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

[Bala Verde]

2k and the top 10 is cracking jokes...

 

[Ramira]

Is it just me or does it feel like Gadret is giving up his 4th spot to Menchov like this. Considering how awful Gadret is in a TT if he loses a minute or a bit more to Menchov today he most likely won't be able to hold on (And I reckon Menchov will take Purito easily leaving only Rujano and Menchov with a shot at 4th)

 

[The Hitch]

Oh damn. No 3rd for Betancourt

 

[jobiwan]

wow this is really boring nobody is looking to try anything against conta

It would be pointless, as even if they got a gap (which they wouldn't), Contador would just take it back tomorrow.

 

[Moondance]

Kiriyenka with a truly magnificent victory today.

Legend

Good to see pro riders also need oxygen.

Perhaps Gadret doesn't feel like buying a lot of expensive gifts for the entire team which he would be obliged to do in case he realizes a top 4...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I was thinking that. So often we talk about riders not breahting too hard... J-Rod was giving everything there.

 

[Publicus]

Well this stage will not go down in Giro lore for its excitement.....

 

[killswitch]

Gadret finally!

 

[superconfex]

TeamGadret goes

 

[Gloin22]

Gadret attacks !

 

[jobiwan]

A well-deserved flamme rouge for Kiriyenka. Great ride considering the circumstances at Movistar.

 

[thirteen]

which team car just shook Kiriyenka's hand?

 

[Publicus]

Team Gadret's gone. TTT to the finish!

 

[The Hitch]

Kiriyenka coming in. Chapeau. Chapeau.

The Pope is laying down an edict right here

Ha. Nice

Well he's attacking now so it seems my point is moot anyway. However unless it's in his contract I doubt he would buy any gifts, it's not like his "team mates" could like him any less.

 

[Bala Verde]

Gadret solo....

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Fantastic from Kiriyenka, I guess he targeted this stage a while ago. Classic.

 

[maltiv]

Contador does his best to save energy for tomorrow so that he can win the TT. This was probably just an easy recovery ride for him.

 

[thirteen]

chapeau!!!

 

[Parrulo]

this one goes for xavi!!!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great victory for Kiryienka and Movistar. Amazing performance regardless of the speed of the favorites.

It was a joke. He would only have to buy himself a really expensive Rolex...

 

[Ferminal]

Excellent... great win.
