Giro 2013 Stage 11: Tarvisio (Cave del Predil) - Vajont 1963/2013 (Erto e Casso)

[ILovecycling]

Will Sky roll the train out and try to control the race? Fail if they do, but it is the only tactic they know.

Ohh Uran was invisible

 

[veganrob]

If they are going to ride for Uran then I agree. But if they are still trying to get BW on the top step then they are failing.
Sorry I didn't make that point

Not that impressive when you look at the stage profile

High, but it's downhill.

Everybody wants to be in the break

It is hard to get a break going on this type of slightly downhill terrain. Everyone feels like Cancellara at Roubax when riding at -1.5%.

 

[Eshnar]

High, but it's downhill.

2-3%... High nevertheless

We finally have a breakaway
20 riders, 3'35''

Navardauskas, Bonnafond, Rodriguez, Pirazzi, Martens, Oss, Duque, Saramiento, Martinez, Le Bon, Gusev, Cobo Acebo ,Pauwels, Keukeleire, Popovych, Puccio, Gretsch, Petrov, Veuchelen and Di Luca.

20 riders in the breakaway..


killer,cobo ,pirazzi !!!!!!!!!!!wow wowaow _O_

 

[Hugo Koblet]

This one is for Di Luca.

 

[Roderick]

Killer-time!!!

 

[vladimir]

Egoi Martinez celebrates his 35th birthday today. Would be great if he could win, but a top three is probably more realistic if the break stays clear

 

[TomasC]

That is correct. That would be the Vajont Dam which became the Vajont Disaster. The tragedy happened in 1963 - 50 years ago this year - which is likely a reason why the Giro visit Vajont this year.

The peloton will pass through Longarone, the village that was destroyed in 1963 (among others). Time to remember the 2000 people that perished then.
Sorry for being slightly OT.

Considering the finish climb is easy, there will probably be about 5 of them together at the base of the final climb.

I don't think that's off topic at all

 

[Leonardus]

Finally a break, who of them will win? Di Luca with the best chances?

If he can stay with them all the way, Duque, Oss or Martens could have the most speed at the end. But even if this group manages to stay away, I doubt that most of them will arrive together, so probably Di Luca or Pauwels.

 

[l.Harm]

Every team except Astana one rider in the break?

I think Di Luca and Pauwels spent too much energy yesterday to be among the main contenders today. Cobo is the obvious choice for me.

Navardauskas, Bonnafond, Rodriguez, Pirazzi, Martens, Oss, Duque, Saramiento, Martinez, Le Bon, Gusev, Cobo Acebo ,Pauwels, Keukeleire, Popovych, Puccio, Gretsch, Petrov, Veuchelen and Di Luca.

Stage winner is one of those names.

Let's go for Petrov FTW.

Turns out Lampre and Lotto also have nobody in the break

 

[King Boonen]

Lotto and Lampre missing I think.
