Another ticker just starting.

 

[WL Irish]

I love the translations of the tickers. There are 30 fugitives 7:30 ahead with 70km to go. At this point I would consider them to be less of fugitives, and more of "runners" or a different term that gets lost in translation. It would be sweet if they could get us a rundown of who all is there

Thanks for that! Alright Garmin! Way to miss the boat on that one! Anyway, interesting group, for sure. I'd love Txurruka to win, but if I were to bet, I'd takle GVA or Roche.

and also Vanendert will miss Lombardia

 

[roundabout]

There are 5 BMC riders though

It's quite an accomplishment for Garmin to miss a decisive 30 man break. Are they the only team that managed it?

 

[Lupetto]

Go Greg!!

nope, HTC managed too

HTC too, unless I'm missing someone.

I think HTC missed it as well. And Colnago and Androni.

Bennati is quickest there but might get worked over. Its Van Avermaets to lose by the looks of things.

It will be interesting to see if the group splinters or if it will be a sprint from this mini "peloton". Ag2r have three riders, for instance, but none of them are going to win a sprint against Bennati or GVA.

 

[Tuarts]

Just a boring sprint stage then! Team Argyle-Nevermore to bring it at back.

 

[TeoSheva]

Bennati is quickest there but might get worked over. Its Van Avermaets to lose by the looks of things.

also Colli is quick there...

 

[Duartista]

Group has split in two under pressure from Lovkvist.

 

[hatcher]

Rimangono in 14 al comando: Roche, Frank, Santaromita, Van Avermaet, Voeckler, Moreno, Paolini, Rodriguez, Niemiec, Bennati, Zaugg, Nibali, Steensen e Lövkvist

I'm glad someone had the sense not to leave it to a sprint. Who is in which group?

 

[roundabout]

looking at the time schedule the race should be over by now

anything on twitter?

Rimangono in 14 al comando: Roche, Frank, Santaromita, Van Avermaet, Voeckler, Moreno, Paolini, Rodriguez, Niemiec, Bennati, Zaugg, Nibali, Steensen e Lövkvist

So most of the helpers are gone but the big guns from the 30 man break are still there.

 

[hatcher]

Daniel Moreno wins.
