Giro d'Italia 2011 Stage 17: Feltre - Tirano 230km

[Moondance]

Peloton at 2'59.

So Sivtsov and Dupont gain around 2'45 on the other GC men?

 

[YoRUsh]

RAI doesnt want to show a repeat of their hero in trouble?

 

[luckyboy]

Sivtsov looking like 6th overall after this stage.

 

[spalco]

Haha, VIsconti is ****ed off.

 

[Moondance]

Why should Ulissi get punished?

He closed the door on Visconti.

 

[superconfex]

visconti is VIXED

 

[goggalor]

Visconti will probably be DQ'd, but he had no choice. He would've lost anyway if he hadn't done that to Ulissi.

 

[Ramira]

Uci is going to look at the footage, what a shocker

RAI doesnt want to show a repeat of their hero in trouble?

Yeah I don't know what's up with that, I missed it first time so I really want to see the replay.

They are interviewing Visconti and he sounds ****ed.

 

[roundabout]

le mevel edging closer to that top 5

I don't really get why he is so empty now after doing good for 15 stages.

Ulissi was a punk but Visconti shouldn't have done that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1. Ulissi
2. Lastras
3. Bakelants

I think

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

seriously visconti should be dq'd

 

[Parrulo]

Visconti almost pushed over Ulissi mid-sprint if that had been a mass sprint someone would've been seriously injured there's no way they can let him have the win it was just to dangerous, regardless if he was right or not.

that wasn't a mass sprint

if visconti hadn't pushed ulissi he would get second because ulissi would be dq'd and lastras would have been second therefore the winner.

 

[The Hitch]

I think Visconti was in the right but he should have chosen to go on Ullisis right not on his left.

 

[Ramira]

Looking at it again I don't think there's much of a chance Ulissi even knew Visconti was there, the gap was closed by the time Visconti jumped into it. My money is on a victory for Ulissi right now.

 

[luckyboy]

Visconti cut across Lastras and Bakelandts to get to that side of the road

 

[spalco]

Because he put Visconti against the barrier.

Hm, yeah, after seeing the replay, I could understand both getting punished. Visconti's shove was worse though imo.

Sivtsov looking like 6th overall after this stage.

5th overall by 6s

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sivtsov in the top 5. Hopefully he fails big time on the Finestre

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

1. Ulissi
2. Lastras
3. Bakelants

I think

i agree.

poor by visconti imo. I like the guy but that was....

 

[Ferminal]

lol @ Visconti, will be hard for him to get the win after that. But there's probably a case for Ulissi to lose it too.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

le mevel edging closer to that top 5

All he has to do is the same thing in the next 57 stages.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeayy Sivtsov 5th

 

[Moondance]

Visconti is definitely out.

Ulissi.... Meh, he drifted to the left, but Visconti shouldn't have jumped into a shrinking gap.

 

[Jamsque]

I don't understand why Visconti switched to the left, he had tons of room on the right and if he'd kept going he would have won for sure. I don't see how the jury can let him get away with taking his hand off the bars and pushing another rider.
