Who can win the stage, if not a big favourite?

with "big favourite" you mean Battaglin and Felline?

the stage will be very difficult to control, I think a break will make it to the end. Although Nibali might be interested in testing his legs early on as this stage is a good test for sunday, which could lead to a very interesting outcome

I was noticing a Champion System guy in the front group until last few kms

13. Christopher Butler (USA) Champion System Pro Cycling Team

nice ride from him, who knows something more about him?

a rider again that was abused by bmc, one that could not handle the hard wt races, but in pure climbing is amazing. see his langkawi results fdor past years I thionk

Can we expect to see a Sky train form for the final two climbs to try to drop Bouet?

Cataldo and Felline have 45 on the peloton after 10km

Am I reading this right - have Sky just send somebody up the road in an early break?

Are they just taking the p*** now?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pozzo hit the deck, DNF.

 

[Eshnar]

That's interesting however. It could be that Sky brand new tactic for the Giro will be to put people in breakaways instead of trying to train-control the stage.

f*ckkkkkkk

 

[will10]

Pozzo or Pozzovivo? Assume the latter.

EDIT: Pozzo isn't riding so I echo Eschar's sentiments.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Elbow injury for the little guy. Hopefully its not to bad

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Gap up to 5 minutes already.

Sky is having fun at the

 

[Morbius]

Clever move by Sky. Force AG2R to do the early chasing, then punish them later.

 

[Pharazon]

does make Bouet 100% team leader now for AG2R

 

[Parrulo]

f*ckkkkkkk

GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!

is he hurt?

 

[theyoungest]

We need The Living Stench in the Giro. Him and Betancur would make a lethal couple.

Tactical genius!

I don't mind as long as they do something

Maybe having mastered one (the train), they know others will try and counter it, and are now 'road-testing' other tactics to keep 'in reserve'.

If so, that's just cruel is what is it, cruel. The SkyBorg Express is already all but impossible to break; if they start adding new stuff to the arsenal just for sh!ts and giggles...

where's Dan martin when you need him!

where's Dan martin when you need him!

Or another semi-serious threat whom no one bothers to chase.

I guess they learned something during last TA.
