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

[Ryo Hazuki]

but he should show some intend?

the only guy showing a desire to win is Rolland. he is or his teammates are doing something.

Majka is no contador. he seems impossible of catching a teammate sent ahead. :-(

uran is never going to win this stage. he should be the last to show intend. it's more sad from other gc riders and climbers like pozzovivo and aru they are doing nothing and doj't care for the stage win

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm disappointed in you Nairo

 

[Netserk]

Why didn't Astana or Ag2r chase at all?

 

[mastermind]

What kind of question is that? Aren't you Arrendondo, the 2014 KOM Giro winner?

Arrendondo doesn't know it, so asks it here

for real, i thought he said it would be 4 points difference in favor of you

 

[webvan]

Zoncolan is a hard enough climb to shatter most any gap, so I'm waiting on saying the break has it for now.

Although it is looking better for the break I will concede.

Exactly, it seems few people here remember watching the climb in 2007 and 2010, it's as brutal as can be. Actually you even have to wonder how these guys can climb slopes like that for 10km...10% already looks like a "wall" for most anyone.

 

[Wallenquist]

Why should Movistar give a **** if the break contains no threats to the maglia rosa?

To win a stage. If you have the best climber in field why not just go and take what's yours ?

 

[Arredondo]

What kind of question is that? Aren't you Arrendondo, the 2014 KOM Giro winner?

You're right, never mind

 

[mastermind]

To win a stage.

priorities i think? Maglia Rose or a stage

 

[alspacka]

I'm still not sure the break will take this. Hope not, obviously.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

priorities i think? Maglia Rose or a stage

Well, the Maglia Rosa is secured and Quintana is the best climber in the race and could almost certainly win the stage if he wanted to.

 

[rainman]

Hard to tell. remember it will finish in ones. Everything will disintegrate.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'm still not sure the break will take this. Hope not, obviously.

Are you serious?

 

[Wallenquist]

priorities i think? Maglia Rose or a stage

How would the maglia rosa be in danger if they increase the pace ?

 

[saneguy]

Zoncolan about to start. Looking forward to this . I feel the GC action should start immediately!

 

[luckyboy]

Jesus, Eurosport with like the 4th commercial break of this descent

 

[Afrank]

Zoncolan about to start. Looking forward to this . I feel the GC action should start immediately!

Rolland will attack.

I don't even need to put a smilie after that.

 

[Eclipse]

Once more into the breach dear friends

Looking forward to this!

 

[Publicus]

The lack of fight between any of the GC candidates really is anti-climatic way to finish this race.

 

[spalco]

I'm disappointed in you Nairo

He's about to score the biggest victory of his career, arguably the biggest victory of a cyclist from his country ever; why the **** would he jeopardise that with a long range attack now, especially when there's still a reasonable chance for the break to collapse and him winning from 3k out?

 

[DirtyWorks]

Yeah, this is very disappointing..

The Zoncolan is a monster. And it's the 20th day of racing. 6 minutes isn't that much. The peloton can take 1 min/km.

If the break is insanely lucky, someone will podium from that group. But, it's likely the day's podium will be from the GC group.

Which long range attack

 

[Bumbibjörnen]

8 minutes now, zero chance they'll catch guys like Delfino, Monfort, Cataldo with that advantage. No matter how hard the climb is.

 

[Vitapen]

Didi Senft's here!

 

[spalco]

Which long range attack

I don't know, ask Dekker-Tifosi what he expected Quintana to do to sufficiently entertain him.

 

[Kwibus]

Anyone seen Hoogerland this Giro.

Dissapointing performance. Not once in the break.
