2014 Giro d'Italia Stage 6: Sassano – Montecassino | 257 km

[Arredondo]

You were saying?

It's quite obvious it was Majka when he was wearing the white jersey

I had not paid any attention to Majka. I was just ****ed about Purito actually.

Holy Crap!!! Total Carnage I just saw my recording.....

Does anyone know how Caruso is? He looked the worst of the fallers.

Meanwhile Evans is surely now in the drivers seat. If he has the legs for the high mountains he could easily take this.

A good Nairo in the high mountains can take it all back though. But he didn't once go to the front to try and make up any time. Maybe he was/is injured?

Poor Purito, his Giro is done for GC. I hope he can win a couple of stages at least. Ditto for Roche, not that I expected him to podium, but he could have done a top 5 maybe.

Meanwhile Kudos to Bling!!!

Caruso was conscious but no report on his injuries, Quintana's team chased but he did not get on the front. Possibly injured. Rodriguez probably won't start tomorrow as he hurt his back.

RoboBasso v3.0 started

That was one sweet day and it will come again

Katusha medical report:

Caruso: broken shoulder
Vicisio: broken femur
Purito: broken ribs or broken wrist (not sure if both)

 

[Kwibus]

Atleast we got some drama now

Matthews finally showing what I thought he had in him from the moment he turned pro.

They seriously got an incredibly ****ty/unlucky Giro...

Nightmare.

Best placed Katusha rider (GC):

48 MORENO Daniel Team Katusha 5:46

Lets see if he can pull off a top 5.

Sad reading. I thought Caruso may have been worse.

 

[Kwibus]

Oh wow...

I missed the crash, I tuned in right after it happened and at work so I didn't get to see any of it, but my guess is that was one of those too dramatic pile ups.

Like we had 2 years ago in the TdF with Poels heavily injured etc.

 

[BigMac]

Bloody hell.

This has to go down in history as one of the most spectacular Grand Tour stages ever.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So 70 years after the Battle of Cassino we get the Montecassino Massacre

 

[Fzotrlool]

Evans, Scarponi, Basso and Samu in top 20, lol. They could all top 10 now. What freaking year are we in?

But I don't think Nairo don't have anything to worry about. If Evans had a lead of 5 minutes, Quintana would still be the favorite.

Nightmare.

He has extra motivation now but he will have to do reasonably in the TTs. Bonus seconds will help.

 

[SKSemtex]

LOL. This picture with your signiture on the bottom is just great.

Matthews finally showing what I thought he had in him from the moment he turned pro.

this. I expected so much from matthews when turning pro, or better yet when leaving rabobank but he disapointed me a lot. thought he would be the next jalabert. now this giro can be his mental breakthrough. I hope he stays in pink and fight for it.

He is obviously a sprinter who can climb. Shows a lot of promise.

He is obviously a sprinter who can climb. Shows a lot of promise.

but what he showed in avenir 2010 was truly remarkable as a climber. he hasn't shown that level yet. I hope he will and also keep working his itt that was also strong as an u23

 

[Carols]

They supported his head, that made me think it was something with his neck.......

I'm hoping it was precautionary as I had fears of paralysis

 

[Poursuivant]

Whst do you expect the TT's between Quintana and Evans to be like when both are complete? Will Quintana cancel out any losses from the first TT in the second TT, do you think?

I think it is too premature to say Quintana looked weak, we can all decide on Saturday where there is no hiding place.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

also rabottini, one of the worst steerers and descenders in the peloton somehow was in front of that crash. sometimes cycling his hilarious.

 

[TANK91]

I remember that awesome day
Never seen evans struggle as much

This was 2006 not 2010.

On the whine about Movistar riding on during PN was great to see even mrs wiggins was in on it on twitter.

Valverde paid the price for that last tour...
