mutschi said:My lead is melting away like the snow in the Dolomites - a little bit every day. Agonizing. Need a miracle, something like convincing Petacchi to have a break in his 3 weeks Italian cycling holiday and actually try to contest a sprint for a change. More realistic is my hope that Rolland will do something great - win a stage and move into top ten. Dupont is able to move up ten places too in GC. If then someone else takes over Pink the 18 points get spread around a bit more. And if Evans holds his 2nd and earns some finishing points ..... - if all these things happen I might be able to get a podium. Long shot though. I should be happy wearing Pink for a few days and I am still wearing Red. Successful Giro, no matter what.

Hugo87 said:Complete domination today.
1st, 2nd, 3rd,4th and 5th on the stage, this should be some kind of record.
Armchair cyclist said:A shared record at best: two others had the same 5 riders.
Hugo87 said:It's still a record
Thanks again for the updates AC
BigMac said:Is that Azevedo leading Armstrong and Basso on Plateau de Beille in your profile pic? Amazing.
Also, it seems like you are going to win this.

NairoQ said:@Armchaircyclist, I wonder where all those +10 points come from, for example Hesjedal, Henao?
Armchair cyclist said:After st 14, Henao was 36th in GC, 32 projected GC points: after stage 15, he was 31st (42 projected points)
After st 14, Hesjedal was 12th in GC, 112 projected GC points: after stage 15, he was 11th (120 projected points) and he got 2 for coming 9th.
