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

[LaFlorecita]

quintana will 100% attack there

For once I hope you're right.

Who are Sky still riding for lol? Mikel Nieve may be a good climber (same level as Uran in terms of climbing), but he is going to lose big time in the TT.

some 30 kms to go and we will hit danilo di luca's test climb, mitico lanciano.
i hope he will be there to wave to the peloton
in his honour, pirazzi will attack on the absolute first ramp. tutti pazzi per pirazzi!

_O_

Shouldn't that be "I hope you're right for once"?

 

[trevim]

Nieve is no puncheur. He might lose a bit of time on today's finish. Also he isn't a climber of Uran's level.

well, the alternative would be to hit the bars and party.

Anyway gap now about 10 minutes. Downhill-ish to the base of the climb. Break will have 8-9 minutes imo. Anybody with form in the front group?

 

[jens_attacks]

break will take it if they ride tempo on lanciano. if this happens lol.....

more likely tht movistar might make the selection in lanciano and Quintana will try to go for the kill in the final climb.

Nieve finished ahead of Uran yesterday, and Nieve had to ride to Porte.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

ianstannard is a troll. can't believe you people don't see that

 

[murali]

Equating Nieve with Uran?

is this a cycling fan or a sky-tard?

 

[Jspear]

Nieve finished ahead of Uran yesterday, and Nieve had to ride to Porte.

And Uran had to ride for Kwiatkowski....Speaking in general terms Uran is a better climber than Nieve.

 

[McLovin]

We'll get a stream till Lanciano begins?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

We'll get a stream till Lanciano begins?

Should be broadcast in 25 minutes.

 

[McLovin]

Should be broadcast in 25 minutes.

Thanks....

 

[ianstannard]

Yes, Uran definitely had to ride to Kwia. But did Kwia finish ahead of Porte?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Shouldn't that be "I hope you're right for once"?

Hmm perhaps you're right

 

[GuyIncognito]

Yes, Uran definitely had to ride to Kwia. But did Kwia finish ahead of Porte?

What is a Porte? Is a Porte better than a Worte? What is cycling?

 

[murali]

gap is coming down.

we might have a fight, after all!!!

 

[ianstannard]

What is a Porte? Is a Porte better than a Worte? What is cycling?

Look, a senior member who does not know what is cycling

I am rooting for him but doubt he will take the stage. The mur looks a little too steep or him.

 

[ianstannard]

Wiggins gonna take this
