2014 Giro Del Trentino, 22/04 - 25/04, 2.HC

Nice win for Zardini, and about time Bardiani won something.

And I see my Evans prediction is going well thus far.

Also glad to see Duarte finally doing something and Aru showing some good form.

Ya Evans looks good right now. If he climbs like this next couple of days he'll win. Can't find the full results yet....anyone know what happened to Basso?

Thanks! I keep forgetting about procyclingstats....I generally use them to look at riders stats, but keep forgetting that they show race results. They seem to post things up faster than steephill.

 

[Escarabajo]

Duarte seems to be coming to form since... forever.

I think he was already showing some good form in the Criterium International

 

[BigMac]

Let's hope Niemiec won't have to slave for Cunego in the Giro.

It's about time Niemiec gets to lead the Giro.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Happy that Duarte is alive. Hope he confirms the next few days. Aru showing to fullfil some promises and Cuddles will bite until the end and take this.

Will today's effort cost Zardini moving forward?

Bardiani strikes in the rain.

Please post link to any viddy found.

 

[SafeBet]

I honestly expected more from Rosa.

No place to hide on stage 3:

This will soften the legs a bit before the kicker in the end:

This will hurt, last 5 km:

Viva la Pozzo better get his act together and grab the win here.

Edit: Note we are somewhat back to normal schedule: Start 10:30 and finish around 15:00

 

[SafeBet]

This is the kind of stage where another outsider could get a win.
Unless Cadel wants the stage.

 

[manafana]

unexpected winner today it has be said hasn't done too much before didn't even have a top 10 this year

Random Italian starts climbing like a boss just in time for the Giro is a trope which always ends well.

Zardini is 24, went pro last year. He was 6th in giro dell'Emilia and did well in the autumn semi classics.

And even if I partly get your point this is something we should discuss elsewhere.

Edit: Sir Wiggo will be valuable for Froome in the tour no doubt. Also Zardini needs a bit of practice with the Spumante.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Evans looked in controll, while it looked like Pozzo and Aru used to much energy early in the mountain. Duarte looks sharp!
give me some 10% + kilometers and the Italians and colombian will take the aussie I belive though

pls go away. I don't even know where to start with all your bull**** :facepalm:

Wiggo did a massive turn on the front running up to the final climb - for no apparent reason other than training. All the Sky guys died on the climb.

lol. why? because he led a B-field peloton containing over 60 guys on some false flat sections?

He basically rode the entire peloton off his wheel including his pals. Where the fucc are you guys?
