[wirral]

Wellens to pick up a small number of mountains points? No Arredondo.

Saving himself for the huge days ahead.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Presumably Savio is going to have Androni chase for the rest of the stage unless they let Frapporti catch up

Frapporti is now part of the break.

Le Bon FTW.

Scinto is chasing this down. At least he'll try. Where's Hoogerland anyway? No more stupid yet entertaining attacks from him?

 

[UselessToo]

Simon Geschke takes this with a margin of one beard

 

[UlleGigo]

Has anyone got a list of the riders that are allowed to attack today? I wanna put a bet on.

Wow that's like twenty guys. Is it sunny today?

 

[Tragic]

******, Hansen missed it. Was his best chance for a stage I figured, but maybe he just wants to finish, sneaking up on the record for most consecutive GTs finished.

Discussion on Eurosport now about yesterday's descent.

I think they need to follow Tinkov's advice and adopt F1 methods. So from now on when a descent is considered too dangerous riders should ride down behind a pace rider on a BMW tricycle ridden by former professionals or Andy Schleck (if available)

Funny, you should post this on stage 16 thread.

the descent wasn't any more dangerous than lot of times before. nothing to whine about

 

[UlleGigo]

Yep. Exactly mate. Let them race. I hope Quintana wins the Giro by ten minutes so that yesterday is forgotten.

[Pricey_sky]

A very quiet one today, should be a good final to see who gets the win from the break.

Just the 2,420 post's for this one to catch up with yesterdays stage thread!

 

[Yingge]

11:24 with 50km to go - the Peloton doesn't seem very interested in reeling them in.

That joke comes from last years Giro (IIRC)
