Battle of the Super Domestique - Giro 2011

[whittashau]

Niemec and Nieve have been good. If anything I think Niemec would be doing just as good if not better than Scarponi if he was the Lampre leader. Agnoli and Szymd have both been sick otherwise I think they would have been more prominent for Liquigas.

Battle ended today:

His team leader had a disaster. Id say that some horrible superdomestiquing

Niemiec is clearly the winner.

Niemiec is clearly the winner.

His team leader told him to go in the break. Thus I'd say he more than satisfied the wishes of his team leader

Nieve for now, Dupont, Niemiec and Moreno riding for a lost cause. Skip to TOC riding by Busche or wait till TDF

With Anton saying he was going for Stage wins (success!) and Nieve now high up in GC, will he now be the leader on the road for them to try and maintain his top 5 GC?

Don't know the original source, but this is courtesy of ibanmayoblog.com that is always spot on when it comes to Euskaltel news:

Despite now occupying a remarkable fifth overall, and with team-leader Antón down in 11th, Nieve played down the option of going for a high overall placing for himself. "There's no way I'm the captain of the team. Igor will pass me on GC after the mountain time trial on Tuesday. I remain at his service. If I finish inside the top 10 I'll be pleased. If not, I won't be too disappointed."
