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

[Mellow Velo]

Rujano doing a job on messing up folks tempo climbing, clearly.

 

[spalco]

Rujano is so fast they can't even capture him on camera anymore.

 

[dlwssonic]

Szmyd looks so damn cool climbing!

probably learned it from basso.

 

[Publicus]

Rujano 30 seconds ahead of the group.

It would be so much better if Szmyd wasnt there.

Scarponi is going to have to do something to disrupt the rhythm Szymd is setting or he will contribute to his own loss.

 

[Ferminal]

Onto the dirt

 

[Eshnar]

Kirienka is on the sterrato

 

[Moondance]

Oh yeah

Just hope noone flats.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

4 minutes for Kiryienka at the commencement of sterrato.

 

[The Hitch]

Kiriyenka off the asphalt. Watch some of these turns put them to a standstill a few times.

 

[Ramira]

Szmyd has done some epic pulls on the front in the past, but this might be one of his greatest.

Good to see Szmyd is back on form, it was painful to watch a guy who made last years Giro exciting not being able to show his class.

 

[dlwssonic]

bring on the strade bianche!

 

[hfer07]

Rujano going for the kill today- no doubt

 

[Publicus]

Kiriyenka off the asphalt. Watch some of these turns put them to a standstill a few times.

You were right. Kiryenka struggled through that turn.

EDIT: Twitter feed says that Kreuziger is coming back to the Contador group. Looks like Syzmd isn't killing it at the moment.

 

[Mellow Velo]

It isn't all this smooth, Mr Harmon.
Now the real grovelling begins........

 

[Descender]

Szmyd is not going very fast. He hasn't taken any time off Kyrienka and even Brambilla got back on the group...

 

[Ferminal]

Kiryienka will reach the top first, could very well win the stage if he saves something for the final effort.

 

[superconfex]

Kiryienka 4 mins ahead

 

[luckyboy]

Basso and Nibali cooking a shoe never fails to make me laugh.

 

[Parrulo]

i wonder how long till nibali or scarponi make a move

 

[The Sheep]

Szmyd not really gaining time

 

[Descender]

Szmyd's pace is a joke.

 

[Parrulo]

rujanito hammering it on finestre.

oh doesn't that bring us back a few years?

 

[luckyboy]

Sastre is in the lead group?

Cool

 

[icefire]

Kiryenka climbing faster than the maglia rosa group!

 

[Moondance]

Rujano has a minute now.

There's still a long ways to go though.
