for Tondo

Great celebration. Great tribute.

Amazing performance.

5 minutes till Rujano/ Rodriguez come in.

 

[ggusta]

Contador's just having a bit of fun today. A leisurely ride through Italy.

I really don't know what I was expecting, but this is one of the dullest (mountain) stages I can ever recall. Good thing there was so much scenery. Not much else from my point of view.

 

[luckyboy]

Winning it for Tondo

 

[Moondance]

Mechov has been caught.

His holiness is clearly not infallible this Giro.

EDIT: Woz wrong. Belgian commentators lied to me.

What a great stage win for Kiriyenka. Everything looked so smooth and simple. Solo climbing like a gazelle.

 

[Publicus]

Team Gadret is closing down the Pope.

 

[superconfex]

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.

he has teammates???

 

[The Hitch]

Gadret catching Menchov.

 

[jobiwan]

Feed died at the finish, so couldn't see Kiriyenka at the end.
Still, a fantastic result and a great stage win!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Gadret catching Menchov, what a man

 

[Libertine Seguros]

To tell the truth, I couldn't give a damn about the disappointing GC action. The shot of Kiryienka crossing the line is enough to make this stage great.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

nicely done by Kiriyenko

 

[Spare Tyre]

Very impressive ride by Kiryienka. Lovely tribute to Xavi Tondo too.

Beautiful.

 

[Bala Verde]

There's black smoke coming from Menchov's pipe. The diesel is running out of steam?

 

[Parrulo]

team gadret proving that you go faster on a TTT then on a ITT

poor menchov

Shouldn't have expected too much with Contador in a safe 1st while the 2nd and 3d in GC are "diesels" who never attack in the mountains. Everyone else has attacked.

 

[Ramira]

he has teammates???

Well there's other cyclists that wear the same outfit as him at the very least, could be an accident though

 

[Spare Tyre]

To tell the truth, I couldn't give a damn about the disappointing GC action. The shot of Kiryienka crossing the line is enough to make this stage great.

Agreed. I shed a few tears.

And anyway, the scenery has been gorgeous.

I know I expected Scarponi to try and take some time on Nibbles and I'm confused why I didn't. He certainly can't leave it to the TT.

And AC is STILL just chilling.

There's black smoke coming from Menchov's pipe. The diesel is running out of steam?

That means we have to wait some more for his successor

 

[Ramira]

Purito closing in on Rujano

my live feed died... is he losing ground now?
