2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 7: Frosinone → Foligno (211 km)

[Netserk]

GC of the breakaway:

Chalapud 31st 1'01''
Herrada 40th 1'37''
Thurau 58th 3'36''
Anacona 64th 4'26''
Boem 123rd 11'06''

They have 1'10'' after 32km so virtual pink for Colombia!

Apparently it's now Chalapud (Colombia-74), Herrada (Movistar-126), Anacona (Lampre-101), Thurau (Europcar-169) and Boem (Bardiani-33) in the lead.

No-one in that group will make it to the end for the win.

how stuid are colombia to constantly send riders in flat breaks when they will need them in the final weke now they finally seem to be getting in form (chalapud especiallY)

 

[Netserk]

No-one in that group will make it to the end for the win.

Why not? Too close in GC?

Thanks Netserk, but the GC times can't be right.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

because they are with just 5 man obviously...

 

[Netserk]

Thanks Netserk, but the GC times can't be right.

Lol, just noticed I looked at the stage times from yesterday, not the overall

 

[Netserk]

Ok correction: Herrada is best in GC 3'48'' after Matthews.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

also why in the blue hell is movistar sending a rider in the break here?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Racing is on today methinks.

And of all people, the one who proved to be the strongest domestique for Quintana at this point

 

[Popchu]

Only 1 minute advantage after 50k.

 

[Wallenquist]

What's the advanatge for breakaway ?

Biciciclismo says 8 minutes, gazzetta says 55 seconds

 

[FjPavels]

Only 1 minute advantage after 50k.

13:15:32 CEST
The peloton has let the breakaway go clear and the gap is now close to eight minutes.

 

[Netserk]

Herrada dropped back to the peloton and Haas joined the break.

Herrada dropped back to the peloton and Haas joined the break.

That means Thurau is best in GC of the breakaway 51st 6'45''. That might explain why they got more of a gap.

 

[Netserk]

Ramon Carretero (133) DNF

lol, limited racing again then. Still with a bit of luck Thurau could grab pink.

Herrada dropped back to the peloton and Haas joined the break.

Team Management read Ryo's post and pulled him back.

 

[Anderis]

Haas joined the break.

Strong candidate to win a stage if they don't catch the break IMO.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Herrada dropped back to the peloton and Haas joined the break.

Or it was Haas not Herrada all along?

 

[Yingge]

Seems it might have been.

 

[Yingge]

Looks like the rain has begun again.

 

[Butterhead]

A bunch sprint today..

 

[wirral]

Viviani for the 6 points for sixth place?
