2015 Giro d'Italia, St. 8: Fiuggi – Campitello Matese 186 km

[The Barb]

Again, the GPS timing is awful ... Judging by when the lead trio went under the 45km to go banner they only have 23 seconds over the chase group.

Me too, would be much more interesting

I timed 3 leaders to Peleton at 8:11 so seems right to me. Niemiec has a real chance today good luck to him.

Betancurs wheel sliding on that corner.

Hope the bunch get a warning about that bend, marginal.

Hope he gets pink, but someone gets the stage. Preferably Kruiswijk for me, but I doubt it with the competition he has in this break.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Come on Astana!

Any chance the break will hold?

Yes.

Ok.

No problem

Because of your advice I put some money on Zakarin, let's see

 

[Jelantik]

At what odds? I have some money on Betancur at odds 81 so I hope the break holds

TS back to pulling upfront again...

I dig that scenario totally, really loved he whole Belkin/Rabo trio of Gesink, Steven and Bauke,

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Betancur should win the stage if he is in good form. Zakarin is a bit of an unknown, but has not been great so far in the Giro.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I can't see Niemiec taking pink today.

Did we get confirmation of the TV where Contador supposedly took 2 seconds

And what was the category of that really long climb, Kruijswijk got 15 points while I see it being a cat 2 everywhere

At 5.00. You made an each-way bet? Then Zakarin 1 and Betancur 2 would be good for us

Re:

I could he's a competent climber and there's only 17km to get to climb if he gets there with 8 minutes got a good chance?
Edit.as I say that it's 7:52 so won't be enough for him
