Re:

Doesn't Tinkoff have a rider in the break?

Yep, Boaro.

Re:

Why are Saxo chasing?

Protecting Alberto obviously. Why? Because they can.

Re: Re:

Still don't get why Tinkoff-Saxo is chasing.

AC will attack and win the Giro today.

Jullich and dejong brought those master tactics with them

Re:

Chaves is no poor rider. 5 minutes shouldn't be a problem, but if I was Contador i'd rather have a buffer of 2 minutes

He's not, but I'd honestly doubt that he wouldn't fade in the third week.

 

[Netserk]

We all know that riding at the front gives an instant 20W. Sound strategy from Tinkoff.

I laugh thinking about what was said of the team until a few days ago

Maybe Olga just wants some tv time for his brand.
The profit is his obsession, as we all know.

Looks like Oleg is calling the shots for Saxo...yesterday he tried to make Contador sprint it seems he wants to win every stage of the Giro

 

[Netserk]

Was that Chaves who took 2 bonus seconds?

Re:

I think so.
BMC riders 1st and 3rd? Gilbert and Dillier?

 

[Campervan man]

Re:

Looked like him. Is the run in tricky at all does anyone know?

 

[Flamin]

What's the situation right now?

Love that... Olga. LOL.

Hope CG riders and those having the luxury to select teams by own will stay as far away as possible from signing for Tinkoff in the near future. Then, after circa 2 years from now this clown is history.

It's only stage 3. To me the Tinkoff riders are already looking rather uncomfortable there on the front. Though I suspect Oleg may have something up his sleeve.

 

[Miburo]

Even if Saxo cause carnage on that last climb, i don't get why they had to do this. They aren't going superfast but still

 

[Campervan man]

Quick first hour for saying there mostly going up windy narrow roads. Saxo are keeping things tight, the break is not getting away.

 

[Miburo]

Olga...Good one LOL

I think Puccio is Tinkoff problem,they don't risk anymore with Sky riders.Maybe Puccio turns overnight in a GT contender,with Sky you never know,better to be cautious

 

[sir fly]

Less than a minute...This is ridiculous.

About what team? and what?

Tinkoff of course.
Many people were afraid (someone laughing ) about the shape of team. Now , the race says something of different.
