Giro d'Italia 2011: Stage 13 Spilimbergo to Grossglockner

[Scirea]

Instead of showing the stage live from the start, Eurosport will show the stages from yesterday, 60 minutes for ToC and 80 minutes for Giro.

Pathetic, I would never understand it.

 

[insideout leadout]

Blame RAI not Eurosport.

 

[roundabout]

I don't think it has anything to do with Eurosport. Not even Rai are showing the whole stage.

 

[Christian]

Non-starters so far

Cavendish, Renshaw, Petacchi, Hondo, Belletti and Ventoso

Wow I think Contador will win General, Points, KOM, Most Combattive rider and Azzuri d'Italia classifications

 

[Hugo Koblet]

That takes a lot of balls by him, especially seeing as he will probably not make the time cut on at least one of this weekends stages

Well it would be pretty hard not to make the time cut on more than one stage

what is the azzuri d'italia classification?

i don't think it's the only giro competition that i'm clueless on. seem to be a few of them. i'd appreciate it if someone who know and has a spare minute or 5 could run through them all.

I don't know what it is either but he currently lies in first place after Cavendish and Petacchi quit

 

[roundabout]

Riders get 4 points for winning, 2 for second, and 1 for third on the stage. Points are added together.

Ooh you know what I mean

Yes, it takes a lot of balls to hang onto a side of a car and get an easier ride up a climb.

 

[Publicus]

Reports of rain and wind at the finish (Eursport live tracker).

Yes, it takes a lot of balls to hang onto a side of a car and get an easier ride up a climb.

Problem is he probably can't do that on the Crostis and the Zoncolan, as there will be almost no cars there

And I bet Saxo Bank doesn't chase.

 

[spalco]

Sounds like a pretty strong group imo.

 

[insideout leadout]

15 teams represented in that break. Lastras best placed +6.58.

 

[will10]

Lastras might even take the jersey. Maybe.

 

[Publicus]

Lastras might even take the jersey. Maybe.

I would bet that is Saxo's plan.

 

[marco1_79]

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

 

[Tuarts]

That group is going to the finish

Will be 5-6 left out the front at the base of Glockner.

Parking on the left is the finish area, Grossglockner peak is on the right, across the glacier.
