Giro del Trentino 2013

[stefrees]

I thought Astana would do a bit better than that. Sky don't have a very good team for the TTT but I guess Wiggins might have made the difference.

In terms of a ttt team, sky's is good- knees, pâté, cataldo, suitsou, kennaugh and wiggins all good engines

 

[Eshnar]

14kms and they wouldnt go full gas?
Its not gonna kill them!

They'll do the best they can now. I mean they're not in full shape.

 

[RHRH19861986]

New general classification:
1. Cerny (CCVC Polsat)
2. Bouet (AG2R) +11"
3. Rodriguez (Colombia) + 16"
4. Van Rensburg (MTN Qhubeka)+44"
5. Kochetkov (Rusvelo) +49"

Cerny will have a grin from London to Beijing on his face after today

 

[jens_attacks]

kudos to cerny, that gotta be special for rebellin's team this day
now that he is in pole position let's see if wiggo will decide to go for it

 

[barmaher]

So Wiggins is 6 minutes down, with Scarponi and Niemic a further 16 seconds back.

I think it will make for an interesting few days.

They had a similar team in Tirreno that lost 5 seconds to Astana over a similar distance: Froome, Cataldo, Knees, Kennaugh, Dombrowski, Uran, Henao, Puccio

So today Wiggins, Siutsou, Pate and Zandio instead of Froome, Puccio, Uran and Henao

Astana were missing Brajkovic today from their Tirreno team.

Ryo assures us that Uran and Henao are very good engines in a TTT so I can't imagine what went wrong at Tirreno.

Bouet to pull a Kivilev.

Bouet to pull a Kivilev.

man don't say like that. people will misinterpret this

 

[Dazed and Confused]

ok, stage 2 starts at 9am or so (CEST). Sillian-Vetriolo-Terme (225km)

Profile again:

Last 5kms:

So grinding CCC to death or Sky to set the turbo on?

Could be a bit of both.

 

[Leadbelly]

or another breakaway to win by seven minutes.

wiggins >>>>> froome obviously. makes a ton of difference

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

anyone found a full result yet with individual riders times of the ttt?

 

[JRanton]

or another breakaway to win by seven minutes.

The big GC teams should try and get one of their second tier guys in the break. Somone like Cataldo for Sky, Kessiakoff for Astana etc.

 

[sucotash]

It might be intresting tomorrow, CCC for sure will not be able to control the race.

 

[Ninouka]

anyone found a full result yet with individual riders times of the ttt?

The results are on the official website now under "official documents" tab

 

[jens_attacks]

rodriguez looks good to survive no matter what.check how he dropped them on the climb

who said that sky can't have fun?

oh it does remind of some good times

 

[Miburo]

who said that sky can't have fun?

No one ever said that.

They just ruin the fun for others

 

[jens_attacks]

nah it was nibali who said that at sky table no one talks. at italians table is always joy and happiness

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

oh it does remind of some good times

Vino was really going well here indeed, almost got my hopes up for a top 3 in that giro, but he hit top form to early unfortunately

(well he did win the LBL so who am I to complain to much )

All that doesn't matter.

He won the olympics beating a sky guy in England.

They gotta give him another title, cause legend ain't doing it

well, the choosen one was for some weird reason given to some grey and boring spaniard that can't win a race if it bit him in the asz atm. So we are kinda out of options

It's in pieces coz the stream broke at some points.
Nevertheless they didn't seem to show Astana once in the TTT

 

[search]

thanks a lot

they did show Astana at ~5 minutes during the first part of the TTT btw

 

[JRanton]

I think we've found 'best podium girls of the year so far' at Trentino by the way. Sagan wouldn't know which bum to grab.
