NBC guys saying Fulgsang hit bottle in road and that is why he fell.

A spectator said that a Lotto rider threw the bottle that brought him down.

Is Tom Steels in the race???

 

[Afrank]

GC guys are thinking about neutrlizing the stage and coming all together holding hands!

While singing "why can't we be friends..."

Because it's a f***ing bike race! Now someone attack!

 

[GroupDK]

wauue' what a spectacular view.

 

[Tournesol]

Plenty of kms left for a big battle,give it 10k then the attacks will start.

 

[cineteq]

Fuglsang and Scarponi will NOT be with Nibali in this last climb...

 

[Parrulo]

I read yesterday they stopped anti biotics and Costa is feeling better

Yesterday he said on his diary that he only felt at 70%

I know it's typical cyclist overestimation but for pros being at 95% is enough to lose time

Yeah that's what happens when everybody is happy with their GC placing...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Perhaps Van den Broeck will give us one of his spectacular 50 meter attacks today.

 

[Alcanelo]

Nibali will get dropped here and lose 30 seconds to the winner

Gonna happen

Is the Bird back in the peloton?

How many Astana riders are left?

 

[DonMI6]

I beg you Sherwen...for the love of god don't start praising Jeannie Longo!

 

[whittashau]

Is the Bird back in the peloton?

How many Astana riders are left?

Yes,

Westra. Scarponi, Bird, and strangely Gruzdev

They seemed to slow down considerably not long after he went down, so I assume so.

 

[paperboyNC]

Horner gonna take this. One time please?

 

[cineteq]

They seemed to slow down considerably not long after he went down, so I assume so.

He's not rejoined the field. Scarponi's with him as per NBC crew.

Does someone have the climbing time set by Armstrong in 2001? Just the climb, not counting the first flat m or km. Maybe Jens_attacks?

And is it climbed from the same side? Or did they do the slightly easier side in 2001?

 

[ILovecycling]

vai vai vai Allesandro!!!!!!

 

[Carols]

Vamos Valverde!!!

 

[ILovecycling]

allesandro tired as hell

edit: lol this thread has 30 pages,pathetic

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

According to Sporza Fuglsang has in fact not returned to the peloton. He is supposedly far behind already with Scarpno and another Astana.

It's only been climbed once in 2001 as a MTT. Armstrong won it in 1:07:27.

Interestingly the KOM holder for the segment on Strava did it in 54:53.
