Re:

Was Contador behind Basso as Basso cracked, or did Contador just crack?

Looked weird.

Prolly the first one

I opened the cyclingnews live to see what they said, and a few minutes before they were already remarking Contador was in trouble

No, for me it was looking as Contador have waited for Basso to pace him back

Basso left a gap and Contador in fresh air there

Basso. A crack just seemed to open up between him and the rider ahead of him and left Contador a gap

Basso

Tinkoff flying !

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Tinkoff won't win this I think.

 

[gunara]

Oh no pink Ivan

 

[Red Rick]

Tinkoff gonna get second

 

[Flamin]

Orica takes it.

Re: Re:

Basso will cross first

[arvc40]

Porte just list the Giro !

 

[sir fly]

A shame Tinkoff hasn't taken it.
But it wasn't that close at the end.

 

[Netserk]

Basso probably cost them pink

No RoboBasso this year either?

 

[PremierAndrew]

Contador 6 seconds on Aru, 12 seconds on Uran, 20 seconds on Porte

 

[Velolover2]

Contador got 20 seconds on Porte.

 

[Red Rick]

Contador with a nice tiny buffer

 

[Electress]

Anyone can tell me definitively what happened there? I can't get a stream where I am at the mo.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

preferably Tinkoff-Saxo should have lost out by the smallest possible margin, but getting 2nd by a relatively big margin is not a bad result either. 20 seconds earned on Porte. Good job!

 

[Red Rick]

I hope they interview the Dutch guy with the half dunglish, half australian accent

<<Insert "Weening" meme here>>

 

[The Hitch]

Best result possible for Contador. No pink, but headstart over all rivals.

Monday could be an interesting stage. Lets see how Greenedge defend.

If I were Oleg I would throw Basso into break for fun though obv that won't happen.

 

[arvc40]

Good luck to Porte dropping Contador
