2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 20: Maniago-Monte Zoncolan (167 Km)

[Hugo Koblet]

Indeed. Either Rafa's stomach is so bad it is hopeless and they are going for the stage win or they are preparing a long range plan. I hope it is the latter

They're going for the stage win with Rogers or Roche.

one might think he would smell the sense of REALITY by now

yeah

That group is large enough for him to hide within.

Yeah,he is a master of picking a large enough break to hide himself,legend

Gap going up again now, 3.30 minutes on top of Pura.
Malori and Ventoso were leading the pack.

The pace Movistar set on the Pura was quite slow. They went fast until Colombia and Cannondale pulled.

 

[murali]

ppl still call it liquigas.


i think the canondale teaam's GC hopes changed with the change of name.

 

[murali]

rogers crashed??? confirmation plz.

all streams are stopping for me today.

 

[rainman]

Seemed to have no spare bike for him. Euro not saying

 

[DonMI6]

Rodgers was stopped, not sure whether it was a crash or a mechanical but he looked angry.

 

[BigMac]

Dunno, Quintana said in a pre race interview he will try to work for a teammate today and try to offer him the win. Should be Igor Anton.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Kirby: unlikely to see a quintana drama ding ****

Camera angle pulling back on that dam wall. #missedphotoopportunity

Lol, is Anton supposed to beat Aru, Uran and the other GC contenders?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

That would be amazing and I would love it. Igor did ride inside himself in yesterday's TT for today as well.

But it simply isn't going to happen. I really doubt we're going to see him attack up the road when he's domestiquing for the maglia rosa, and if there are attacks from the main group and once people are all alone on the road I'm afraid the 2014 vintage Igor Antón simply isn't likely to be there

Rogers is back in the break. Over 4 minutes gap now
