Re:

Wilier managed to miss the break again it seems.

Haha, and now they are riding in front of the bunch.

Re:

First time we've seen an actual fight to get in to a breakaway.
Now the peloton will give them 15 minutes and slowly roll through to the finish

LOL

 

[classicomano]

Poor Willier, they look so silly now.

Scinto will actually murder them tonight if this doesn't come back at all or a Wilier rider doesn't bridge.

How could Willer miss that break when so many made it...I mean that is all they have to do

 

[The Barb]

Not a bad break. Lulu the obvious favourite but I kinda like Howes' chances.

Zhupa tried but hey don't really have any good rouleurs

Let's see how the gap will change on the climb. The Russians look stronger than Wilier.

Ladies and gents, the Giro has finally started!

 

[HelloDolly]

At least Gasprom and Willer have done more than most to open the race up

 

[sir fly]

Is it smarter to resurface the descending or the ascending side of the road?

 

[Gigs_98]

I've just read the peloton is less than a minute behind the break? Will they seriously catch a 16 men break?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Re:

Yes and thats because both teams dont have a GC rider

 

[gerundium]

well at least they won't be coming into blockhaus with completely fresh legs. A beast of a stage this is turning out to be. really hard start and will probably go on until after this climb.

 

[Brullnux]

Fun stage so far

 

[sir fly]

Today's stage stands out in the race so far.
In every sense.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Damn Luis Leon is beasting it today..

 

[Brullnux]

Has Sanchez played himself? He might be better off with a few other riders, I think he'll still be able to win with Visconti or Villella or the other in that group. That finish is fantastic for him.

 

[sir fly]

Lulu was an obvious choice for today, but only double digit odds.

 

[spalco]

I don't understand the time gaps. Is there only 20 seconds between the peloton and the main break?

This is the Giro, time gaps don't have to make sense.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

LuLu is such a stylish rider! If only the climb could go on for a little longer, so we could get even more pictures of him

 

[sir fly]

The other side of the hill resurfaced completely.
