2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Gabicce Mare - Saltara 54,8 km ITT

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Why did he get dropped on a short climb? That is the question.

He was dropped on the descent before the climb. Agree he showed no signs of racing up it however.

 

[The Hitch]

You know a commentator doesn't know who a rider is when they read out the full name off screen "Egoi Martinez de Esteban" rather than just - Egoi Martinez.

Does anyone have a better ticker than the gazzeta one?

 

[Gloin22]

Intxausti will get valuable info from Dowsett. Got the feeling he's going to keep the lead.

So will all leaders from their teammates

 

[cineteq]

Benat said Nibali is a better tt specialist than him.

down to earth about his opportunities then.

His downplaying his chances, interesting. We don't know how hurt is Nibali from his last crash.

Rain now constant but not torrential, roads will be wet and the many descents in first half of 54km time trial will cost Wiggins time.

This one from "Sky" is pretty good (need to close the "abandoned riders" link though)

Cobo not bad, considering his condition. 1.19.07, just 02.50 behind dowsett.

Excellent thanks, gazzetta's ticker is a joke.

 

[manafana]

cant wait see how dowsett does on final climb, that could make or break him he is a fantastic tt rider on normal course.

 

[roundabout]

the top 10 in split 1 hasn't changed in ages

 

[spalco]

If Wiggins is not ahead by a significant margin in the GC by the end of this this stage, yesterday's stage won't have mattered anyway because he didn't have the form to win the race in any case.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

the top 10 in split 1 hasn't changed in ages

because they are all slower

 

[the asian]

Crash for Colbrelli. Could be in danger of missing the cut.

 

[roundabout]

because they are all slower

that's what I mean, a bit of a lull

 

[burning]

Crash for Colbrelli. Could be in danger of missing the cut.

He was 53rd in first time check, he should be fine

 

[burning]

Blanco never fails to deliver fails

 

[Jelantik]

Again, don't get confused by the map.
It's realy not that technical. This part of the TT was done during a road stage awhile ago.
These are no stop and go corners. It are sweeping corners hat can be done at high speeds.

Hmmm that's not what hesjedal and evans described though. I gotta go with their analysis.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

lol @ Garate

 

[wirral]

LOL Blanco fail.

 

[simo1733]

Not surprised Kesiakoff is down looking at his wheels.

According to this 32 riders have passed the first split, 40 the second and 68 have finished. Unless it's just me.
