[Red Rick]

Ratto reinventing the wheel

 

[murali]

why are ppl not chasing pinot, if he is in the break. is it not considered a dangerous break?

 

[all_in]

Basso abandon ?

 

[trevim]

What the hell Ratto descending techniques?!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Ratto looks like my father riding down that hill

 

[icefire]

RTVE reporting that Basso abandons?

 

[Descender]

Katusha pulling on Alto de la Comella...

 

[Rollthedice]

[murali]

[Flamin]

Nibali looks very very smooth.

 

[murali]

Basso abandons.

so0 that makes it 6th person for the stage, right?

 

[The Hitch]

WTF Basso?

Why?

 

[Parrulo]

Yup RTVE just confirmed it.

Basso is out, surprising considering how good he has been looking

 

[trevim]

Ratto should take lessons from Haussler about how to descend in the rain.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

WTF Basso?

Why?

Probably a fall

 

[murali]

any news about moreno, roche, horner?

 

[Red Rick]

the road went down and it had curves and it was wet

 

[icefire]

WTF Basso?

Why?

Hypothermia, according to the RTVE guy in the moto

 

[RedheadDane]

Basso's out? No!

Gotta ask what's up with Ratto's descending, is it that bad?

 

[Beech Mtn]

CN ticker says Valverde got dropped when he stopped for a natural break??? Seems odd.

 

[Descender]

Valverde reported to be 43 secs behind main group, climbing La Comella.

 

[Afrank]

God dammit Basso! He had a great chance for a high overall placing. And I had him on my CQ team!

he better have good reason to abandon.

 

[The Hitch]

Ratto descends like I descend, only in the wet and twice the speed.

 

[murali]

basso abandon, comes on the screen.

WTF!!!

 

[icefire]

Valverde losing 45"
