a straight flat road?

Got touched by a Blanco rider me thinks.

 

[Parrulo]

Its funny how despite being the exact same model, the vini fantini helmet is about a million times cooler than the lotto one

 

[maxmartin]

Garmin is riding

 

[Eshnar]

Garmin pulling!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Garmin and Vini starting to chase. Why is Garmin chasing?

 

[SafeBet]

Hesjedal taking Control.

Other teams want to play it safe too. Pushing is a massive risk when a fall on these slippery roads could put a GC contender out of the Giro.

 

[webvan]

Hesjedal in the front?

[EDIT - Yes #1 it is]

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Did Ryder attack?

 

[Publicus]

Thank you Ryder--love all cycling fans

 

[Spicco]

Ryder!!

Hesjedal love this weather

 

[goggalor]

Hesjedal needs some team mates, he clearly wants a higher pace.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Where is wiggins?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

No it's not. That yellow neon is causing cancer to the eye.

 

[Eshnar]

Hesjedal attacked for like 5 meters...

True, but playing it safe is what Sky wants. You have to take risks to win. Otherwise you just follow the Skyborg for the next 2 weeks.

 

[Pulpstar]

Hansen looks to be climbing well for a big guy, he certainly looks like a ~ 80 kg sprinter next to Sella !

 

[maltiv]

Wiggins is clearly struggling already and no one wants to do anything.

****ing cowards.
