2015 Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Melide > Verbania 170km

[Miburo]

Oh i'm hoping gilbert 2011 will return, great stage win

 

[TommyPlus]

Classy stuff from Gilbert and BMC. Putting Moinard in the break was very astute. Feel a little for Bongiornio. Take either of the BMCs out of the break and he wins.

Re:

Contador: Able to close the gap on the worst mountain in the Giro.
Landa: Not able to close the gap on a lesser mountain.

Landa probably had 20 more seconds to close or so, so it's not comparable. On the other hand Landa and his team was paced by their team car all the way to the bottom of Ologno

 

[DenisMenchov]

6:05

Hesj must be wishing there was another week, Bert bossing Astusha

Re: Re:

Lots of people missed the opportunity to hurt Astana today.

Yeah, I really don't get why everyone was riding so meekly at Kangerts pace. Climb was hard enough for groups to be smaller than 20 guys

No clue.

 

[Alcanelo]

Bertie ever the gent letting Ryder cross first

 

[Squirbos_19]

1min 13sec gap

 

[DenisMenchov]

So 1:13 in the end

 

[Aristarchus]

Over a minute for Contador, in the end. Another epic day.

 

[sultanofhyd]

1 minute 13 seconds

Yeah, but Landa didn't had to chase with his entire team like a TTT.

 

[IamIronMan]

1:10 to Landa/Aru

[Cance > TheRest]

1.13. I'd say it was a good move by AC

 

[Alcanelo]

Another 1:10....attack truly justified

 

[Squirbos_19]

5.15 overall gap to Landa

 

[red_flanders]

Contador is a bad-ass.

Re:

Not the case. This Gilbert is slightly lesser then 2010 too. But still a great rider, who can win these kind of stages.

 

[TommyGun]

Missed the stage, was stuck in a stupid meeting all afternoon :-(

 

[luckyboy]

Aru attacks with 50km to go and ends up losing 3 minutes...
Contador attacks with 50km to go and gains over a minute...

 

[phanatic]

So Bertie just kept the original gap? All those expressions of pain when climbing was just him working out his anger I guess. Tomorrow comes the rage. RoboBasso in the break.

 

[IamIronMan]

Well, we now officially have true dislike and disrespect between Astana and TS, so if we are ever going to see some explosive racing, it will be tomorrow and Saturday!

 

[HiroAntagonist]

Astana's dinner table will be fun tonight...

Re: Re:

What a BS Astana...Landa is not allowed...


Hesjedal climbing better than Contador at the end of The Giro, as I predicted.

Lol just stop right there

Wasnt Hesjedal stronger than Contador today? are you going to say that?
