Re: Re:

Cunego disappeared!?

Yes, interesting.
Might be saving himself for a latter stage. It is, after all, his prime goal.

Not surprising. He'll just take the easy points and win the mountain jersey without making the top 10 in a stage.

Cunego is back with the chasers!
RAI's man the bike just said

Re:

Why are Nibali and Amador behind? What happened?

Perhaps it was being ridden so slowly they both fell asleep

He finished 5th in stage 10

Re: Re:

Gonchar fought for years to get his name listed on TV and official documents correctly. No dice, still got listed as Honchar.

Several times we had the ludicrous situation of a guy explaining into the microphone for the millionth time that it's Gonchar with a G while the caption on the bottom lists 'Serhiy Honchar'

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".

Re: Re:

Hesjedal abandon, stomach issue

Shame! He could have shot for a top5 without that stomach issue.

He had a shot at top 5, along with 14 other riders. To think that he has a better shot than those riders is out there.

That makes sense.
He just couldn't disappear so quickly, no matter how slow he's been going.

Plaza human after all?

 

[luckyboy]

Wow Plaza lost a minute in like 2km huh Great timing systems

 

[del1962]

Think the chasers will split on this climb

SPOILER : MArtinelli said "they",the favourites, will probably fight on the Giau!!!!

[Txrt]

I took times, 1:40 for Ruben Plaza. The GPS is accurate as always...

Still no real consistency in reporting M Kadri as Blel rather than Biel.

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

True.

 

[del1962]

Where did Cunego come from

 

[staubsauger]

It was changend by the Italians by mistake if I remember correctly?

Same like they made Eugeni Berzin out of Evgeni / Yevgeniy / Jevgenij. Although Eugeni is simply the Italian version (well Eugenio in fact) of the name which is known as Eugen here in Germany. Eugeni is what the Italians call him as well I guess!?

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Well, linguistics aside, Siutsou goes! As it stands now, Nibali needs to pull about 4 minutes off him to stay ahead. It's starting to look like a proper attack on the top 5 unless they react on Giau.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Rojas, then Visconti, then Valverde

No Betancur

 

[Rollthedice]

Here it comes.

 

[Red Rick]

Astana time

 

[del1962]

Astana on the front

 

[Baldinger]

It's like Le Tour today.

Rare Zubeldia sighting

 

[markene2]

Amador looks tired!
