nibali a big loser this stage too. Ryder's chances improving?

no he wasn't.

what a stage man, il giro... what a race you are <3

Wow @ wiggo. That was something...

however the most shocking thing.... gesink didnt fall

 

[Highlander]

Eurosport just corrected their earlier mistake and confirmed that Nibali was in the first group.

 

[xrayvision]

Nobody working harder than Hansen, most deserved win, great ride.

 

[Afrank]

Confirmed that Nibbles was in the first group.

Good, now I can start paying attention in class.

 

[Ramira]

Nibali was in the front group today , so Wiggins lost 1 min 30 on him ?

Afaik he lost about a minute and a half on every contender. Well apart from Uran and Henao who were forced to wait for him.

 

[SantiBotero]

What a snoozefest. There will be nothing at all happening GC-wise. Fast forward to the next sprinter stage, please.

I think this stage will be a disappointment. It looks great on paper, but the day after is too crucial for GC riders to ride very hard imo.

Nibs was in the group at 1.15.

 

[Parrulo]

I hope neither Nibali nor Wiggins are injured

 

[contessador]

Nibbles in the front group, I thought

 

[maxmartin]

no he wasn't.

what a stage man, il giro... what a race you are <3

Wow @ wiggo. That was something...

yep while Nibali crashed

 

[Roude Leiw]

What a ****ed up stage

Actually a brilliant one. Your boy was right up there in the end…. and an Aussie won the stage? So whats your beef?

 

[Dutchsmurf]

So how long before people who are watching Eurosport start to notice that Nibali was actually in the main group?

Oh, so that was why that many people were saying he wasn't there. I was wondering, because there didn't seem to be any doubt Nibali was in the first group to me.

 

[webvan]

Wiggins loses minute 30 plus couldn't even hang in with the whole group

Mental block for Wiggins after the fall, that's understandable, but that's how you lose a GT...needs to toughen up!

 

[Netserk]

Di Luca taking 8 boni seconds from Santa

 

[Pulpstar]

Wiggo crashed in the last 5 miles, doesn't that mean he gets the same time as the winner ?

 

[SafeBet]

nibali a big loser this stage too. Ryder's chances improving?

what are you guys talking about? Nibbles was in the front group.

Kangert has a very distinctive jersey.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Blanco reborn, all their GC men in the front group in a hilly stage with lots of falls and peloton splits etc.

completely opposite to last years TDF where at the first big crash all three of their GC men were down and out....

The rain changed everything.

 

[contessador]

Evans! great ride.

Benat!! oh ya

 

[the asian]

Benat the new race leader!

 

[Highlander]

Time to start talking about nullifying the stage since it just isn't fair to expect riders to go fast downhill when it is wet out.

 

[maxmartin]

Nibali was in leading group, why Astana guys are pulling W????

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Nibali and the others are lucky that it rained today.

 

[GoodTimes]

are u sure?

Guess not! I should know better than to listen too uncritically to my EuroSport coverage
