Giro d'Italia 2011: Stage 13 Spilimbergo to Grossglockner

[Moncoutie]

Nice looking breakaway. Will be cheering for Valls Ferri all the way!

 

[insideout leadout]

I don't think big names will attack today.
The climb is quite easy and everybody fears next days.

But they still have to have good legs because there is 6km at roughly 10%.

wtf is bmc doing not getting into the break

 

[Squire]

Lastras might even take the jersey. Maybe.

I doubt it. He struggled when he was in the breakaway on the Etna stage. Can't really see him dropped from the breakaway and still gaining six minutes on the peloton.

I like Valls for the stage win.

Saving themselves for tomorrow not to miss the time cut.

 

[Scirea]

Valls vs. Samoilau ftw

 

[maltiv]

Nordhaug in another breakaway, he must be skys most aggresive rider ever! On a good day he could actually win this, as there are no superclimbers in the break...

 

[insideout leadout]

Andrea Noe 42 years old is my tip.

 

[Christian]

Hoping for a nice performance by Rafa Valls, the Hoogie or Nocentini! Also great to see Noe in there

BMC are at the Giro?

 

[Jan the Man]

Valls vs. Samoilau ftw

If he's recovered from his crash two days ago then I reckon Kiserlovski is the strongest climber in that group.

That's what I was thinking and it would be a nice result for him. He's had rough year so far (with the crashes).

i was watching yesterdays highlight on eurosport live feed http://www.fromsportcom.com/v-2/6/20/v-262001.html but it got changed to RAI damn...i dont understand italian

 

[spalco]

Sarmiento is the only one of the group I have in my fantasy team, so I'm rooting for him.

 

[Publicus]

Rai is up and doing it's preview but has live images (Saxo is in leading the "chase" but the gap is just getting larger):

[just some guy]

Cycling news ticker says BMC Kristoff in the break ???

I'm on my phone no images is that correct?

 

[The Hitch]

If he's recovered from his crash two days ago then I reckon Kiserlovski is the strongest climber in that group.

Probably, but there is also a guy in there who has come 2nd in Paris Nice.

Your dear friend Nocentini?

 

[nvpacchi]

Saxo getting an assist from Euskatel with the chase.

Euskaltel's punishment for missing the break

 

[insideout leadout]

Euskaltel's punishment for missing the break

Or Anton for the stage!

 

[will10]

Euskaltel's punishment for missing the break

They'll be thinking about Anton too.

 

[Tuarts]

Lastras off the front now according to CN ticker.

 

[will10]

Probably, but there is also a guy in there who has come 2nd in Paris Nice.

Think these climbs are a bit too big for Nocentini
