Jillbear and Nibbly

 

[Tuarts]

Lastras is up there according to CN ticker

 

[ruamruam]

Any sign of Dan Martin?

 

[zapata]

the great descender nibali crashed

still, he got up on his bike again, and still has a gap to mollema.

 

[Michele]

Ahead in 3 guys, Gilbert, Lastras and Scarponi.
Behind alone Nibali trying to chase back.

No word on Martin.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Any of the Hog's boys up there in the front?

 

[Andy99]

Any sign of Dan Martin?

Ditto. Was just thinking that. not seen 'owt so far.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Didn't Nibali end last season early due to a crash?
Even great descenders hit the deck occasionally.
Sanchez joins him with Amets T.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gilbert going way too early imo though everyone is way behind so who knows?

 

[theyoungest]

Any sign of Dan Martin?

He crashed earlier in the race. Maybe that has something to do with it.

 

[whittashau]

the great descender nibali crashed

So falling on a descent once makes Nibali a bad descender?

 

[Walkman]

Gilbert is descending like...I don't know, but heck, the dude is fast!!

 

[Tuarts]

Bloody Ads! Bike seat - now with secret compartment for your clenbuterol!

 

[Tuarts]

Fugslang and Barredo with Nibali

 

[auscyclefan94]

So falling on a descent once makes Nibali a bad descender?

No but I think he is over rated as a descender!

 

[Anonymous]

brad wiggins is tweeting.. one assumes he has abandoned

 

[Nicoper]

For past 20km Serbian commentator is ignoring the race and talking only about transfers. He mentioned only that Nibali hid the deck and that is it. I hate him, aaaaaaa

...Nibali and commentator

 

[Andy99]

So falling on a descent once makes Nibali a bad descender?

Definitely not in these conditions. Leaves and a wet, slick surface make it particularly difficult to judge. (I know you know that)

 

[theyoungest]

No but I think he is over rated as a descender!

BTW, where is your august hero?

 

[The Hitch]

Harmonn said no Garmin riders near the front. So theres the Dan Martin answer

 

[ruamruam]

Surprised there is not more crashes on the descent

 

[auscyclefan94]

BTW, where is your august hero?

out the back!!!

 

[Tuarts]

Fugslang and Barredo with Nibali

And Sanchez, Nieve, Mollema, Uran according to the Italian graphics.

 

[Michele]

Surprised there is not more crashes on the descent

Savoldelli from the motorcycled reported that everybody is going down very carefully.
