Giro 2011: Stage 16 Belluno - Nevegal12.7 km ITT

[Kwibus]

Oh dear... This is a humiliation for all the others riders in this Giro.

I expected him to win, but with such a huge margin.. wow.

 

[Big GMaC]

1.52 to go for Rujano to get on the June 6th Podium

Damn it! I couldn't see the stage from office! Internet was down.

 

[Kwibus]

He definately used the 20 seconds bonus on the flat on Rujano and 9 seconds on Scarponi well

He did indeed. vs riders that climb better he took time where he could take it and beat both of them.

Rujano leaps Nieve on GC, only Gadret to go for his June podium tbh he could probably make that 2 minutes in the flat TT on Gadret

The only thing you missed was Contador putting more time into everyone.

Podium fight should be good. Gotta assume it is between scarponi, nibbles and rujano (sorry Gadret, I think our doing a great GT, but I can't see podium)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Next 3 stages breakaways?

Sestriere 2005 = Sestriere 2011

I think Gadret will still be 4th at the start of the TT but not by the end of it

Why cant people like Menchov, Kreuziger, Gesink, van den Broeck.... be the best, but it has to be Contador and Armstrong???

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Give it up man, Nibali is doing a good ride in this Giro.

+1 sounds like a broken record.



@will. I agree, he is a pretty awful tt'r.

I imagine that for most, being the best goes along with having an out-sized ego. I'd hold up Bode Miller as an exception - by most accounts a great guy and also happens to be the best male skier the USA has ever seen.

i think on an average contador has taken more than 40 sec off nibali every mountain stage.

Contador is a much nicer person than Armstrong. Well, he seems to be at least.

 

[roundabout]

about Contador about 1km to go "I don't think this man is on the best of form"

He isn't. Only 6.3 w/kg or so for the final 21 minutes from the split.

Yes he proven that on Port de Balès

 

[GoAndyGo]

Hahaha all the Italians watching the podium presentation on the wall look mad. They are all like What the hell? Again? I don't think one of them were smiling.

How did Smydz do? he could be immense for Nibali in the next four stages.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Great rides from Nibali, Scarponi, Little Jose and Old Man Garzelli and Young Man Kruiswijk.
Result though, as expected.

 

[GoAndyGo]

Sigh....

Bad memories

 

[Flamin]

Contador dedicates his win to Tondo. Nice.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yes he proven that on Port de Balès

Yep, in the future, Contador should wait for rivals who forget how to shift.



Contador is 100% class and he's taking the other riders to school.

I dont know about you but I m a fan of Ulrich.....

That shifting can be very tricky.
