According to the English commentators Gesink held pink in the Giro for a few days

They are actually confusing Gesink with Weening... wow...that's ... sad

LOL NOW HE SAYS HE CHATTED WITH GESINK IN THE GIRO!!

 

[Havetts]

Gesink in pink

Yep, commentators these days.

 

[Havetts]

Hahaha, spoke to Gesink post stages in the Giro.. oh wow

 

[Parrulo]

lol the commentators . . . .

 

[LaFleur]

What the hell, they have been talking 3-4 minutes about Gesink being in the Giro!! I can understand the other commentator, but Backstedt!!!

 

[LaFleur]

lol the commentators . . . .

Big-ish, nothing happening atm, the gap isn't even coming down.

 

[zapata]

I would guess on the last lap, maybe the penultimate. So at least an hour and a bit to wait.

still 67k to go. tbh i don't know when stuff will start to happen but when it does if i am still online(may have to leave) i will let you know on this thread.

Thanks! I guess I'll just refresh this thread once in a while for the next hour, and turn on the stream in time.

Apropos streams, the race should be live on radio canada at 21:00 CET. This was the best stream yesterday, as it did not constantly freeze.

Yep this is a really good stream, + you get to listen to the funny Qébécois accent.

A little story from last year's edition. Kirby and Backstedt couldn't even get the lap count right.
As a result, when Gesink attacked and amazingly held the chase group off, we had this bland, almost comatosed wafflely chat, all through the final lap, right up until Gesink crossed the line and he celebrated the victory.
We had: "What, er, what's happening there then? oh we seem to have miscounted and that's it then. Where's EBH gone?".
A total and utter

starts their transmission

I am impressed by Rabobus. Guess Gesink likes his races hard if they are willing to be aggressive this early.

He does, thats why they raced so hard in the AGR too. But then he cramped up due to his bad form.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Niermann can't keep up with Flecha. The only thing he is good as is keeping Gesink out of the wind. Other than that Niermann never does anything, at all, but fail

 

[jens_attacks]

di luca dropping back.training done,still hate to see him like that

 

[Havetts]

I like Niermann actually, extremely loyal cyclist and doesnt complain and works hard for his leaders.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Di Luca dropped as first man from the break.

Are you effin kidding me? Hahaha

 

[meat puppet]

Wohoo, was that Veikkanen driving the bunch?

 

[Havetts]

Someone from QS with a huge gear breaking away.

 

[roundabout]

This is a longer climb than I remember from last year.
