EF should play the Uran-card now to put pressure under the rest of the teams.

They have Woods for the final lap.

Re: Re:

Geniez looks quite strong.

But looks like a cow on ice descending in this wet.

His trademark leg-out descending technique.

I'm amazed there are no crashes so far. Hopefully I don't jinx it now...

 

[Velolover2]

De Marchi definitely has a chance. I think he will win. This race is anything a Ardennes classics is supposed to be.

 

[Climbing]

Very hard to catch, gogo De Marchi!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Loved Mohoric's
Froome imitation
zigzag

 

[Climbing]

No images, but they say 50 sec at -7 km.

Re:

I don't see a way he's losing that.

 

[Velolover2]

The other teams should have used their lieutenants on the penultimate climb (Uran, Pozzovivo, Fuglsang, Kreuziger, Kruijswijk, Latour)

What a missed opportunity.. De Marchi deserves this.

 

[46&twoWheels]

28 seconds now(brambilla and mohoric?)

 

[Velolover2]

Brambilla dropping (!) Mohoric downhill. And THEN gets a puncture.

Still sure that De Marchi got this.

 

[Climbing]

Horrible horrible luck for Brambilla.
De Marchi got this.

 

[Andy262]

Unbelieavable place to get a mechanical

 

[46&twoWheels]

Race for second will be interesting

 

[LaFlorecita]

Damn rotten luck for Brambi
and Felline just rode past him

 

[Velolover2]

Bernal riding for Moscon.

But it's too late. Teams should have used their lieutenants way earlier.

 

[46&twoWheels]

Go de marchi. Theyre coming for you

 

[Velolover2]

Teuns marking Woods but not Uran.

 

[Inquitus]

8 seconds, if the chase hadn't fecked around they could have caught him!

 

[Laplaz]

So happy for De Marchi, great win for him

 

[jaylew]

Uran not too far back in the end

 

[Velolover2]

Well deserved win for De Marchi.

They should have played out Uran and Pozzovivo before who where in great shape.

 

[Andy262]

Delighted fir De Marchi. Very deserved.

 

[Rollthedice]

Bravo De Marchi!

 

[Climbing]

Nice! Should always attack early in this weather!

Nibali back in decent shape!

 

[Squire]

So Teuns basically won the race for De Marchi by being able to keep up with Woods.
