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

Now we are laughing about their tactics. Oleg is making sure that they are completely wasted after half the Giro.

Watching this descent, Tinkoff's plan really might be to detonate Barbagelata (the both sides). But it still doesn't make much sense to keep the breakaway on such a short leash. Even if Nieve is in the front group.

Oleg are hardly not going down with tactics here. This is Julich/De Jongh earmarked.

Does anybody understand what Tinkoff are doing?

Re:

CN says Nieve in front group

That'll be why Saxo are pulling then, not letting him away. Its a good break shame it won't go.

Did you see the 2012 Tour de France?

 

[Velolover2]

Tinkoff absolutely brutal. Their first man is still pulling.

 

[Campervan man]

50 seconds! Saxo are up to something then. I have a good feeling it might be explosive today. Fingers crossed anyway!

 

[sir fly]

Working for Tinkov is a hard, hard labour.

 

[Netserk]

Juul-Jensen is quite decent. Better dom than Valgren imo.

Which are not others who cry between Abetone and Campitello?
Anyway , i also think they are pushing too. But Alberto has the experience and isn't an idiot. I trust him and what's doing

 

[SkyTears]

Tinkoff has a Sky inferiority syndrome , that's why wants his team acting the same

Re:

Not without some good benefits no doubt €€€€€€. This is a strange stage indeed. They know they're getting caught now. Some need to attack and make smaller selection.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Greipel suffering?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Greipel dropped

 

[SafeBet]

Either Tinkoff goes absolutely wild on Barbagelata, or Matthews will be the happiest man in the world. Most sprinters already in trouble, Greipel close to being dropped.

He's a few years older, so it's rather understandable.

Mezgec and Boonen popped

 

[motty89]

zardini going for mountains classification?

 

[Velolover2]

How many of the sprinters are still there? Only Matthews?

Re:

Lobato and Meersman still in. Haven't seen Viviani or Nizzolo dropped but not 100%

 

[meat puppet]

tinkoff tactics is rather absurd. hope that channelling sky 2012 is not what is to come.

other than that, nice to have action early on.

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol what are they doing,they need to save energy for tour

 

[Netserk]

So far only Juul-Jensen, Rovny and Tosatto have pulled. Neither will ride the Tour.

 

[SafeBet]

And this is a very short stage. They're not using that much energy so I don't really get all the fuss about it.
