Giro d'Italia 2011 Stage 20: Verbania - Sestriere 242km

[Moondance]

Super ride from Kruiswijk(sp). The future looks bright for Rabobank, how is his TT?

He's a good TTer. Nothing spectacular.

Although his form is so good he might just about do a Top-10 tomorrow, I'd say.

at this point - i'd love to see kyryienka winning the stage-what a great effort he's done today

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Betancourt now almost dropping Rujano too.

 

[Spare Tyre]

C'mon Roman! I need the CQ points.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wow. This is a stunningly beautiful descent.

Do you mean top 10 in the TT or on GC? Because Sivtsov, Nieve and Kreuziger are going to lose a shedload and fall out of 5th, 6th and 7th today.

This would be super sweet, after the week Movistar have had.

Well, it is almost impossible he loses today.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

That Movistar Dogma looks quite nice.

Sounds good. I guess Rabo don't really mind Van Garderen choosing HTC a couple of years ago

 

[Sasquatch]

Kruijswijk is decent against the clock. This will be emotional if kiryienka holds on. If someone catches him surely they will work a deal where he helps them in return for a stage win.

Top-10 stage, yes.

I should've clarified

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Kiryienka might win the team comp for Movistar

 

[dlwssonic]

nibali seems like he is not really going for it

 

[Publicus]

Love the in race highlights.

yes, i was just thinking that... a fitting end.

 

[The Hitch]

Harmonn keeps saying that Finestre last time round was a 2 man attack - Rujano and Simoni.

Umm di luca too.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I think the descent has flattened out a bit.

 

[Moondance]

Kreuziger 20 secs behind.

Could have saved his white on the descent.

 

[Bala Verde]

Kreuziger closing in to Contador.

 

[Ferminal]

Kreuziger almost bacK?

 

[dlwssonic]

I think the descent has flattened out a bit.

even before on the technical parts

 

[Publicus]

There are only so many times a rider can go into the suitcase of courage before he finds that it is empty. I think he's trying to conserve energy so that he can limit his loses on the final climb.

EDIT: Roman almost overcooked that corner.

 

[killswitch]

Kruijswijk attacks!

 

[YoRUsh]

Kruijswijk not giving up
