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

Hesjedal 2 seconds slower than Gesink

 

[the sceptic]

Seriously RAI, what the hell...

Maybe they are trying to ignore him the entire way. shame on them .

 

[roundabout]

Hesjedal good, but not great

 

[JimPanzen]

Of course they take a drop, he will need to make up time in the mountains now, unless he's going to gamble it all on the MTT. Most people expected Wiggins to have a 2 minute lead after today (before earlier events), so that's a 3 minute turnaround.

i wouldn't be too sure that he won't make up time in the mountains.

Great ride for Hesjedal, considering his usual TT performances. But not as great as the other non TTers.

 

[roundabout]

Nibali seems to be flying though, let's see.

 

[Parrulo]

hey is there any feed with the time checks?

i can't find one of gazzeta

Worse than I expected from Ryder to be honest.

 

[the sceptic]

What is Santambrogios time at intermediate?

 

[Ruudz0r]

+2:34 13th

..

Thanks, Very nice!!

 

[Ramira]

I think Hesjedal is doing pretty much what should have been expected. He's a good but not great time trialist imo.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Nibali a long way ahead of Ryder.

Doesn't work with all browsers... For me, Firefox is fine, IE not.

+1.44

10 char

I'm not sure, but it's impossible to have confidence in such an outcome when it's never happened previously, not even one second without Froome.

 

[Publicus]

Is this Eurosport commentator complaining about the Italians following their countrymen? That takes a lot of gall...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali bossing the ITT

 

[Miburo]

Niemec needs to slow down!!!

 

[maxmartin]

Phinney is sick not in good shape, Nibali much better TTer than Ryder until proven otherwise. My outside pick is Alex Dowsett

Hesjedal allright, not so good

+43 9th at first check

as expected

 

[Eshnar]

OMG Nibali!!!

 

[gmedina]

any word on betancourt? is he taking the white jersey today?

 

[Winnen]

Nibali!! Very good!

 

[saneguy]

The Giro is wide open now. Most people thought Wiggo will kill it in the ITT...he clearly hasnt. Not saying he cant still win the Giro but the other GC guys will now feel much more confident going forward. Loving this Giro so far. So much drama...loving it

 

[Escarabajo]

Do you guys think that now Henao can have more freedom in the team?

Uran can be tied to Wiggins and Henao can be free to ride for himself!
