Re: Re:

Anyone got an idea why Astana are pulling?

Riding for Christophr Froomokourov, obvs.

Formolo's a threat to Scarponi.

To Scarponi's 9th place. A Giro winner's 9th place.

Formolo is about as much of a threat to me.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

I like scarponi but really hoping for him to lose 3min to froome....

Re:

Hard to see big gaps on this one, should favour Froome more than today, looks hard for Quintana to gain time tomorrow,

...and another great quote from page 1.

Oh no.

 

[sir fly]

It's just a matter of gap size now.
And it looks like it'll be decent.
For Quintana, off course.

Re: Re:

Why are none of the people complaning about Astana also complaining about Etixx? :lol:

Cos they know full well this is a favour being called in from de la Cruz's day in red. The reason for Astana's willingness to help Sky is not yet apparent.

Shouldnt Quintana be docked 2 minutes for that @la porte?

I thought teams were supposed to be capped at 9 riders !

That's a bit of a risk :lol:

 

[spalco]

I'm a Froome supporter, but I have to admit it's nice to see real racing firstly, and also secondly seeing him sweat. It's always boring when somebody is too confident of winning.

Brambilla and de la Cruz are fighting for the stage win. They have plausible deniability.

Oh no.

He doesn't even consider himself a Giro winner

Yes I agree, for some reason as a froome fan it's always more enjoyable to see him on the ropes like this, more tension.

Take it to the Clinic, guys. Them's the rules and Scarponi won that Giro as far as this section is concerned.

 

[sir fly]

25 minutes back to the trailing group...
Know what, Tomorrow's going to be fast, as well.

 

[klintE]

Contador working as a coach

Re: Re:

The day with the shitty climbs. Not much will happen.

I see.

Earlier this thread I allready mentioned I'm more than happy to be wrong.

Not from Sky, they don't have the nouse.

 

[Scarponi]

Scarponis battles with Nibali in that 2011 giro was pretty good though

To Scarponi's 9th place. A Giro winner's 9th place.

It is not the thinking of a proper Giro winner to care about 9th.

Hey hey the threads about the giro 2011 clearly mention contador though

 

[Random Direction]

Well, the former giro winner will move up at least 8th...

That's funny, because Scarponi still says Contador won that Giro. Durrr

 

[Laplaz]

LLS is ridicously strong
