2015 Giro del Trentino - Trofeo Melinda, 21-24 April

Looks like Bora beat Sky by 3 hundreds of a second, somebody in Black didn't hold a wheel at the line.

 

[Jspear]

Ag2r 7 seconds off Sky's pace. I'm hoping somehow Pozzovivo can beat Porte in the overall...

 

[Jspear]

There are time bonuses right?

 

[More Strides than Rides]

I want to make sure I have the time zone right: delayed coverage should start in about 90 minutes, right?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Great that local rider Benedetti got the leader's jersey. Well deserved success for a hard-working domestique who is not often in the spotlight.

Agreed. Nice result for Bora and a particularly nice touch for Benedetti to get the jersey.

Sky rode first time in this formation, in this light it's indeed very good performance. I've no doubts that Bora prepared for this very well, on the contrary.

 

[Eshnar]

Looks like the SKY train is on duty today.

[Pricey_sky]

Lovely jubbly! Porte keeps on winning, got to be doing wonders for his confidence.

 

[hrotha]

Nice result for Cunego. I was lamenting his last 3-4 years just last night and feeling really sad about him.

 

[MatParker117]

Mikel Landa is now the filling in a Sky podium sandwich.

Don't worry, he'll crack in the Giro and hopefully the "Richie is a GC contender" hype train will be derailed for good.

Indeed nice to see his name there!

Kind of hope he does, then he can soft peddle the rest of the Giro and Froome can then use another super dom in the Tour.

2. Landa +24"

No way,this is his last chance as GC leader in a GT at Sky,if he'll fail he'll not get another.Sky has enough domestiques,Little Richie must not fail
