Giro del Piemonte 1.HC 199km (13/10)

[Peccio89]

Blimey, that's the strongest Euskaltel line up of the season. (or is that an oxymoron?)
Still down to be shown live on RS 2.................................

i'm afraid is just a mistake, as with emilia. They will probably show the usal one hour highlights at 18 30 and 22 30, that by the way is not so bad considering people have to work in the afternoon.

Just to be completely different, I fancy an HTC rider to win this one. Albasini?

 

[hfer07]

apart from Gilbert, I'm going to throw a few names:

Gatto
Visconti
Samu Sanchez
Gerrans
Lovkvist
Voeckler

Put this in a grand tour and it'd be a sprint finish.

Yes. Unless Gilbert rides this particular grand tour.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Does anyone know why Ratto isnt riding any of these Italian races? I was expecting that he would show hisself this autumn, is he injured?

 

[will10]

Put this in a grand tour and it'd be a sprint finish. This time of the year, who knows.

I'll go Modolo.

Never in a million years.

Not riding. Sky already threw that name themselves.

I was only joking man



I certainly am not a fan of Cipo. Saying Pippo cares about his looks is an understatement.

Anyway, do sprinters usually win this race? Looks kinda flat.

Standard behaviour for Italians in the spotlight. Hollywood A list celebs regularly do similar for adverts in Italy.

May be a ticker just starting. I think they're just going off twitter reports though.

First TV highlights now advertised at 21.02 RaiSport 2.

It's looking good for the 20 man break - they have 7m30s with only 70 km to go -
the only member of the break I can see listed is Bennati

Kristof or Jurgen?

Jurgen, OPL

 

[Lupetto]

Vincenzo Nibali, Alessandro Petacchi, Daniele Bennati, Thomas Voeckler and Luca Paolini are also in the break.

Google translate reads like Cav might be in the break. I'm guessing that's a bad translation.

Cavendish abandoned

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Thanks for the correction TeoSheva.

http://www.ciclo-news.com/2011/10/13/giro-del-piemonte-2011-live/ is stuck at 14.23 for me - have you a better ticker/tweeter?

 

[hatcher]

Cavendish abandoned

Ah, thanks.

Cav actually pulled out... Would like to see Paolini win
