Giro del Trentino 2013

[spalco]

not really, i don't think there is any leader who cares about winning trentino overall .not even domenico

Then they might as well ride hard to train better, no?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pretty ballsy of the big teams to let the gap go out like that, they must be quite confident in their leaders...

Go nothing to do with big balls, in fact I would say the exact opposite is the case.

 

[Ferminal]

congrats to bouet for the giro del trentino overall victory

Might mean we get full gas sky train though

 

[spalco]

The gap's even increasing again now it seems.

 

[Swarley]

This is a little bit of a surprise. 9 minutes with 25km remaining. OTOH I expect them to have 5 minutes the most at the end of the stage.

For this afternoon's stage, is that stat still true that Sky haven't won a TTT since they formed? Could be their best chance to break that duck I guess, though maybe they'll find a way to mess it up.

They won the first ever TTT they did back in Qatar 2010 but haven't won one since.

Sky won the TTT in the 2010 Tour of Qatar.

It really is. Would have thought bmc might ride for blythe but they've only sent 7 riders so maybe using that as an excuse or everyones saving for the ttt

after 114km. Situation:

1° Rodriguez (97, Colombia)
2° Bouet (5, Ag2R) 17"
3° Van Rensburg (143, MTN) 45"

Go Colombia.

 

[Swarley]

Rodriguez first on the Iselsberg. Still, I don't know if 17'' is enough to win. Bouet is good on the downhill and also in sprints.

If Bouet is dropped on this climb by the Colombian, he will be dropped later again.

I was talking about this stage.

 

[jens_attacks]

well seems like being colombian is enough to beat bouet
never thought rodriguez is a big talent but most likely he will win this race. congrats to him, it would be such a great victory for the team

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

HOLY **** rodriguez dropped everyone in climb

it seems finally they are getting into some shape??!!

I hope so. They had a very quiet start of the season, and time wasn't on their side with just a couple of weeks before the Giro.

he was very strong from young age rodriguez. his results were always amazing, but he suffered last few years from being in corti's team.... a pure climber though so I hope he doesn't drop in ttt

 

[spalco]

What's a "Cerny"? Never heard that term before.

 

[jens_attacks]

never mind seems like their infos were wrong. cerny at the front

 

[spalco]

Aso, it's one of the riders. I'm stupid.

It would be beyond *** of their team to drop him in the ttt

He's very young, only 19 years old.
