Baby Giro 2012

[Ruudz0r]

Aru vs Dombrowski I guess for overall.

Barbin will take at least 1 stage I guess.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Dombrowski for the win, USA baby!!!!

Rai Sport 2 has the usual 50 odd minutes of coverage, each evening, usually, but not exclusively, around the 19-00CET mark.

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Durtschi and Berry already out. Huge blow for Dombrowskis GC ambitions.

 

[Jakob747]

Jakub Novak to take the TT this afternoon. Matteo Mammini will come close and finish second!

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Let's see if Mammini suffered too much yesterday. Riders like Leonardi, Sheppard or Stockhausen may play a role, too.

But I agree, Novak is the big favorite.

As Aru has his pro contract already in his pocket maybe he'll lack that last piece of ambition.

I see your point. Though I seem to recall one of the reasons he opted to stay at U23 for the first half of the season was this...win the Baby Giro.

If anyone grabs a link to rai higlights I would be most grateful.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Lol mammini in 52nd place.

Nice win by Dal Col have to say I didnt really know this guy so a surprise for me that he beated Novak.

 

[janraaskalt]

Lol mammini in 52nd place.

He had to cope with a dog traversing the road.

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

1. Joe Dombrowski
2. Fabio Aru + 0:50
3. Ilnur Zakarin + 0:55
4. Francesco Manuel Bongiorno + 1:14

Dombrowski absolutely destroyed those Italians. Wow.

 

[hatcher]

Yowser. The boy is gonna be good.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Wow thats impressive :O

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, Aru got Dombrowski'd.

 

[Bushman]

What a talent dombrowski is. I sincerely hope he won't go to BMC When he turns professional....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well after AtoC you could've seen it coming.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wow that indeed is very impressive. Aru is very good this season as well. Will be interesting to see him at Astana come August.

 

[janraaskalt]

Well after AtoC you could've seen it coming.

Before the ToC you could also have seen it coming

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Before the ToC you could also have seen it coming

Not for me, before ToC I thought Aru would be a real challenge

 

[gustienordic]

Dombrowski would do well at Liquigas I think! Or maybe Lampre... I would hate to see him ride for RSNT or BMC! Garmin would be alright I suppose.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Dombrowski is definitely a super talent, but it'll be interesting to see which team he picks. I think Garmin would be the right fit myself.

 

[Azabael]

Impressive stuff by Dombrowski. Garmin indeed seems to be the most obviosu choice. BMC is a candidate as well. Astana wouldn't surprise me either.

 

[dlwssonic]

Wow dombrowski.......
He is just another huge american talent.
BMC better throw their money at something that is actually worth it, like dombrowski.

But I suspect he will go RSNT.

 

[theyoungest]

Really amazing climber that guy is. The American answer to Quintana.
