2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 6 Ponte – Roccaraso 157 km MTF

Re:

Greipel and Kittel in front of the peloton probably chatting about Germany's chances at Euro 2016 football.

What a nice player that Toni Kross is. If we can win 7-1 against Brazil, why not 8-0 over Spain? They are a old and Iniesta is as pale as my dead grandma. Rest in piece, granny. Did your grandma also die? Yeah, but life must go on, Marecllo. Either that or the WC in 2016.. no, you leadout, no, you!

Marry me Wellens.

You don't have to watch if its too boring for you. There's different sports going on as well in Italy y'know

 

[Ataraxus]

Piti bike fix?

 

[staubsauger]

I'm a pure nerd. There's beautiful summer weather outside and I'm watching a boring cycling race! Let me at least complain about it!

Lampre riding while Piti is back?

 

[Red Rick]

BigMac. Look at Lampre. IMPOSSIBRUUUUUUUUU

 

[staubsauger]

Ulissi immediately became the favorite once Valverde punctured! Guess that's why they pull now.

 

[johnymax]

Lampre very strong so far. After last year they are doing great in this Giro again.

If you squint your eyes a little bit it almost looks like actual teamwork when they do that.

I haven't accounted for riders that already abandoned and riders behind the peloton, but according to my calculations, the chance of the 9 Lampre riders riding at the front of the peloton randomly is less than one in a quadrillion (10^15)

So now we have to assess whether the chance of Lampre riding as a team is greater or smaller than that

6 minutes. They won't catch Wellens. Nice that he will finally get a big victory!

 

[Rollthedice]

Wellens got this in the bag.

 

[petiagos]

Are the peloton sleeping ???

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I don't get why Movistar aren't riding. Or Lampre.

 

[saganftw]

did cancellara freeze the peloton or something?

 

[vladimir]

Just back watching; what happened to Kolobnev?

 

[luckyboy]

Hasn't been the greatest start to a Giro so far, has it?

Movistar yes, Valverde had a very big chance to gain at least 10 seconds here. Astana and Sky happy.

They are waiting for other teams to work. It really looks like the break (Wellens) has it in the bag, but there's a lot of false flat and climbing left, so a strong team can still catch them, but they need to start pushing now.

Bisolti to surprise Wellens

The usual first weak mtf boring stage.

What's new?

 

[staubsauger]

Somehow now Cunego really missed this move.

 

[Laplaz]

Didier is not taking many turns... maybe he can surprise

 

[Cance > TheRest]

With this pace one of th escapees is going to be in Maglia Rosa by the end of the day

Re:

He doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to winning races, but as a Belgian I can never believe that a Belgian will win
