2014 Tirreno Adriatico, Stage 5: Amatrice - Guardiagrele: 192 km

Kwiatkoski was suffering the most yesterday on the 10% kicks. He was also isolated for the most critical parts, and was lucky to have Porte drag everything back. With Uran not at his best, he won't be able to hold wheels for those late, steep k's or be able to claw back before the descent.

How long should the Wall take to climb?

Moreno FTW. Wish Pozzovivo was showing a little more form though.

The wall is 600m long. With a speed of 9 to 12 kph that would take 3 to 4 minutes.

wait wut? what happened to richie? :(
i was counting on him too to attack today...

Don't worry, they still have the best stage racer in the world to do that.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will show what a daring and attacking rider he is and ofcourse how good of a teammate he is by attacking on the Lanciano

There's no one who needs to gain 5 minutes...
Best case scenario for us would be big guns attacking at 3 kms from the top of Lanciano and forming a selected group.
