I haven't seen Kittel tbh. I think Giant is riding for Mezgec

@Tommplus 18km, 1'36 lead

Commentators just said Kittel out of the game.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Confirmed Kittel is dropped.. 11,5km, now 1'07 gap

On ipad so scarping the barrel

 

[Afrank]

Nizzolo, Ferrari, Mezgec, who else?

Is Hofland in there?

 

[TommyPlus]

Love this site!

 

[BigMac]

Yea, Hofland's in there.

8km to go gap at 45 seconds.

 

[Afrank]

Yea, Hofland's in there.

8km to go gap at 45 seconds.

Probably the fastest on paper with Kittel being out of it.

 

[BigMac]

7.5km and gap is only at 30 seconds.

Most GC riders near the front.

 

[BigMac]

Probably the fastest on paper with Kittel being out of it.

Think so. He wasn't very well positioned a couple of k's back though. Mezgec on the other hand was. No Belkin with him.

 

[hfer07]

oh man- why can't a break away make it to the finish??

 

[Afrank]

just a 25 second gap with 5K to go. Not the time to mess around, gap falling faster now.

 

[BigMac]

5k and the break should be doomed. Less than 20 seconds.

Orica leading followed by Tinkoff.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think Mezgec and Nizzolo are faster than Hofland anyway but we'll see

edit: I think Roberto Ferrari is there as well

 

[BigMac]

Lampre appears. Ferrari's in there.

 

[Afrank]

This break seems to be doomed, down to around 10 seconds. Very nice effort by them though.

edit: 3.4 to go BTW

 

[BigMac]

Costa protecting Ferrari's wheel. Lampre in the front too soon.

Edit: It wasn't Ferrari nvmind.

 

[Afrank]

Kwiat up at the front keeping himself safe (and waiting to pounce in the sprint, he does it all you know )

 

[shalgo]

Break caught at 3 km to go.

 

[BigMac]

Ferrari is not in the front. Costa will sprint for himself and hope to get a few seconds.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

OPQS. Maybe Kwiat himself wins?

 

[BigMac]

Kwiat will sprint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hofland is too far back.

 

[Afrank]

Tony drilling it for Kwiat, 1K.

Albasini in there.
