Giro d'Italia 2011: Stage 13 Spilimbergo to Grossglockner

[GoAndyGo]

1'35" back to Nibali and Scaponi plus 12" for second. AC didn't even look like he was trying. He was just out for a leisurely ride.

pozzovivo masive fail also.

 

[jobiwan]

Machado

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Well. That was a full-on beat down.

I think Androni and Saxo talked about this prior to the stage.

 

[canyonball]

I don't actually blame Gadret now. Dupont was struggling and Anton was just behind. If the french felt strong he should just go.

BTW Rujano made me laugh at the finish I'm torn beetween " will contador keep his promise" or " will I be able to stand on the bike without hands".

 

[Publicus]

Contador could've taken another minute if he wanted to. 2006 called and asked for its Giro back.

LOL. Ok now that's funny.

 

[Eshnar]

Great stage (though the chasers sucked)
Can't wait for tomorrow

 

[Escarabajo]

Serpa coming!

Hate gifting - demeans the win, annoying for fans, pathetic all round.

Incredibly unimpressive from everyone else today - the fact there's no differentiation between the rest of them just makes it look like they're not even giving it a full effort.

 

[cineteq]

Blah, as much as I'm a Rujano fanboy, I didn't like it with Andy and I still don't like it. No gifts please Bertie

It's not a gift, it's a contract.

He is toying with them, thats the impression.

 

[Highlander]

I think that the the GT organizers should just give Contador the overall win if he plans on entering and then just turn it into a race for second place with Contador getting to hang out on the beach. He is making stage racing far too predictable and boring because the only question is how many minutes will he beat everyone by.

le mevel and sivstov at 4 minutes

Yeah, I hate it too, but not today.

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, Stetina with Le Mevel?

 

[balkou]

Very well done by Rujano. Where's he been all these years?

In RAI they were saying about his life-style during the past years. Although it's hard to imagine him as a party-animal

 

[roundabout]

****ing piece of crud ****ing race

agree with both.

gifts suck.
and the 2nd group was depressing.

AC will destroy the group tomorrow. Rujano will probably take 2nd place.

wtf were ag2r doing?

 

[luckyboy]

Don't know why Harmon is saying Contador is head and shoulders above everyone else. Didn't he see the other guy with him?

Granted he's way back on GC, but I can't see him not getting ont he podium now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Dupont was 2 seconds behind Gadret.

Nice work, Johnny.

 

[Jamsque]

Ahahahahhaa Bert has three minutes on 2nd already. If this keeps up his winning margin will be the six minutes he already has on Rujano plus however much he takes out of him in the ITT.

i thought it was sweet.

(it feels nothing like that BS with the Schlecklett)

a sign of respect that somebody was gutsy enough to try to follow and actually good enough to stick.

chapeau!

 

[Ferminal]

Haha, 3'09" already, with the three hardest stages and two ITTs to come.

Gogogo 10mins!
