2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 14: Farra d'Alpago–Corvara 210 km

[GuyIncognito]

Capecchi goes to the front, pulls for 3 seconds and blow up
ok, that was pretty funny

 

[Rollthedice]

Only Valverde from Movi in front.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Nico Roche actually resembles Froome. Doppelgangers.

 

[Red Rick]

MR group dwindling down really quickly

 

[sir fly]

Have you seen Ruben Plaza's facial expression?
That's the altitude catching him.

 

[Txrt]

I have big expectations for Chaves and Majka today.

Re:

Rare Zubeldia sighting

He really is a ninja. I thought he was 10th in California. Could it be a body double?

Roche struggling

Hope you won't be dissapointed

Re: Re:

They're counting on Siutsov and Ulissi losing hard on Giau and Valparola it seems...Could Astana+Movi be seriously underrating their threat? I wouldn't be confortable with Kastantsin having 2 or 3 minutes advantage in the Pink...

His name is Konstantin Sivcov. No Kastantsin, Kanstantsin or whatever else.

Канстанцін Сіўцоў in Belarusian. That transliterates exactly as Kanstantsin Siutsou.

I think that it transliterates Kanstantsin Siwtsow actually

Wait, who's that guy at the back of the peloton with number 9 at the end?

Re: Re:

Do you have a link to him saying it the Russian way? Because I distinctly remember everybody referred to him as "Gonchar" (or, well, "Gontchar"; French spellings are everywhere in cycling) back in 1997, and the later switch to "Honchar".

Pronouncing it? Nope. I just remember him saying it over and over
Google search only comes up with this

Thanks! That settles it for me.

I was confused because a Spanish magazine reported the story pretty much the other way around ("I finally got my documents to say 'Honchar' correctly, please call me that") back in the day, but I guess they just got it wrong.

Plaza Molina looks like being on a 25% stretch!

 

[whittashau]

When did Capecci get so crap?

Re:

He's shorter and heavier, not nearly as skeletal. Probably too heavy for a stage like today to be honest. In his dad's day you could be a GC rider with a build like that, but these days there are more mountains and fewer time trials, plus a weight loss arms race. Always wished he'd given the classics a proper go to be honest, rather than wasting his time chasing top 10s with French teams.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

They will go straight past Plaza

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali is riding more next to his train than in it.

 

[Guybrush]

who is the other Lotto NL?

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Zaka hanging back or showing weakness here.

 

[meat puppet]

Movi led all day and when it matters even a bit only Valverde and Amador can cope. Brilliant tactics.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Plaza reminds me of Induráin.
He's taller and almost the same weight, watching him climb dwarfing his bike is just odd

20 now in the main group
