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

[Eclipse]

Re:

Nibali's empty.
He can't close a second on the descent.

Descent just too open and easy to make much of a dent on anyone. Gaps are virtually identical for every group from the top

 

[inacion]

Atapuma deserves to win, but I don't think he will make it

Vamos PUMA!!!!!!

Re:

Chaves holding back for his buddy Atapuma?

I don't think he's so ***. Atapuma simply descended great. Also, if they catch him, Chaves is the most explosive one.

lol : Nibali is only 15s behind Chaves/Atapuma...

Re: Re:

This reminds me of another stage in this region. Stage 17 in 2002

Was that the one cadel lost the lead?

Yes.Finishing atop Passo Coe

Yeah, he was with the leaders with 7kms to go to the top. Blew so spectacularly that by the time the podium ceremonies ended and the tv feed said goodbye he hadn't finished.

Wasn't the only one. All the GC guys except 2 of them exploded that day. Hell even super-breakaway-man finally bonked for the first time ever that day.

It was so so odd

 

[sir fly]

Puma on the cat's wall... It really was obvious.

Atapuma doing a great descent.

Why isn't the second AG2R guy (Monta?) pulling with Valverde and Amador?

Can Nib keep it up when it goes up again?

Re:

I know I dissed Nibali quite harshly last week. But let's not make him a worse rider than he is, just because apparently now it looks he ain't as big as everyone including himself was rating him. It's unfair somehow!

Indeed, it's crazy to write him off for losing 30 seconds on a 5500m mountain stage - when there are still five or six days left to gain huge time.

 

[HelloDolly]

Those Ag2R riders have very strange pedal strokes

This stage is so hard and so high its made for the Colombians

 

[SergeDeM]

Giro podium clearing up?

 

[Rollthedice]

There's another wall coming, it ain't over yet.

 

[jaylew]

C'mon Chaves!

 

[Scarponi]

Hahaha holy *** that Moto showed no mercy

 

[webvan]

Nibali almost back? Doesn't look like it....

 

[70kmph]

Kelly laughed

 

[TomLPC]

Incredible crowd

 

[SeriousSam]

Nibali is only 10s behind

 

[Rollthedice]

[markene2]

[jsem94]

Re:
