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

[Bushman]

Peloton is like 50 riders left or something? I think Astana are trying to isolate Contador on the last climb. Only three Tinkoff riders left in front of Contador and Astana are attacking left and right.

BETANCUR!!!

 

[The Blues]

Attacks everywhere! Betancur on the move right now, and Basso is not present in this group.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Contador got a 2" time bonus at the first intermediate sprint.

 

[Bushman]

Attacks left and right this is incredible

 

[Arredondo]

So Basso and Paolini in 2nd group

 

[TommyPlus]

Some sprinters are going to struggle to make the time limit today

Re:

What caused the split in the first place?

 

[Carols]

Re:

Basso apparently not among the Tinkoff-riders in the front group

LOL Basso dropped...totally useless

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

I think there is 8 astana riders and 5 sky riders in the group. Possibly 4 Tinkoff with Contador.

That must have been wrong?? I think Grosu and Samoilau were in the break?

They said that on the SBS coverage, missed reading the graphic, perhaps an error

Lol I've been looking for half an hour for a stream, turns out RAI stream on the official website is available globally (or Europe?).

The graphic said Contador was second on the sprint.

 

[Carols]

Wow it is total Carnage out there!!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

So we have a break clear now. Betancur is there. Amador as well by the looks of it. Kruijswijk as well.

 

[Bushman]

Looks like the break with Betancur got away.

Betancur, Katusha, Bardiani, Movistar, Lampre, Garmin-Cannondale, CCC, Androni

Kruijswijk a little bit in front.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Kruijswijk solo, ahead of 10 others.

 

[l.Harm]

Kruijswijk testa della corsa!

 

[Miburo]

I never expected anything from Basso honestly. He was already bad last year.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

SBS think Pellizotti is in the break.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Wow this is brutal, what a start! I hope it doesn't fizzle out.

 

[Eagle]

Did Basso have a mechanical?

 

[infeXio]

Zakarin!
