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

[iZnoGouD]

When did he peak?

He is like at 90%, his intention was to get stronger during Giro and come out of it close to top form

 

[sulgpallur]

so positivly suprised by kangert today, he could have take today as a restday

 

[happytramp]

dumb and dumber

Disappointed in Kelly. Usually he at least tries to watch the screen.

 

[spalco]

Pretty good Scarponi. I would faaaar prefer him to win than Nibali.

 

[Eshnar]

Scarponi crushed the final climb...

 

[Carols]

I hope Nibbles has paced himself well.

Geez...I Hope so!!! Go Shark

Sky says Wiggins is not sick, contrary to Twitter hearsay, he didn't crash on course. Found it hard to get a rhythm in first sector but OK.

 

[iZnoGouD]

I hope Nibali crashes

I honestly think RAI should apologise to Intxausti.

absolutely. ZERO camera time for the maglia rosa is utterly disgraceful.

 

[Magnus]

He's behind Wiggins because of the team FFS!!!

Yes.

And he was slow on the final ramp of the tt today because Team Sky gave him a bike of lead.

 

[the asian]

Scarpo at 1.17.20. Very good effort.

 

[Ramira]

Nice time from Scarponi. Keeps him a contender, curious to see what he'll do this Tuesday.

Also Wiggins did not crash, and denies he's ill.

 

[the sceptic]

Scarponi crushed the final climb...

More like Dowsett cracked there i think

 

[spalco]

....or his preparation was all about the mountains

Alright, but that has got to be fanboy explanation, no?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

looks like Wiggins wasnt the only fast guy on the final ramp, considering scarponi's time

 

[happytramp]

I hope Nibali crashes

Spoken like a true A$$hole. Go **** yourself.

 

[Parrulo]

Scarponi crushed the final climb...

He looks extremely good actually. Wouldn't surprise me if he was the best climber of the race

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Wonder what Wiggo time was from last split to the finish line ?

Interesting to compare to Nibali !

**STAGE 18 **

sorry i have money on Kelderman

 

[spalco]

When did he peak?

2012 I'd say. I meant age-wise peak, possibly.

 

[webvan]

Scarponi crushed the final climb...

Yes but not as much as Wiggo, he gained 43 seconds on Dowsett and Wiggo gained 49 seconds.

 

[Winnen]

Kruiswijk at 4.42 at second point... Thats dissapointing.

 

[the sceptic]

Interesting to compare to Nibali !

**STAGE 18 **

About the same as Scarponi
