Bennett not there?

Sky dropping Henao and Elissonde on the descent Froome said something about where is Sergio

Don't think I've seen Astana riders in the front group.

Did I seriously miss something important again?

 

[Stella0596]

No, Sky stopped riding already.

Any word on various riders gearings today? Just heard Froome is running 34x32

Dumo 34x30
Yates 34x30

What does Froome talk about on the radio? He seems to talk to his DS more often than other team leaders.

They stopped because Henao was far behind when the split happened.

Hopefully we will see attacks on the next climbs.

Peloton is riding snail pace and the break isn't that strong.

Pozzo 36x32, if I heard correctly.

Reminds me of Giro 2012.

Froome learned a hard lesson in Angliru 2011. He's one of the few using such a short gear, which is the same gear Cobo had that day.

How much time will the break need at the foot of the Zoncolan?

I guess Conti could have a chance with five minutes.

Re: Giro 2018 stage 14:S.Vito Tagliamento-Monte Zoncolan 186

10 minutes based on the riders up front. Maybe a little less for Conti.

Re: Giro 2018 stage 14:S.Vito Tagliamento-Monte Zoncolan 186

Mads ain't gonna make it.

 

[Squire]

Some quick research shows that Conti would in fact need close to 10 minutes. Let's say he's between the 30th and 40th best climber in the race. Based on previous Zoncolan results, those guys finish at 8-10 minutes. Conti would probably put more effort in than the 40th placed rider from the peloton, but will also be more tired from being in the break.

 

[Red Rick]

Highly doubt riders go all out for 40th place.

Good choice, I think they should be fine with that. I rode it last year with 34-30, and it was comfortably enough for me despite only climbing at about 4.5w/kg, so they should have no problems unless they blow up completely. It's not like Angliru where the 32 is nice for the long 22%+ sections.
