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

[TheGreenMonkey]

Contador taking of his helmet and adjusting things while riding one handed. That shoulder must be quite good.

 

[infeXio]

Basso and Christopher Juul coming up from behind

 

[Arredondo]

Fuga completa: Betancur, Pellizotti, Bongiorno, Samoilau, Reichenbach, Niemiec, Intxausti, Finetto, Danielson, Zakarin y Vandewalle.

 

[Campervan man]

Niemic best placed at +5.10?

Re: Re:

Porte only has 1 teammate in the group? Not so bad if it's Konig I suppose.

There are at least another 3 Sky with him

Yes there are now, riders are coming back to the bunch as pace has let up. At one point he only had Puccio with him.

Looks like about another 50 riders coming back on.

 

[Arredondo]

Big group coming back

 

[Eagle]

Everything coming back together

Re: Re:

Did Basso have a mechanical?

Mechanical called "age".

He is doing a big job, the start has been explosive, and he worked, ha has to save for the dolomites.

 

[rm7]

Contador doesn't look good at all. Juul and Basso back, very good!

Re:

Niemic best placed at +5.10?

Yes, then Kruijswijk at almost 10, others at around 15 including Betancur

Re:

Right Saxo back to 6 now. edit looks like 8 now

 

[trevim]

Is that Paulinho in the main group? If that's him, good ride this is the kind of job he does well, not on the MTF itself

 

[lemon cheese cake]

A lot of chat in the maglia rosa group.

why doesn't astana try to make the race fast again. At the moment it looks like tinkoff is able to recover

 

[Campervan man]

What are Rai sports up to!

Re: Re:

Are they in for doing the same thing as with Roman just the other day? Let a remotely dangerous break with Zakarin and Betancour build up a momentum during most of the day before Astana goes mental.

How on earth can you compare this group with the Kreuziger-group a few days ago.

Where do you read i compared them?

 

[Arredondo]

Is Ishibashi already back?

What's the last time we had so much action in the first week of a GT

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

8 Tinkoff leading the peloton.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Virtual standing says Contador ahead of Aru by 2". Perhaps the bonus seconds was a mistake after all then?

 

[Rollthedice]

Zakarin's moment of glory today.

 

[Carols]

Things have really calmed down......major regrouping..... Still no pics on beIN, I pay for this crap

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Getting lots of picture break up.

Kruijswijk is really pushing on, seems to be increasing his lead over the breakaway as well as the peloton. How long can he keep it up?

 

[Campervan man]

Re:

Yea all teams back to full strength again. Break is well established at 6 mins, Niemiec in virtual pink!

 

[l.Harm]

Kruijswijk in form is a diesel, he won't slow down.
