Giro d'Italia 2011: Stage 14 Lienz to Monte Zoncolan

[Libertine Seguros]

Boring, didn't live up to the hype at all.

Coming from a guy who wants to put in multiple 70km ITTs so that Tony Martin can win a GT without ever needing to get out of the saddle?

 

[Tuarts]

Dupont - excellent ride, best Ag2R rider this Giro!

 

[Thomsena]

Boring, didn't live up to the hype at all.

Oh, the irony.

how good is Anton on TT?

It isn't bad. AFter 20 days, I don't think there will be a lot between nibbles and him in the tt. I hope it's decided in the mountains.

Never heard boos at finish b4 Are there precedents?

Armstrong on Mont Ventoux in the 2002 TDF

Did I see the overall GC standing correctly???
AC with a 6+ minute lead over 2nd place on GC (Menchov)?

 

[Ramira]

I have to say Sioutsou has impressed me this Giro. I always knew he was a powerful rider but he's showing he can climb better then I thought.

I think it was 3:20 on Nibali, 3:21 on Anton.

No, Menchov's 7th or thereabouts. They kept Alberto's time at the top but shifted all the other names.

 

[nvpacchi]

Anton epic today!! big ups!

 

[maltiv]

Anton is just getting better and better. He has timed his form to perfection. Even Contador will have problems with him in the third week, I think.

 

[taiwan]

I have to take back the thing I said about Rodriguez being second to Bert on this stage. I suppose it was clear from early in the race he wasn't going that well.

No, you didn't. Menchov is 6th in the GC or so. Nibbles second by around 3 minutes.

3m20s over Nibali, 3m21s over Anton.

Anton +3'21"

how good is Anton on TT?

he improved a lot over the last years... but even he's no mach for the Conti - Nibali - etc

EPIC victory,, strategy of starting slow (both Nieve&Anton) and build up his form during the first 2 week is paying good

They were showing rider's in 6th-10th compared to AC.

 

[Shardi]

Anton makes another Contador-drop. Very few riders have that on their palmares..

btw,, anyone got a list of zoncolan winner-times?

 

[Phoenix23]

Really bad day for Arroyo and Kreuzinger. They lost time to everyone, including Dupont, Nieve, and Sitsov.

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

I request:

One (1) picture, preferably high res, of that brilliant man taunting Contador with a steak on a stick.
One (1) picture or (preferably) clip of the motorbike overheating.

Thanks.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Visconti 29th...

I really wonder all the time what Visconti is actually doing at the Giro.
Nothing half and nothing full.

Just...strange riding.

 

[Walkman]

So does anyone know how Anton's, AC's and Nibble's time up Zoncolan comepares to Basso's, Evans and Scarponi's from last year?

Nibali is 2nd at 3:20

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Sivstov really amazing me

 

[GroupDK]
