[Ryo Hazuki]

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

cerny rode amazing downhil. they are now with 3 in front

 

[JRanton]

We now have to wait for the pigeons to be released at the finish line.

 

[Swarley]

Bouet takes it. No surprise there.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Final result

1° Bouet
2° Cerny
3° Rodriguez

 

[jens_attacks]

as expected, bouet the strongest sprinter

i hope rodriguez will take the overall

 

[spalco]

The big teams are really being disrespectful to this nice little race if the gaps were reported correctly imo; hopefully the peloton comes in at <5 minutes at least.

 

[wwabbit]

Will the peloton make it in before the cut off time?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

as expected, bouet the strongest sprinter

i hope rodriguez will take the overall

that would be amazing and is possible if he's in good shape

 

[l.Harm]

Organizers must be angry

 

[jens_attacks]

they will arrive probably with still 9 minutes. the organizers must be proud of them. they hyped the race fine and no one gave a shiit about it

well, it makes it a little more easier to find someone to cheer for in this race.

Edit: Peloton came in around 7 minutes.

 

[jens_attacks]

7 minutes....they will have to race at tour de france speed to beat rodriguez and bouet. it won't happen. congrats to them for being at the right place,at the right moment

 

[JRanton]

Peloton finishes over 7 minutes down. Race over.

Makes me a little bit mad. Not that I care particularly about the Giro del Trentino either, but if you're there then go ****ing race, you bums.

TTT reminder (this afternoon at 16:00 CEST).

Team colombia could drop 60-90s here, maybe even a bit more.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

to who? ag2r and ccc? lol

 

[wirral]

Always like this this race, not really a real race. I am not sure why this is the case.

It's a training race. No one's bothered. Unless you're Pozzovivo or someone like that.

it is true. but still if you look at the last years winners list, it probably deserves a little more respect from the teams

2001 Francesco Casagrande (ITA) Fassa Bortolo
2002 Francesco Casagrande (ITA) Fassa Bortolo
2003 Gilberto Simoni (ITA) Saeco Macchine per Caffè
2004 Damiano Cunego (ITA) Saeco Macchine per Caffè
2005 Julio Alberto Pérez (MEX) Ceramica Panaria-Navigare
2006 Damiano Cunego (ITA) Lampre-Fondital
2007 Damiano Cunego (ITA) Lampre-Fondital
2008 Vincenzo Nibali (ITA) Liquigas
2009 Ivan Basso (ITA) Liquigas
2010 Alexandre Vinokourov (KAZ) Astana
2011 Michele Scarponi (ITA) Lampre-ISD
2012 Domenico Pozzovivo (ITA) Colnago-CSF Bardiani

 

[brilleaben]

It makes sense. Italian WT teams are pretty bad, and Bardiani has no Pozzovivo anymore.

 

[wirral]

It's a training race. No one's bothered. Unless you're Pozzovivo or someone like that.

Yes, I take your point.

But if you compare it to the Tour of Romandy or the Dauphine or the Tour of Switzerland, it is not even comparable. Obviously they are World Tour races with World Tour Points and they have more history and prestige.

There just seems to be something "Mickey Mouse" about this race.

 

[HiCadence]

Everyone was probably expecting SKY to do all the work.

 

[will10]

Probably too hard a stage with the ttt later. And I certainly wouldn't rule out the top guys taking 7 mins back on this parcours.

Re sky ttt: they've never won one on tt bikes.
