androids full support for rujano now.sella will go ballistic with one-two climbs to go just to pace him.
gadret...he seems to me like a young version of piepoli,he's not that good.but he still has time.perfect attack.
savio,i hope you did the right thing...six minutes is a lot though.

Heard he crashed right at the start of the stage so must have been hurt to finish back there.
Contador finished without a team mate...again. Closest were 2:54 back. Given that the last 3km's were "no favors", I would have thought he would have liked to have a team mate around, just in case.

I don't know if they are all horribly out of form, or dancing with the devil trying to take it very easy until the weekend.
Lovely, day, lovely Le Marche, lovely Le Mevel and not so lovely Gianni Gadret!
Great little stage. Total animation from flag to finish line. A parallel universe to a rolling stage in the Tour.
Thanks to Androni, for doing all the chasing, though tactically, I thought it stupid.

Anton is only 2:21 back. He will be very dangerous for Scarponi and Nibali over the weekend. Stages 14/15 suit him down to the ground.
Could also be Androni wanted Contador to stay in pink keep the team working hard - Contador might loss a few soldiers early in the war ?
they thought Serpa, who isn't slow on this type of finish, could win the stage. And ofcourse a part is keeping Rujano safeEscarabajo said:
haven't seen anything except bits of the CN ticker and top 3
what time bonus did purito get out of second? worth it?
why would Androni have done all that chasing - seems a bit daft

12 seconds. And he has to start regaining time somewhere, so today is as good of a day as any.

There you go! Enjoy it!
Wergeland said:
BTW He was the first to congratulate him in Twitter!
Dekker_Tifosi said:Rujano in the same time as other favorites
good to see that Rodriguez (2nd) and Menchov (11th) are improving
Purito's form coming just in time for Zoncolan - Dolomites!
Ferminal said:
Confirmed today... Michele is offpeaking this finish suited him perfectly but He was empty... I fear the worst...
Duartista said:
This finish was very good for Serpa, He was 4th... Sella took it easy at the finish, look for him in the big mountains that are coming...
maltiv said:
The finish didnt suit him and He's still building up... He will be there for the real steep stuff...
Congratz to Gadret! that was a nice attack his form is really good!
Visconti too late =(
The same for Purito!
Serpa very good! his form is very good! Androni having a great Giro IMO...
Now Contador outsprinting Roman, Michele and Nibali in a finish that didnt suit him... starting to peak just in time for the BIG weekend...
Saxo was really good today... and looked pretty solid... but They are taking big risks resting the riders in the final... but They will be pretty fresh for the big mountains...
BTW... Nice to see Fischer negotiating with Alberto ahahahaha... poor Le Mevel looks like He is not going to have La Maglia Rosa in this Giro

No Contador lost the sprint to Rodriguez, he OBVIOUSLY is in bad shape.
Nice attack by Gadret, exactly when Nibali didn't use the work of Capecchi and the group slowed a bit.
Perfect timing!
Someone asked before about Petacchi sticking around for the points classification; he doesn't stay and he's leaving tomorrow, with the last sprinters stage.

I doubt he would even have had a chance against COntador. I'm guessing he is aiming at all three the jerseys, the GC, the points and the mountain jersey. And quite frankly it is quite frankly that he has a decent shot at getting all the jerseys and maintaining them
